You can always roast your veggies before adding them for tons of added flavor. But plain, unseasoned veggies are sure to make your mac taste a bit bland, so be sure to take that into account.

Related: 7 Easy Meals To Make When You Have Zero Time 5 Delicious Ways To Upgrade Your Mac And Cheese Because age and experience have taught me that dinner can still be quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing without being boring! :-) In fact, if I could go back and live our “mac and cheese phase” over again, I would choose to be a lot more experimental with what I would add to our mac! So if you still happen to be in your “mac and cheese phase” as a family (or maybe you just love mac and cheese!) I thought that today I’d share some quick and easy ideas for dressing up your standard mac and cheese dinner. Looking back now, I wish I would have explored that little glimmer of culinary creativity I’d had with the corn/peas idea. (I started compromising by adding a little of both.) It did the trick of making our meals go further, and my kids took the change surprisingly well! In fact, my oldest started preferring it with corn, while my 2nd oldest insisted that it was best with peas. My solution was to drain a can of corn or peas and mix it in with the mac and cheese right at the end. Residue can leave your wood floors hazy, sticky, and impossible to clean, but I'll show you a surefire way to get rid of it.
