Donna Elick — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:05:00 +0000

Boston Market Mac and Cheese is so thick, creamy, and indulgent — perfect as a simple dinner or as a cheesy side dish to a larger meal. A few simple seasonings add just the right amount of savory, tangy flavor to the sauce made with cheddar, parmesan, and American cheese. Before you know it, the whole pot will be gone!

If you’ve ever gone and bought Boston Market macaroni and cheese, then you know just how good it is. The rotini pasta in this copycat recipe is one of my favorite parts.

I cook it al dente so that it has a next texture next to all that creamy cheese!

And I love that when the craving hits for this easy recipe, I can whip it up right at home. It’s the ultimate comfort food side dish recipe that makes more than enough to share.

Or, if you’re like me, you can fill a bowl, put on your comfy pants, and eat it all on your own. No judgement here!

Boston Market Mac and Cheese

And when it’s cold outside and the day has been busy, there’s nothing better than a thick and creamy mac and cheese to warm you up and stick to your ribs. Add a slice of meatloaf for the perfect dinner!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Pasta – Use rotini for the most authentic Boston Market mac and cheese, though any spiral or ridged shape will grab the thick sauce just as well. Try penne, fusilli, radiatore, or cavatappi instead.
Butter & Flour – A dynamic duo that helps thicken the cheesy sauce when cooked together!
Half-and-Half – This is a US product that is equal parts heavy cream and whole milk. It’s the perfect balance to create a sauce that is rich and creamy but not too thick or thin.

Mix up a substitute yourself if needed, or feel free to use all milk or all cream for a different consistency.
Cheese – You’ll need 3 types of cheese for this Boston Market mac and cheese recipe — American, cheddar, and fresh Parmesan.

Be sure to use deli-sliced American (not Kraft singles!), but you can decide whether to use mild, medium, or sharp cheddar.
Seasoning – Mustard powder and paprika are a must for any homemade mac and cheese!

Garlic powder makes the whole dish extra savory, and you can add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips and Tricks to Make Copycat Boston Market Mac and Cheese

Bring butter and half-and-half to room temperature first.

The butter will melt more evenly (and faster) so it isn’t too hot when you whisk in the flour. Then, you can easily add the half-and-half without worrying about lumps!

Simply measure out the dairy ingredients and let them sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before starting this Boston Market mac and cheese recipe.

Prevent the cheese sauce from becoming grainy.

Keep the heat low while stirring in the shredded cheese or it’s guaranteed to separate. Turning up the heat won’t make it melt any faster and will only cause problems!

Also, add the cheese in stages, starting with the slices of American.

Once those are completely melted, sprinkle in the cheddar and parmesan a handful at a time until smooth.

Toss the pasta with the sauce while it’s still hot.

Warm pasta absorbs any sauce better than when it’s been cooling for too long. I always try to time it so that I’m draining the pasta not too long after the cheese sauce is done!

Prep Ahead

Shred cheese
Bring half-and-half to room temp

Donna’s Pro Tips for Boston Market Mac and Cheese

Bring the butter and half-and-half to room temperature first. It melts evenly and mixes in without lumps.
Add the cheese in stages, starting with the American. Let it fully melt before sprinkling in the cheddar and parmesan.
Keep the heat low while stirring in the cheese. Turning it up won’t melt it faster, it’ll just make the sauce grainy.
Toss the pasta with the sauce while it’s still hot. Warm pasta soaks up the sauce better than pasta that’s been sitting.
Reheat with a splash of milk on the stovetop over low heat. It brings the creaminess right back.

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

Large Pot and Strainer to cook and drain the pasta.
Large Saucepan – Choose a heavy-bottomed one so the heat is distributed more evenly and doesn’t burn the cheese sauce.
Cheese Grater – Fresh cheese makes this recipe even better! Skip the bagged shreds and buy a block to grate yourself.
Whisk – These have held up for over 10 years and are still as good as the day I bought them.
Heat-Resistant Spoon – Perfect for cooking, stirring, and serving.

Serving Suggestions

Talk about versatile — this dish goes well with crispy chicken for a restaurant vibe, roasted chicken for a weeknight dinner, or with ham or pot roast for a weekend feast. It would even be welcome at a holiday meal!

And, of course, this copycat Boston Market mac and cheese pairs perfectly with a thick slice of meatloaf!

Include some steamed or roasted veggies and maybe some dinner rolls or cornbread muffins to round out your plate.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Once the cheesy pasta is cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Sometimes, I’ll make a big pot and freeze individual portions for easy dinners. Just thaw in the fridge overnight!

It’s best to warm Boston Market mac and cheese on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of milk to get it nice and creamy again, and stir frequently so the noodles heat evenly.

Boston Market Mac and Cheese Recipe FAQ

How do I make the sauce more tangy?

Cream cheese or sour cream are easy additions that will make mac and cheese extra tangy. Or instead of mustard powder, stir in a little yellow or Dijon mustard.

It’s rumored that the original Boston Market mac and cheese recipe contained blue cheese, which might be just the tang you’re missing. Sprinkle some in and see what you think — a little goes a long way!

Is Boston Market mac and cheese baked?

No, it’s a simple stovetop recipe. That doesn’t mean you can’t make a baked version, though!

Prepare the dish as directed, then transfer it to a large baking dish. Sprinkle a little extra cheese or some breadcrumbs on top, then bake for 15-20 minutes at 350°F

If you do so, you’ll want to slightly undercook the pasta — about 1-2 minutes less than the box instructs. You may also want to thin out the sauce a bit (with some milk or pasta water) since it will thicken up more in the oven.

What else can I add to stovetop mac and cheese?

Meat and veggies are always winners, but you’ll need to cook them separately. Toss in some shredded chicken or pork, or cook and crumble a few strips of bacon and sprinkle them on top.

Steamed or roasted broccoli always tastes great in macaroni and cheese, but I’ve been known to toss some peas in there too. Even a frozen vegetable medley (green beans, peas, and carrots) will work in a pinch!

Enjoy!

With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Ingredients

1 pound rotini pasta
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half & half
12 ounces deli-sliced American cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions

Cook 1 pound of rotini pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, whisking continuously until a smooth paste forms.
Gradually pour in 2 cups of half & half, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Lower the heat and add 12 ounces of deli-sliced American cheese, tearing the slices for easier melting. Stir until melted and smooth.
Mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted into the sauce.
Add 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder. Stir until well combined.
Add the cooked rotini pasta to the cheese sauce, gently stirring to coat the pasta thoroughly.
Transfer the mac & cheese to a serving dish, serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

While rotini is suggested, you can substitute it with other pasta shapes like penne or fusilli, which also hold the sauce well.

Store leftover mac & cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.

For longer storage, freeze portions in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Copycat Boston Market Meatloaf Recipe

Donna Elick — Sun, 16 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This Boston Market Meatloaf Recipe is just as juicy and flavorful as the original, but you can make it at home with simple ingredients whenever you like! The secret is making the glaze with BBQ sauce instead of ketchup and toasting the breadcrumbs first. Everyone will be begging for another slice!

Boston Market Meatloaf Recipe

While I usually think of Boston Market recipes around the holiday — hello, sweet potato casserole, and mac and cheese — there’s a reason the restaurant is known for its comfort food.

And nothing says comfort like a thick slice of meatloaf, especially on a chilly night!

This Boston Market meatloaf copycat recipe can be prepped and in the oven in just 20 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to clean up the kitchen and work on sides while it bakes.

You might as well make a double batch and freeze one for later. Or, enjoy meatloaf sandwiches for lunch throughout the week!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Ground Beef – Use an 80/20 blend which has enough fat to keep your Boston Market meatloaf moist and flavorful without being too greasy.
Breadcrumbs – Plain breadcrumbs are perfect for this recipe, though you could use panko if you want a little more texture.
Onion & Garlic – These add loads of savory flavor! Chop a yellow or white onion as finely as you can so the pieces are more evenly distributed throughout the loaf.

In a pinch, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder and about ½ teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
Tomato Purée – Pay close attention to the label! Purée is thinner than paste but thicker than sauce, so you’ll want to use the right consistency in the meat mixture.
Worcestershire Sauce – Enhances the beef flavor and adds even more savory goodness.

The best substitute is soy sauce, but you’ll want to reduce the amount of salt if you go that route.
Eggs & Milk – Both add moisture and help bind the meat mixture together so it doesn’t crumble or fall apart. Try to let these warm on the counter first if you can!
Seasonings – Dried herbs like thyme and oregano, plus some smoked paprika, round out the flavors in this Boston market meatloaf recipe.

If you’re sensitive to heat, you can reduce the amount of black pepper or swap the smoked paprika for sweet.

Italian seasoning can also take the place of both the thyme and oregano if needed.
BBQ Glaze – A simple mixture of barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

I love using a hickory-smoked version of BBQ for an extra smoky flavor but feel free to use your favorite. My Jack Daniel’s recipe would be good too!

Tips and Tricks to Make Perfect Boston Market Meatloaf

Combine the ingredients gently until just combined.

Overworking the meat mixture will lead to tough and dry results. I tend to use my hands instead of a spoon or spatula so I can really work the ingredients together.

It also helps to mix the Worcestershire, eggs, and milk together first, then pour that into the bowl. You won’t have to worry about the yolks being concentrated in one spot.

And if you have the time, let the egg and milk warm on the counter for about 30 minutes before starting this Boston Market meatloaf copycat recipe.

The eggs especially mix in a lot better when they aren’t cold!

Divide the glaze, adding half towards the end of baking.

If you slather it all on right away, it will end up burning or becoming hard by the time the meatloaf is cooked through.

This way, the first batch soaks into the meatloaf a bit and the second batch can caramelize on top!

Let copycat Boston Market meatloaf rest before slicing.

It needs about 10 minutes to settle so it doesn’t fall apart, and the extra time allows the juices to redistribute throughout the loaf.

If you slice right away, the juices will just leak out everywhere.

Prep Ahead

Toast breadcrumbs
Chop onion and mince garlic
Make BBQ glaze

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

9×5 Loaf Pan – Keep in mind that glass and dark bread pans bake hotter. So, you may want to lower your oven temperature by 25 degrees if using one of these.
Mixing Bowls – I like to have a variety of sizes on hand, and this set has them all.
Instant Read Kitchen Thermometer – No more guessing if the meat is done.

Serving Suggestions

You can never go wrong with the classics: a big helping of fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy or your favorite mac and cheese.

I’m always trying to sneak more veggies onto our plates too. Toss green beans, Brussels sprouts, or carrots in the air fryer for an easy side to this Boston Market meatloaf recipe.

Though, Chad and Munchkin always ask for creamed spinach or creamed corn when beef is involved!

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Boston Market meatloaf makes fantastic leftovers — in fact, it tastes even better the next day! Slice and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

To freeze, allow the loaf to cool before wrapping tightly in plastic wrap. You can wrap the individual slices if you prefer.

Store in a freezer-safe ziploc bag for up to 6 months, then thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheat leftovers in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel to keep slices moist. Or, warm meatloaf in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350°F. Cover with foil if needed.

Boston Market Meatloaf Copycat Recipe FAQ

Do I have to toast the breadcrumbs?

It’s not required, but it can make a big difference in the texture of your meatloaf!

All you need to do is add the breadcrumbs to a dry skillet, then cook over medium heat for a few minutes while stirring frequently. Once they start to brown, remove from the heat and let them cool.

Bread crumbs will soak up some of the milk when you mix everything together, keeping your meatloaf nice and moist. But if they’re toasted first, they will keep some texture and won’t get soggy or clump together.

How do you know when meatloaf is done baking?

The most tried-and-true method is with a kitchen thermometer! Insert it into the very center of the meatloaf — it should read at least 160°F when cooked through.

You’ll also see the edges of the loaf pull away from the pan, and the center should feel firm when pressed with a finger.

Why is my meatloaf so greasy?

Avoid using extra fatty blends of ground beef to reduce the amount of grease.

You may also want to use a meatloaf pan, which is just like a bread loaf pan but with an insert that has holes in the bottom. This allows the grease to drain through the holes so you can discard it later.

Enjoy!

With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole + Video

Donna Elick — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole is one side dish that absolutely steals the show. Check out my video in this post just to see how outstanding it looks! Lusciously creamy with a decadent streusel topping, it’s seasoned with spices that just scream “holiday.” But rest assured – you can make this delicious, marshmallow-topped Boston Market sweet potatoes recipe any day, any time, anywhere!

Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole

This copycat Boston Market sweet potato recipe combines a rich sweet potato mixture with brown sugar streusel topping and mini marshmallows. It’s popular for a good reason!

It’s always popular, along with my Sausage Cranberry Apple Stuffing, for a Thanksgiving meal that’s sure to please all of your guests. And don’t forget the Cranberry Sauce!

Slow cooked, air fried, layered into a cheesecake… It’s no secret that I love sweet potatoes! I hope that one of my recipes can make their way onto your table this holiday season!

If you love recreating Boston Market at home, our Copycat Boston Market Meatloaf is the perfect main course to pair with it!

Difference Between Sweet Potatoes and Yams

Even though you will see labels for yams and sweet potatoes, what you find at the grocery store is typically two different varieties of sweet potato.

One will have lighter skin and pale yellow flesh, while the other will have darker skin with deep orange flesh.

Either will work just fine in this southern sweet potato casserole.

Making Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows

Cook the potatoes.
Start by boiling the sweet potatoes until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Then place them into a colander in the sink to drain the water out.
Add back to the cooking pot.
The heat from the pot will help absorb any excess water. Then add and mix in the sugar, butter, cream, and spices until everything is creamy and smooth.
Transfer to baking dish and bake!
Then, smooth the sweet potato mixture into a greased baking dish and top with marshmallow and streusel.

Bake until the top is golden and crispy. It’s that simple!

Ingredient Notes & Substitutes

Sweet Potatoes – The small and medium sized spuds tend to be the sweetest, so keep an eye out for ones around that size with little to no blemishes.

Larger potatoes are usually starchier – and that’s not what we want!
Light Brown Sugar – Brown sugar melds with the flavors of sweet potatoes much better than white granulated sugar.

Its deep, molasses-like sweetness is so incredible in this buttery, creamy casserole! Dark brown sugar works as well.
Heavy Cream – For that characteristic creaminess! Half and half or whole milk could work, too, but won’t add quite the same texture.
Ground Cinnamon & Nutmeg – I can almost smell and taste these seasonings just by thinking about them!!

As far as substitutes go, your best options are allspice and cloves. Both are well suited for these colder months – they’ll warm you right up!
Mini Marshmallows – And I do mean mini, please!

Smaller marshmallows will toast and fluff up just fine, while larger ones will give you more of a droopy, sticky mess.
Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – Our streusel is built on these tasty grains. It’s like an oatmeal cookie!

Don’t use instant oats – they’re over-processed, thin, and will make the casserole mushy.
Nuts or not, Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole hits the spot!
Substitute chopped pecans for rolled oats, or use a mix of both!
Double the recipe to feed a crowd!
You can easily double the sweet potato casserole recipe if needed.

Bake it in two separate 9×13-inch casseroles dishes, or a 4 quart casserole dish, so it doesn’t bubble over.

Tips For A Perfect Copycat Boston Market Sweet Potatoes Recipe!

Make It Dairy Free – The heavy cream can be substituted with coconut cream (the thick, creamy portion found at the top of full-fat coconut milk) or a plant-based milk.

Swap out the butter with plain ol’ margarine or another plant based butter substitute!
Can You Use Canned Sweet Potatoes? You absolutely can! Just drain them, rinse the syrup off, and mash them up.

You’ll need 8 cups of mashed sweet potatoes for this Boston Market sweet potatoes recipe.
Cook The Potatoes All The Way Through – Undercooked potatoes will totally sabotage your casserole!

Be sure to bake them until they’re fork tender – trust me, everyone would rather wait a couple of extra minutes for a super creamy casserole than get a lumpy, starchy mess earlier.
Try Frozen Potatoes! You can find sweet potatoes pre-skinned and cubed among the frozen veggies at the grocery store.

If you can snag them, do it! Those will be the ripest and sweetest potatoes around. Let them thaw in the fridge and then come to room temperature before using.

Prep Ahead Instructions

Because we’re not using eggs, this recipe is completely safe to prepare up to 3 days ahead of time! Talk about convenient!

Boil and mash your sweet potatoes the day before baking.

Season and store in the dish, either with a lid or tightly wrapped in plastic or foil, and refrigerate until a couple of hours before baking.

Set the dish out to come to room temperature before adding the streusel and marshmallows. Then, bake as usual!

This will really cut down on time and work for you on the day of!

If you’re making multiple portions and doubling up this sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, then I recommend doing so in two separate casserole dishes or using a larger 4-quart dish so that it doesn’t bubble over.

Recipe Video

To see this sweet potato side dish made from start to finish, watch the video! Look for it in the recipe card, at the bottom of this post.

Storing and Reheating Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows

I can’t imagine you’ll have any leftovers! But if you do, then you’ll want to keep this covered and chilled for up to 5 days.

You can reheat your Boston Market sweet potato casserole in the oven at 350°F or give individual portions a few 30-second trips in the microwave.

Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole FAQ

Does Boston Market sweet potato casserole have nuts?

The original recipe does, but this one does not! I replaced the pecans in the streusel topping with rolled oats.

You can certainly add them back into the mix if you’d like, or try a combination of the two!

What is the difference between yams and sweet potatoes?

The yam is like the tough cousin of the sweet potato. It is in fact a kind of sweet potato, but a dry and starchy kind. It has a light skin and yellow flesh.

The sweet potato that we know and love is sweeter, has a softer flesh, and a reddish tinge.

But you know what? Either will do!

How many calories are in a Boston Market sweet potato casserole?

The original Boston Market sweet potato casserole has 448 calories per serving.

While my copycat comes very close to what you’d get at the restaurant, calories always vary depending on the specific ingredients that you choose. So consider the calorie count of your own ingredients when preparing this recipe!
