Not me looking at just mac and cheese videos for the past 3 hours at 2-4 in the morning

The mustard is a secret BANGER!!! I always add it to my Mac & cheese to bring out the flavor of the cheeses.
Yes it does. It makes the cheese cheesier!
Any cream based pasta actually.
Are you talking about the ground mustard
But I hate mustard 🤢
@@dannyr313 I have used both, but you don't want to use a lot of it it should enhance and make it elevate the Mac n cheese but taste like you added mustard to it!
I’ve made this twice now (following your process) and it gets better every time. It amazing.
Really appreciate the history behind it and recognizing the major contribution African Americans gave to mac and cheese. In the black community, mac and cheese is serious business! 😆 Y’all make me wanna make some right now
Imagine being known for Mac and cheese meanwhile the everything else was invented by whites. Lol.
I want some of ur chesse😋
@@donmichael2932 wow you are quite the loser.
I'm I know it.major part of our holiday meal.and comfort food.
Literally to the 1% whos Reading this God bless you and may your Dreams Come true stay safe and a wonderful day 💕🙏💞
Yo thank you, kinda needed that today not gonna lie.
Ty
Thank you💜
No

If you fancy a white cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese, brie cheese works wonders as a melty cheese for the sauce! Creamy with a slightly nutty bite, worth it!
Do you use everything or do you use the creamy part only?
@@user-pc7bo7sz6e i don't think the rind melts, so the creamy part only probably?
@@tanyabhaskar2888 the rind does melt if you give it enough time
@@riccardobuso5379 oh! Does it dissolve in completely or just get soft?
Mixing usually helps in making it melt much faster, usually little pieces might remain since it takes much longer for them to completely melt. I personally don’t mind them, they do change the texture a little in a way i enjoy
This Mac and cheese recipe looks super delicious! I LOVE MAC AND CHEESE! I am so making this version!
I’m a sucker for a good Mac and cheese recipe and this looks good enough to try! 😋😋
I can make this for you if you buy it lol
@@johndoe-wt4ui hard pass mr. Doe, the chef's DNA is always present in the dish 🤚
Really good! Here’s something else you could say instead of delicious.
Me too!
Ur everywhere
I made this and it was AWESOME! Seriously, the best. I think what makes it really good is including the corn starch in the cheese and also the one egg in the mixture. The topping was crusty and cheesy and complimented the creamy mac and cheese center. All around good mac and cheese!
Can you plz explain the recipe and amount of stuff you do to make this Mac n cheese ?🥹
1. butter in pan
2. mustard powder
3. cayenne
4. milk
5. egg with a lil milk
6. cheese with cornstarch after taking off the heat
7. add the pasta
8. add to baking dish
9. more cheese on top
10. bake (180°C, 20min) cover dish with foil
11. broil (5min)
12. rest for 5min
how much do i add for two servings
For that extra bubbly, browned top they did not cover with foil. :) She stated other recipes cocer theirs, but for this recipe they did not.
I forgot to thank you for this recipe 😅😅😅 Your amazing mix saved me and it was a BOOM 🎉 for my husband’s family on Thanksgiving. I still get compliments on my dish! ❤ thanks to you ❤
Toss in some small bit size grilled brisket in that. Yum.
I made this and it was delicious. The mustard/cayenne pepper combo worked really well. I will say though, if you're planning to make this and you're using metric, double check the measurements as they're a bit off. The recipe estimated 8 servings using 8 oz of pasta, I used approx 12 oz (375g) pasta and got 4 large servings. Also the recipe says prep time takes '10 minutes'. Yeah, maybe if you're using store bought pre-shredded cheese, but it took me at least 40 minutes prep. I also needed another pair of hands for the tempering part. The only other change I made was a few sage leaves and chopped chives as garnishing added pre-broil. Overall, a very enjoyable mac and cheese, but not as quick/simple to prepare as I thought it would be from the video.
🙂
😂
Thanks!
@@JackelineYari You're welcome! ☺
for real, you speak truth🌟
Thank you for this recipe. I cooked mac & cheese according to your recipe. The result is excellent. Shopping for proper cheeses and preparation took a long time. I got some difficulties when adding an egg to the sauce. We, my wife, son and I ate all of them at dinner. It was so delicious. Thanks again for the recipe.
As a trained chef, I have to admit my initial doubt with this recipe since most mac and cheese I heard of are made with a roux or bechamel. However, they lack the gooeyness that you find when eating velveta or kraft and so on. I always wanted to make mac and these this way so I gave this recipe a try. Boy was I impressed. The technique of adding tempered egg and slowly emulsifying with cheese blew me away. Gone are the days starchy and non gooey mac and cheese. Great video!!!!
i am the biggest mac and cheese lover you will EVER meet so words can’t even express how much i want to make this. thanks for sharing ❤
Did you end up making it?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT MELTING POINT TIP
It has been frustrating to try homemade mac and cheese recipes and always get that grainy texture when adding the cheese
I have no words... so creamy inside and a cheesy crust on top! Thank you Thomas, thank you James!
why are you thanking a slave owner...?
@@Brianab3ar why are you accusing people of something they didn't do
@@fluffeeaxolotl9816 who do you think james is
:((((
@@fluffeeaxolotl9816 Thomas Jefferson did have slaves, although that wasn’t the original comments intentions which I agree with u on
@@Brianab3ar just mind ur business n stop trying to gaslight...everything in the world doesnt have to come back to slaves. .ugh its overused n over abused. And what, Their comment is wrong bc u dont agree with it??
"His enslaved chef"...If that MnC was so good, he should have freed him.
Great tips, TY! I usually add Panko or any seasoned bread crumbs on the top but I’ll try this without it.I’ve never thought about aromatics in Mac and cheese. Looking forward to trying this recipe and methods.🧀
Loved the short history lesson in the beginning.
Me too
Loving the technicalities and science of this video. Really helps to understand what I've been doing wrong.
Looks good. As someone's who tried many Mac and cheese recipes and tweaked them to my liking, I wouldn't used overprocessed American cheese. It gives it a weird flavor and leaves the texture almost too creamy which was evident by the top browning but the underneath layers still being extremely saucy and not "binding" with the noodles.
Also wondering why they didn't grease the baking dish even if they were to do it just lightly.
I've found the best way to make Mac and cheese is to make a roux and then make your sauce from there. You don't need a lot of butter or flour, just even portions of both, boil your heavy cream or whatever, and add your flavor and melting cheeses and season to your liking.
I do agree that ground mustard gives baked Mac and cheese that extra bite of flavor.
Not a bad recipe, just has potential to be better.
I've made M&C like yours my whole life....love it!!! However, I tried this very recipe for Easter and my entire family LOVED it so much more
I didn’t taste the American cheese in mine
@jessica. I’m team roux as well. It’s foolproof for creamy goodness.
This is a no roux mac& cheese. The main thing would be to shred your own American instead of single slices, but the recipe in the vid looks delicious
I agree. I also cringe when I see Velveeta as an ingredient, it RUINS the taste as it adds a "chemical, fake" flavor. I detest it! So many people use it, and I am baffled.
*Wishing everyone the best sleep of their life after having seen this relaxing video!*
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. I’m actually a decent cook but there are few things I’ve never been able to get quite right. Mac+cheese is one of them. I’ll be giving this a try.
Made it today- amazing!
I love mac and cheese and this just made it better ✨✨✨✨
Hyuui t
I’m the kind of man that gets Mac and cheese no matter the restaurant, I will eat a box of Mac and cheese for dinner no problem, if I feel like getting fancy I’ll add chicken, bacon, jalapeños, etc. THIS CHEESE SAUCE IS THE MOST DELICIOUS CHEESE SAUCE I HAVE EVER HAD. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I tried this tonight .. I did my normal tweaking. I have to say this was my best mac and cheese attempt so TY for the recipe.
Definitely going to use shells next time and try half cheddar and half mozzarella. I start with a roux and it always turns out very creamy, even without baking. American cheese is just a step too far for me. I can't even have that in my refrigerator. I mean, what if I died? Somebody would find it cleaning things out and think I actually ate it. 😉
Definitely with you on that one.
@@KiwiBassHead same
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I actually ended the video as soon as she said she’s using American cheese for Mac and cheese😭😭!!
Totally agree. The name of that "American" cheese is an embarrassment!
looks amazing, thanks for sharing this recipe
I made this, used potato starch instead of cornstarch, mozerella instead of american cheese, left out mustard powder and parmesan and it was still delicious! :)
I'd definitely love to try this recipe. Looks super delicious. Thanks a lot, hey
I don't use a roux. I assemble it and pour milk in it before baking. But what I do with my noodles before assembly is I mix them with butter, cream cheese, and sour cream. That's how I maintain my creaminess. As for cheese selection, it depends. For holidays, I use things like Monterrey Jack, aged gouda, and Muenster. For family BBQs, I used pepper jack and smoked gouda. Both go great alongside my standard cheeses. But when it's a normal day, I like to keep it simple and use just my standard cheeses, which are sharp cheddar, mild cheddar, Colby jack, and Mozzarella. I try not to over season my Mac because I want the cheese to do most of the flavoring, so just a pinch of a dash will do. And my family loves my Mac. Especially my sister.
I always do baked mac and cheese for holidays, definitely gonna give this recipe a go.
Looks amazing, can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you 😊
I actually learned more from this recipe than i did from several others i watched! Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Shells is my favorite noodle for Mac n cheese too! This channel is like recipes for junk food, but fancy
One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese. Happy hungry! Cheers, Domenico.
Which one are you thinking about? I love S’Mac on the Lower East Side.
@@thekub32 ahahaha :-) Exactly! S'MAC East Village - 197 1st Ave., New York, NY 10003.
I'm an European who's never tried Mac n' Cheese and has quite a lot of cheese at their disposal, I'll try this out!
Everytime i made mac n cheese it didn't turn out good. But this recipe helped me a lot with their tips! Some of the tips from this video that helped me:
- Use melting and flavourful cheese
- turn off heat before adding cheese
- add all purpose flour or cornstarch with the cheese
- when baking, make a lid with cheese over the Mac n cheese.
- and def broil after baking!! It adds the crunchiness
My mouth was watering throughout this entire thing lol. I love Mac n cheese
This recipe just saved the Thanksgiving I’m attending last minute. Thank you for a quick and easy yet very tasty recipe to save my behind!
me
Let me know how it tastes!
Omd my whole CZcams fyp is just Mac and cheese 😫🤤
This recipe is fantastic very satisfying. I tried this recipe easy for me to follow.. Thanks
Great backstory about James Hemings 👏👏👏
YEs! I wonder if James is Sally Hemings is his sister?
My mom always adds bacon, garlic, and parsley or corriander leaves to her mac and cheese, and it's the best pasta dish ever created by humans
Oh my word. This looks heavenly!
Thank you for sharing this recipe everybody loves it in my family ❤
That looks soooooo good!
Writing I think you not a chef..
I’m never giving up cheese, not even mac and cheese.
This is the Ultimate Mac &Cheese. Ive made 10 to 15 different versions. My family agrees. And, I agree. Fantastic.
Definitely making this recipe. On another note I have those fun colorful plates!!
I made this Mac ‘N Cheese recipe for my family last night. No joke, this was FIRE!!! I know it sounds cliché, but it was just like my mom used to make. Creamy, cheesy and delicious!
I wish i was there to try this 🤤🤤🤤
Thank you! I did and it was delicious!
I tried to do this big scale and the sauce looked too thin when I put it in the oven, currently waiting for it come out. It came out really well I’m loving it. X
I’m only 11 and I love cooking and baking. Definitely gonna try this recipe bc it looks extremely delicious
I like using Gouda cheese because of the flavor profile it adds. But please be mindful if you decided to add Mozzarella. Mozzarella will make the sauce more melty, and can get clumpy if you put too much of it in. I wish you the best with your Mac n’ Cheese!
@Shayna Goh I’m 11 too!
I love the combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella & Parmesan on pizza. I’m not the biggest fan of just tons of mozzarella- it doesn’t have much flavour- the other cheeses take it to a whole new level!
...and then they added just a touch of yellow mustard ...
Thank you very informative
I appreciate the History lesson. This recipe is awesome...Thanks!
Good luck today for alll those scrambling to get this dish done today on Thanksgiving.
Nutmeg enhances cheesy flavors in a magical way. I highly recommend adding just a little bit. Also, does anyone else love bread crumbs on mac and cheese?
I'm going to remember this nutmeg tip! I've always wondered about that so it's curious that you've mentioned it! And YES with the crispy breadcrumbs!
Made this and it tasted amazing 10/10 recommend
Interesting bit of info with the cornstarch, definitely gonna have to try this variation.
i've never tried to make backed mac and cheese but i tried yesterday and it came out so beautifully I was so proud of myself 🤭💗.
LOVE THE PFP 🎀
Dear Tasty, I hope you make another season of Edible History with Hannah Hart. ☺ BTW, this recipe is simple yet awesome. Thanks, Tasty!
This is a staple in the caribbean on sundays for our sunday lunch.
Thankful for those presently with me, and for those that have earned their wings.
Happy Thanksgiving
Butter, heavy cream/milk, egg, Gouda, Velveeta, Salt, pepper and macaroni noodles. Boil in chicken broth water to give noodles more flavor. Top with cheese. My recipe for years. Delicious...
Wow that sounds awesome! I need your recipe please!! (I'm bad without ingredient measurements)
Yes!!! No flour. I love it; will absolutely try this recipe.
pasta is made from flour.... what are you talking about?
@@jayjohnson8403 they meant no roux
@@egyptiansushi thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing your recipe.
I’m making this tonight! Lets hope it tastes as good as it looks here
My lactose intolerance self rn: aha that’s funny🥲
Make some sacrifices
That looks so delicious 😋
Bbq restaurants should serve this
@@chriswalls5831 ikr!
Thank you for the update, Tasty..!! That's one tasty looking mac and cheese..!! I feel hungry again..!! 🤣
Thank you for including the historical aspect to it!
THE "SHEEEEESH" AND "THOU ART SLAPPING" GOT ME SO GOOD 💀
Came for the recipe, liked for the detail, saved for the pun :D
I've made a ton of mac's old school. This really simplifies it and I got a feeling goin to be perfect. I'm doin it next time
Does it taste great
Looks delicious 👌🏻
So Gouda :) I'm definitely try this recipe, it looks much better than the one I usually cook. Thanks for the recipe.
I think the only cheese I hadn't heard of was that fruity 1 lol gotta love cheese the perfect baked top can 4sr be hard to master
Ah rhe broiler
I love making Mac n’ Cheese. Please don’t use Mozzarella if your end goal is a silky sauce! It will make the sauce way more melty, and if you add too much of it, your sauce will clump and separate from the milk.
I'm in this kitchen ready to mix and cook this recipe.
Muito bom... parabéns
You say to use block instead of pre shredded because they add stuff to prevent caking, but you added the cornstarch to your shredded cheese, which is what they add to pre shredded cheese to prevent caking. Your reason why not to use pre-shredded contradicts what you did to your block cheese.
Pre-shredded: PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES, ANNATTO [COLOR]), MODIFIED CORNSTARCH ADDED TO PREVENT CAKING, NATAMYCIN (A NATURAL MOLD INHIBITOR)
vs
Block cheese: PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES, ANNATTO (COLOR), NATAMYCIN (A NATURAL MOLD INHIBITOR). The only difference is the cornstarch.
Thank you, I thought the same thing.
Underrated comment. They don't know the food science at all
And they used American cheese....I mean is that even considered "cheese"? 😁
@@marilynalvarez9951 It's not but that's the authentic "cheese product" used in mac and cheese. Plus there's sodium citrate in american cheese which helps with emulsification
@@marilynalvarez9951 exactly! i was so surprised when they chose it
So... no written recipe?
its on their website look in the description
@@shewshoo I'm glad they added it! It wasn't there before :)
I love Mac and Cheese 🧀 I will deff be trying this !
This is so mouthwatering i love Mac'N cheese.
I’ve made lots of Mac and cheese from different sites claiming it is the best there is and yet the recipe was disappointing (personal preference, right?). I love Laura Vitale’s original Mac and cheese. This also looks good so I might give it a try.
@le maison noire Most online recipes are over glorified. I recommend adding Gouda to the Mac n’ Cheese. I haven’t heard of the egg trick before, but I tend to make a roux. But I’m going to stop using a roux, because I find the butter doesn’t incorporate into the sauce well, and makes it greasier overall…
Love mac n cheeze 🧀
Parece uma ótima receita de comida vou fazer
Any other melting cheese options besides the three you offered. Velveeta and American are the worst for people that have a hint of lactose intolerance and the mozzarella seems melt in a weird rubbery & separate fashion. I use mozzarella but I’d like something else as a primary melter… so any other suggestion. The more the cheese is aged, the less it seems to affect the intolerant. My go to cheeses for all my meals are swiss, cheddar, mozzarella, colby jack, and muenster is my fave… very buttery flavor when muenster is melted.
Cheddar melts fine. Three good cheeses together is Gouda, cheddar and pecorino, they melt fine and make a great sauce, add a little mozzarella to give it a stretchy consistency
You can try adding cream cheese or sour cream maybe? It makes it creamy too.
Making the recipe now! Kinda worried of the amount of pasta though. I’ll let you guys know what I think of the recipe!
(Edit) I thought it was really good! But I was right about the amount of pasta. There needed to be about another half cup of the shells. The sauce was really good but it did not look like their version. Either they added really high quality ingredients, or they simply got a food editor to make everything look nice. Also add more cheese! If your sauce is looking rather thin add more cheddar. It may give the sauce more flavor if it tastes bland. And too much spice! Tone it down a little bit. I enjoyed the cooking process and the results, but it was not worth the effort. I recommend making it for a family gathering or any other special occasion. If you want to make homemade Mac and cheese please just do a classic stove top or a simpler baked version.
What did you think of the recipe?
@@zackgallinger1096 Hi! I just edited my thoughts on my comment here. I hope I gave you some information on this recipe!
Definitely mouth watering
Definitely gonna make it! 😋
Great recipe! I think its a little weird you tell people not to use pre shredded cheese because they have starch, then also tell them to add starch to it at the end?? I always use the pre shredded stuff and ive noticed the extra starch usually helps :p
She said “additives” not starch. :) so cellulose (amongst other things).
@@nikkisaunders3590yes! using pre shredded cheese also makes it extremely hard to melt!
This looks good, but ain’t nothing beating that Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese 😌
Love this. Mac and cheese forever!
Looks Delicious yummy yummy love Macaroni +Cheese thanks for sharing.
So no recipe, no link to a recipe?? We can't make perfectly creamy and gooey Mac and cheese without those 🥺🥺
I know! I need measurements to make a successful recipe. I wanna make this sooo bad!!
