I tried Dolly Parton’s new mac and cheese recipe. It’s the perfect Thanksgiving comfort dish.

• Dolly Parton once told me she’s a huge fan of mac and cheese and loves making it at home.
• Now, she’s sharing her Thanksgiving mac and cheese recipe with the world.
• The dish features three different cheeses, including cheddar and Velveeta.

When I interviewed Dolly Parton for the first time, the country music icon told me she was a huge fan of mac and cheese and loved making it at home.

Now, Parton is finally sharing her recipe with the world thanks to “Good Lookin’ Cookin’,” the new cookbook she wrote with her sister, Rachel Parton George.

I tested a few of their Thanksgiving dishes, including the holiday potatoes and sweet potato casserole. But it was the mac and cheese I was most excited to try.

Here’s how it went.
