We searched the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen’s archives for the best mac dishes we could find. We’ve got several versions on this dish. We started with classics such as the mac ‘n’ cheese served at Lawry’s, and the one served at the popular King’s Fish House seafood restaurant.

For you traditionalists, we’ve even got a version that unapologetically uses Velveeta.

We also have macs that kick it up a notch with barbecue sauce, another version that brings the heat thanks to chipotle, and one for those who like a little diced onion in their mac.

For those who like a little protein with their mac ‘n’ cheese -- you know, to make it a well-rounded meal -- we’ve got one that is topped off with grilled chicken, and another studded with slivers of prosciutto.
