Enjoy your delicious homemade macaroni and cheese for longer by storing it properly. This creamy, cheesy comfort food can be safely preserved to savor its delightful flavor in the days to come.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

Yes, homemade macaroni and cheese freezes beautifully! Allow it to cool completely before portioning into airtight containers or freezer bags. For best quality upon reheating, consider freezing it without a crispy topping. To thaw, transfer it to the refrigerator overnight and then reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the sauce, making it a bit more liquidy, but the flavor remains excellent.

Signs of Spoilage

A sour or off smell, distinct from the usual cheesy aroma.
Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
A slimy or gummy texture, indicating bacterial proliferation.
