Macaroni and Cheese Dinner Board
Serving a “cozy” Macaroni and Cheese dinner on a booard is easy! Above I made this dinner on a 24-inch board (not available anymore), but GREAT NEWS! I now have my boards for sale (3 epic sizes), that are food safe, and made in the USA!
You may have also tried my Caprese Chicken Casserole recipe (that would be fun served on a “board”) or my Chili Dinner Board Recipe.
Serve your favorite mac and cheese recipe, or if you’re in a pinch for time, buy at the local market. This is what I love about dinner boards. The options are plentiful, and you can always take shortcuts.
And so many of you have asked about the pan that fits perfectly on this board!
LeCreuset 5-quart stainless steel braiser
Guys, I’m using my favorite 5-quart Stainless Steel Braiser that is lightweight and fits beautifully on these big boards. It’s shallow enough to not overpower the board. It comes with a lid, so you can serve the food hot (place a pothoolder down first). You can buy this LeCreuset 5-quart Stainless Steel Braiser [affiliate link] and I think you’ll love it!
Mac and Cheese Bowls
Building your own Mac and Cheese Bowl is a fun, cozy dish for weekend hosting! Think outside of the box and let your guests make their favorite mac & cheese bowl.
Toppings for a Mac & Cheese board
Here are some of the toppings to serve with a Mac and Cheese board:
- Chopped ham
- Chopped crispy bacon
- Parmesan cheese
- Pesto
- Chopped chives
- Salami pieces
- Chopped sausage
How to serve an epic dinner board
Serve the mac and cheese hot by adding it to the board last.
We served ours in a Le Creuset braiser. Keep the lid on until right before serving!
Nice and hot!
Set out ramekins or your favorite bowls!

Welcome to Reluctant Entertainer blog!
If you’re new to my blog, then WELCOME! I know I have a lot of new readers, so I thought I’d share a little more about Reluctant Entertainer.
First of all, I started my blog 14 years ago for reluctant entertainers. If you follow my The Big Board or dinner board ideas, you may wonder if I am actually reluctant. HA! No! But I’ve had family members who are, and I wanted to share more about hospitality, including ideas for opening our homes.
I’ve never been reluctant, but I want to help those who are!
Bringing people together
Dinner boards are a fun way to bring people together in a casual way. Create one big board, set out the plates and silverware and napkins, and you’ve got a party!

Make Apple Goody Dessert or even Tidy Mom’s Layered Walnut Pumpkin Pie for dessert.
And we love my friend Ree’s Mulled Cider, that not only makes the house smell delicious, it’s tasty and perfect for the weekend!
