Oven-Baked QSR Macaroni Dishes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Popeyes Homestyle Mac & Cheese is Authentically Crafted

— November 17, 2021 — Lifestyle
The Popeyes Homestyle Mac & Cheese is being launched by the brand as an authentically crafted and flavored dish that is perfect for those seeking out a convenient cold weather comfort food. The dish is crafted in much the same way that a person would made it at home, and consists of macaroni noodles mixed with a butter and cheddar cheese sauce before being oven-baked with additional shredded cheese. This creates a dish that has a golden-brown crust on the top to help complement the rich, cheesy noodles within.

The Popeyes Homestyle Mac & Cheese is being launched at participating locations now for pickup or delivery and is likely to be a hit amongst patrons looking for a satisfying option to enjoy on its own or with additional items.
