5-Minute Mac and Cheese - A delicious and quick weeknight meal. Perfect for kids or for a game day side dish!

When we have a party for “The Big Game,” most of the time it’s with our kids. Just last night my five year old asked us when our team is going to be playing again. It’s so much fun having these parties with them! We love serving easy food at these parties. Who wants to be cooking all day before the game? This 5-Minute Mac and Cheese is perfect because it’s so easy to make and only takes five minutes after the noodles are cooked. Perfect for our party!

Red Baron Brick Oven Pepperoni Pizza is our main Big Game party favorite. Not only is the pizza really good, it’s easy to bake and easy to serve. Our family loves it and it’s a regular at our Big Game food table.

Walmart has a great variety of Red Baron Pizza. My husband and I love the Thin & Crispy Supreme. No matter what style of pizza we choose, we all love it.

Edwards frozen pies are another favorite treat for Game Day. We simply pull the pie out of the freezer and it takes hardly any time to thaw. Then we serve! Super easy and always so yummy no matter what flavor we choose.

Once you’ve cooked the pasta according to package directions, pour it in a large bowl with cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Give it a stir and place it in the microwave. And that’s it! Five minutes later you’ve got yourself a gooey, cheesy side dish for Game Day.
