Keto Popeyes-Style Mac and Cheese

Keto Popeyes-Style Mac and Cheese

↓ Jump to Recipe

Keto mac and cheese with real keto macaroni noodles, not cauliflower or some other substitute. It's creamy and cheesy, just like Popeyes, without all the carbs.

This is the half batch for an 8x8 dish. For a full casserole dish, double everything and bake up to 15 minutes.
