Can I make a Macaroni Cheese tonight and bake it tomorrow?

[MrsRajeshKoothrappali]

Or will it go weird?

And if it is possible how long would I cook it for?

This was supposed to be in chat, sorry!

It'll be fine

Yes, I do that a lot. Noone ever complains

I would do it up until the mixing stage- cook the pasta, make the sauce and chill separately otherwise the pasta absorbs te sauce and its all rather solid.

I remember a whole family ate a macaroni cheese that had been baked the previous day. Nobody has seen them since...

I would cook it for about 45 minutes. I would put some grated cheese on the top just before it went in the oven.

I always work on the principle that restaurants make lots of things the day before so if you keep it in the fridge it will be fine.

It is a bit more solid, but they seem to like it like that, rather than sloppy on the plate

It's ok reheated but stodgier. Warm it till it is really hot in the middle.

I make fresh pasta and then pour sauce, that I've made the day before, over it. Tastes no difference to freshly made.

If cooking from fridge 45 min, if you take out and allow to reach room temp 20

I make the while thing up and put in dish

It will be lovely...lots of cheese on the top until it goes crunchy

Just add more sauce keep it moist. I cook everything the day before and chill it all separately and put it all together before baking it the next day.

Just make a bit more sauce and a bit thinner - macaroni al dente. Mix it up, bung in fridge - oven next day wit foil take foil off after 35 mins - sprinkle with grated cheese ad bingo after another 10 mins. Perfect
