Baked Lobster Mac and Cheese

Lobster can make any meal fancy. Even a classic homestyle dish like mac and cheese becomes a gourmet dinner with just a little bit of this luxurious protein. While you may think that baked lobster mac and cheese is unattainable at home, our delicious recipe eliminates the complicated steps and keeps things simple!

The secret ingredient for making Baked Lobster Mac and cheese in under 15 minutes? Nutrisystem’s frozen Mac and Cheese dinner entrée! This hearty meal features elbow macaroni pasta drenched in velvety smooth cheddar cheese sauce. Plus, it’s a good source of protein and fiber.

While we use our frozen Mac and Cheese dinner to make this recipe, you can also use our non-frozen White Cheddar Mac and Cheese lunch entrée. Just be sure to count it as a Nutrisystem lunch instead of a Nutrisystem dinner.

A Smarter Version of a Popular Restaurant Meal

This restaurant-inspired recipe can be compared to the popular Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese from The Capital Grille restaurant. While the delicious taste is similar, the portion size and calories are drastically different. Our perfectly-portioned recipe clocks in at just 322 calories and 7.4 grams of fat per serving. On the other hand, The Capital Grille’s Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese dinner contains a whopping 830 calories and 57 grams of total fat per serving.*

With all of that being said, our Baked Lobster Mac and Cheese recipe will help you stick to an appropriate serving size of this decadent dish that supports your weight loss goals. You can log it as one Nutrisystem Dinner, one PowerFuel and one Extra in your NuMi app journal.

How to Make Baked Lobster Mac and Cheese

To make this simple and easy dinner recipe, grab a Nutrisystem Mac and Cheese from the freezer and heat it up according to the package’s directions. Once it’s finished cooking, stir in a half-cup of cooked and chopped lobster, plus some Old Bay or Cajun seasoning.

Pour the Mac and Cheese mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle one tablespoon of breadcrumbs and one tablespoon of parmesan cheese on top. Finally, pop this elevated Nutrisystem dinner into a 350-degree oven and bake it for 10 minutes. Garnish with a little bit of chopped fresh parsley before digging in.
