Baked Beans and Vermont Mac and Cheese

Suvie is the perfect accompaniment for your favorite summer recipes. While you’re outside grilling up the main event, let Suvie prepare everything else inside. Two of our favorite sides at any New England barbeque are baked beans and mac and cheese. We love the tanginess of Vermont cheddar cheese alongside sweet and creamy baked beans. We recommend a young cheddar for this recipe to ensure a smooth texture; any cheese aged over one year may become grainy.
