Mac n Cheese topping?

[MaBelle]

My mac n' cheese is pretty good but tomorrow night I need amazing.  What should I top it with, I want something crunchy.  Dried onions?  Crackers?

Isn’t bacon suppose to make everything taste even better😊

I sprinkle bread crumbs on top of mine and then add another layer of extra sharp cheddar. It makes a heavenly crunchy top if you leave it in the oven long enough, or put it under the broiler.

I do something similar - I use panko bread crumbs and mild cheddar (because I like it better) and just bake it long enough so that it's got a nice cheesy crust on top.  It's absolutely the best part of the mac n cheese!  I could just eat that and be so happy.

BACON! 😄 🥓

I usually do ritz crackers with butter, although bacon does sound good.

Toast some panko bread crumbs in a pan with butter and a touch of paprika before baking. The panko is my favorite part. 

I do this, too. Also, I have switched from baking my mac n' cheese in a regular 9x13" pan to a rimmed half-sheet (18x13") pan. My family loves that there is twice as much crunchy stuff!

We've used crushed croutons before. Ritz crackers with butter is also good.

Panko mixed with parmesan.  If you like smoke flavor, like bacon, add smoked paprika.

What about letting people choose the toppings?  We had this at a grad party and it was a huge hit. Bacon, green onions, sour cream, salsa, chopped veggies, etc.
