Applebee’s Just Dropped a New Broccoli Cheddar Mac ‘N Cheese Bowl

— April 2, 2022 — Lifestyle
Applebee’s is making its menu irresistible with the debut of its new Broccoli Cheddar Mac ‘N Cheese Bowl.

The new Applebee’s is part of Applebee's returning Irresist-A-Bowls menu. This star dish consists of penne pasta tossed in a rich Parmesan cream sauce, and then mixed with broccoli, shredded carrots, applewood-smoked bacon, and a medley of melted Cheddar cheeses. The result is a rich and indulgent pasta that also packs a veggie punch.

Other items in the returning Irresist-A-Bowls lineup include the Grilled Chicken & Spinach Alfredo Bowl, the Tex-Mex Shrimp Bowl, and the Homestyle Chicken Bowl, among others. And while availability may vary based on locations, the Irresist-A-Bowls menu will be available from Applebee's locations nationwide for a limited time this spring.
