This is also delicious baked in one large cast iron skillet or 6 to 8 (depending on the size skillet) individual mini cast iron skillets. If baking in mini skillets baking time will be 18 to 25 minutes. Click Spice Up Your Mac and Cheese to see my blog post about this recipe. Lots more photos there!
