With temperatures this chilly, dive into one of these ridiculous bowls of mac and cheese. Don't be surprised if a nap is required after.

Move over, Velveeta. The baked shells and cheese at this fried chicken joint are decidedly superior, thanks to the addition of creamy brie, which adds a touch of decadence.

Blatt Beer & Table has an obsession with mac 'n cheese. Diners can get some in bite form as an appetizer, order some as a side dish, score some for the kids, or choose from several "adult" versions. Check out the Truffle Mac with bacon, peas, and truffle oil, or the Buffalo Blue Mac with fried chicken, Sriracha buffalo sauce, and blue cheese. For the serious mac and cheese enthusiast, the Manhandler Mac is stuffed with smoked pulled pork and kielbasa, barbecue sauce, onion, pickles, paprika and chives.

This cheesy, decadent dish wasn't always on the menu, but the Jumbo Lump Crab mac and cheese at Pappas Bros. was such a cult favorite, they went ahead and added it. Giant chunks of crab mingle with multiple varieties of cheese for a completely indulgent side dish.

Ball out at this Uptown steakhouse with a perfect cut of beef and excellent wine, but don't miss the Maine lobster mac 'n' cheese. There's also a straightforward mac and cheese on the menu, made with Gruyére and white cheddar cheeses, and a bacon version made with Nueske's bacon and Tillamook cheddar. Choose wisely.

In the Habanero Bacon Mac, the bacon is almost undetectable to the naked eye (besides, it's pretty dark in there), but you'll definitely taste it. A kick of heat from habanero peppers plus a sprinkle of green onions and crispy breadcrumbs takes this penne-based mac over the top.

Eat the beef rib, but definitely save room for a side of mac and cheese at this Dallas barbecue icon. Diced green chiles and a sprinkle of bacon on top make this creamy, ridiculously rich mac and cheese a Pecan Lodge must.

It's unexpected to find a comfort food like mac and cheese on a Lebanese restaurant's menu, but do not underestimate the power melt-in-your-mouth lamb shank scattered throughout creamy baked pasta and cheese. It's unbelievable.

Head to this Bishop Arts mainstay for a decadent side of classic mac and cheese, or get an entree-sized version with a twist. The Buffalo Mac is topped with a few chicken tenders tossed in spicy buffalo sauce and then sprinkled with bleu cheese — then try to keep it together.

Green onions are the confetti at this cheesy, creamy spiral mac and cheese party hosted by Hudson House. Just the right amount of breadcrumbs for a little crunch make for a ridiculously solid plate – and sharing is optional.

This meat Mecca in East Dallas makes a pretty perfect side of mac and cheese to go with your brisket, prime rib, sausage, lamb, duck and more, but then they went ahead and topped it with their brisket chili and knock it right out of the park.
