When it comes to storing leftovers,

I recommend refrigerating this Bacon Mac & Cheese in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freezing for up to 2 months.

To reheat, simply place the mac and cheese in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

And don’t forget to top with a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese for that extra-crispy touch!
