I just actually tried adding some crispy breadcrumbs on top and gives mac and cheese that extra crunch. YUM!

And hey, mixing in some diced roasted red peppers adds a pop of color and flavor that really takes it up a notch!

If you're feeling adventurous, try topping your mac and cheese with some crunchy breadcrumbs or crushed-up potato chips for added texture. It adds a nice contrast to the creamy pasta.
