Born from a dinner standoff with a toddler and now a family favorite, this Broccoli Mac & Cheese is the comfort food you know, with a little veggie wink. One rainy evening, desperate to sneak greens past my picky nephew, I stirred broccoli into mac and cheese—and magic happened. He called it “Dragon Mac” and never looked back. Creamy, cheesy shells meet tender green florets for a bowl of warmth and nourishment that satisfies every craving. It’s the kind of meal that hugs you back—and makes the whole table smile.
