I love pasta and homemade macaroni and cheese, but it's never anywhere near as good when warmed up for leftovers. Since I have had to travel extensively in my life for work and don't like eating out all the time I came with this recipe that it exclusively designed to be used as 'leftovers', or perhaps you prefer the term meal-prep. I guarantee that this will be the richest and creamiest warmed-up again Mac & Cheese that you have ever had! I have many many revisions to this recipe in order to get it just perfect, and I still add to it more in the form of variations when inspiration strikes. Whether you reheat this in the microwave or on a hot plate, this will turn out excellent. 

==Ingredients==
*2 boxes Kraft original cheddar mac and cheese
*2 packets Velveeta cheese sauce
*1 bag broccoli Florets chopped very small
*1 cup heavy cream
*1 1/2 cups hot water
*2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (150g)
*1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (85g)
*6 teaspoons pizza seasoning
*6 tablespoons Panko
*1 tablespoon beef broth
*1 tbsp olive oil
 
====Seasoning Ingredients====
*1 tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes
*2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
*1 tablespoon onion powder
*1 tablespoon dried oregano
*2 teaspoons garlic powder
*1½ teaspoons dried basil
*½ teaspoon salt

==Directions==
#Put olive oil into a pot and turn on high
#Stir in all the Panko and lightly toast until golden stirring frequently
#Let Panko mixture cool and divide into 4 oz cups
#Steam broccoli for 10 minutes
#Cook mac and cheese noodles for 8 minutes (El Dante)
#Place cooked noodles in strainer and drain
#Add the 4 packets of cheese sauce into the hot (empty) pot that the noodles came out of
#Add 1 1/2 cups hot water and the chicken broth to the pot and turn the heat on medium
#When almost starting to bubble stir in shredded Parmesan and cheddar
#When almost starting to bubble again add in the heavy cream and turn off the heat
#Stir in all the broccoli
#Divide the cooked noodles into 6 sizable appropriate for the freezer (I use nice glass dishes that I can take to work and reheat easily)
#Divide the cheese sauce into the 6 containers. Should be pretty soupy, After freezing and reheating much of the sauce will be absorbed.
#Place 2 teaspoons of the pizza seasoning in a 1 oz container with lid
#Place seasoning container inside of 4 oz and fill the rest of the space with Panko and seal (DO NOT refrigerate or freeze the topping)
#Freeze mac and cheese containers
#When ready to eat, heat mac and cheese then sprinkle pizza seasoning and Panko on top. Enjoy!!

==Variations==
====Roast Beef====
*Leave off the broccoli and instead add in 3 x 8 oz packaged roast beef lunch meat (diced). Mix the roast beef directly into the cooked pasta
 
====Smoked Salmon (Inspired by a dish from the Honey Seed restaurant in Chattanooga TN)====
*Leave off the broccoli and seasoning topping and instead add in a good amount of diced smoked salmon directly into the cooked pasta
 
====Jim Beam====
*3 cups water
*2 tsp beef bullion
*2 cups sharp cheddar
*2 cups Italian blend cheese
*2 tsp chicken broth
*1/2 cup jim beam
*1 tbsp liquid smoke

3/4 cups sauce per dish 
1 cup cooked pasta per dish 
had to cook an extra 2 cups pasta to use up the sauce 
*try to get rid of the reliance on the box mac and cheese and the sauces
*experiment with the stuff the make the cheese smooth
*8 minutes on the cooked pasta seems a bit too much
