Boston Market Mac and Cheese, made with three cheeses is super creamy and easy to make and the perfect copycat!
Boston Market Mac and Cheese
Mac and Cheese is the ultimate comfort food and nothing screams fall and holidays more than comfort food. We’re huge fans of Boston Market here for fast food, the chicken is delicious and we love both the mac and cheese and the creamed spinach.
Mac and Cheese has so many versions it is hard to call anything the Ultimate Mac and Cheese, but this creamy mac and cheese is the perfect Boston Market Macaroni and Cheese copycat.
Can I make this Boston Market Mac and Cheese on the stovetop?
Yes, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until creamy and the liquid is reduced.
Boston Market Bacon Mac and Cheese recipe:
Adding bacon is an awesomely easy way to make the macaroni and cheese. Swap out half the butter for bacon grease from the pan after cooking the bacon. Then once cooked top with 6 crumbled slices of bacon and stir gently.
Can I make this Boston Market Mac and Cheese in my slow cooker?
No, I don’t suggest it, but you can certainly make myย Slow Cooker Mac and Cheeseย and add swap out 1/2 cup of the cheese for blue cheese for a similar Boston Market flavor.

You guys know I am ALL about copycats, tell me what copycat you can’t wait to see on the blog, I would LOVE to oblige! In fact I asked this question a couple of months ago and someone said Wendy’s Chili and I bumped up the posting of it to the next day instead of months later because I’d already made it!
Tools Used in the making of this Boston Market Mac and Cheese Recipe:
Baking Pan: This is great as it looks good for serving too!
Skillet with Lid: I used my All-Clad pan for this recipe but I also own this exact pan which I use for clients and it is great quality at 1/4th the price. I cook for us with All-Clad pans I hope to pass down to my kids (I’m sappy, I know).
Copycat Recipes Book: This recipe was based on a recipe found in this book originally. I adjusted a couple of things but the main ingredients are absolutely found from here ๐
Rotini Pasta: Semolina is the first ingredient here, feel free to swap for your favorite pasta shape too.

This recipe did not do anything for me. It was like eating paste. I don’t recommend it. Sorry
Very good and super close to the real Boston Market mac and cheese.
Thanks JD! Glad you enjoyed it!

Enjoy!
It tastes good but not like the Boston Market one at all
This was tastey although it tasted nothing like Boston Markets mac. I was disappointed especially because it says โcopy catโ recipe. But 1-10 for flavor it is a 6 I think but thatโs just me so donโt let my opinion knock you from trying it.
I just tried this mac and cheese, but cooked the pasta first. 8 ounces didn’t look like much, so I add all 16 oz of the cooked pasta.
I assume now, since it’s not mentioned to precook that I should have put it in uncooked…. which way is correct?
This did come out very tasty….. I used 16oz of pasta however. I think it’s pretty close to Boston Market, but I didn’t use Blue Cheese, I used 8oz of Cheddar and 8oz of American. I also used whole milk. ๐
Thanks for the recipe!
The recipe card states to use cooked pasta. You did it right. ๐
It’s not a bad mac and cheese, but we love Boston Market Mac and Cheese and we were so pumped to try this. Sorry, but it’s not even close.
Would you recommend mild, medium, or sharp cheddar?
You can use whatever type you prefer. ๐ I used medium.
