For the past 20 years (!) I've used Patti LaBelle's mac and cheese recipe. This year for Thanksgiving, I wanted something a little more flavorful so I tried this recipe. I was soooo nervous (you know people don't like the switch up at Black Thanksgiving dinner😅). It turned out sooooooo sooooo good. This is gonna be my new go-to mac and cheese recipe from now on! (Sorry Patti! )We all loved it❤
Shauntay thanks for the Mac And Cheese recipe. I made it this Thanksgiving and it was great. My first time making real Mac And Cheese. You provided all of the knowledge, but I was proud of myself for not screwing it up. 🙂
Congratulations on your first time ! This comment made my day, I’m very proud of you as well. Thank you for coming back to share how it turned out - it’s truly appreciated ❤️
Girl I made this last night - and it was the most simple, delicious recipe ever! I didn’t know I was going to enjoy this as much. So nice having a simple recipe 🙃. Now I have to play around with ingredients to make a smaller amount because this came out to be too much, lol.
Hi. I executed your recipe for Thanksgiving. I did everything the same, except I grated 5 different cheeses & it turned out well, the whole pan was about gone tonight. Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing !! I finally can make Mac and cheese ! 😍 I did have to sub the liquids for just two cans of carnation milk but still fantastic ! When I do it again I’ll be sure to add those two so it can be as delicious as this
I always a butter flour roux but i love checking out different recipes but mine don't turn out gritty though if it is on other people's their probably not adding enough butter . but recipe looks great
Out of ALL the Mac and Cheese videos I've seen, this comes closest to how I make mine. It looks delicious 😋. I'm gonna try the sprinkle of onion powder 👍🏾. Thank you
Great recipe! *Cooking tip* if you're a fan of thick Mac and cheese like me, let the Mac and cheese "set" covered with foil to allow the Mac and cheese to thicken . Ideal for recipes with no roux
@@TheGlamKitchen OMG! It came out perfectly. Even when I was adding the butter and eggs I could see the difference in the texture and in the consistency. Which I’ve been struggling with making it too cheesy and chewy. I did add a little of Smoked Gouda though.
haven’t tried this recipe yet but i’ll def be doing so very soon.. idk maybe im weird but im just not a fan of using 6 diff cheeses in my Mac and cheese lol. it’s too salty! your recipe is simple and to the point 👌🏾💕
i think i shed a tear when i saw the preview, it looks so delicious 😂 maybe a dumb question, but is elbows best, or would it be ok to use rotini for example?
Girl, they literally was fighting over the last bit of mac and cheese lol. And i’m now officially in charge of mac at get togethers 🤣. Thank you for this recipe! Made it last night. My first time making mac and cheese and it was a hit!
😂😂😂this made me smile ! Happy Thanksgiving and congratulations on your first Mac n cheese 🧀- it def won’t be your last lol your family won’t allow it 😂❤️
I like Mac and cheese with a roux and béchamel but I feel like there’s potential for it to go wrong. So a good baked Mac and cheese just throwing everything in at once is the best
Ard imma give this a try Wednesday night, I'll let you know if I get tossed out of the house. I always make the cheese sauce way but I'm going to try this and my family doesn't play about the mac n cheese.
Lol I wanna make this as well cause my man favorite dish is Mac N Cheese and I cannot mess this up or him and his family gonna be tossing me out 🤣 I hadn't made it for him since we moved in together but I'm ready but nervous
My favorite kind NO ROUX please lol. It makes the Mac too creamy for me, I like mine thick like a slice a cake but moist. I was going to try with evaporated milk because that’s what I have? Could that work too?
Hi there! If i want to maybe make this tm, the day b4 thanksgiving is possible. Should i go ahead and fully cook it tm or just put it all together and wait until the next day to bake it? If you say to fully cook the day before please tell me how to heat it up the day of. Thank you! Also wondering if you put everything together while the noodles are still hot?
@TheGlamKitchen so just to confirm when the noodles are hot go ahead and add everything, and put it in the dish but don't bake it until tm? And the noodles won't get soggy from sitting in the cream?
@@TheGlamKitchenI just really want to make sure it won't get soggy or make it any less delicious. Waiting for your confirmation lol. Last year I messed up by cooking the noodles the day before and putting them into the fridge on their own. And the next day trying to put it together lol
Literally re doing my Mac n cheese with this recipe because the one I followed with hella cheese and roux turned out too cheesy nasty!!! Luckily I still have enough ingredients to re do it and following this much simpler recipe and I can tell it’s gonna be way better because I actually see the r noodles haha
I can't stand roux mac and cheese, with 6 different cheeses, I personally make mines similar to yours, I don't use sour cream. Everybody loves it!! Simple is the best way.
yes i agree, i thought it was just me that hates my mac and cheese that way haha. all those cheeses makes it salty. this recipe is way simpler and looks yummy ❤️
Hi, I wouldn’t skip the eggs. I’ve never made it without eggs so I don’t want you not being pleased with the outcome. I would rather you find a recipe for Mac that doesn’t have eggs❤️
Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine lol ☀️ ❤️ thanks for sharing your thoughts on this recipe Mikey- I appreciate all comments even the ones that tell me what not to do with the ingredients that I purchased 😊 this recipe is delicious and everything but a sloppy mess to me - but I’m sure you can find hundreds of other recipes that don’t have butter or heavy cream - have a beautiful day and maybe google non southern or soul food style Mac n cheese as an idea for you ❤️
@@wanda01141 Oil in the water is wrong (it does nothing) and pouring a stick of butter on the noodles does nothing but make the dish dripping with grease. Using eggs instead of a roux works fine, but you will notice the egg in the dish. At least you won't have a flour taste. But please, please don't use anything thicker than half and half for your liquid!

🎉🎉❤️
Wow. This was so easy yet so good. Thanks for such an easy recipe, I likely will make it once a month for awhile.
This made me smile! You are so welcome ! I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Your baked Mac and cheese is now the best thing I know how to make. :))) @@TheGlamKitchen
Awwww 🎊🎊 very happy to hear that !
Ive been trying to find a recipe without 3lbs of cheese lol. Thank you! You cut the cheese by a lb and it still looks delicious
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for posting this. I can't stand Mac n cheese made with a roux. It's always too gritty and gummy.
You’re welcome!❤️
I always a butter flour roux but i love checking out different recipes but mine don't turn out gritty though if it is on other people's their probably not adding enough butter . but recipe looks great
Right!
Well who made that dish for you? Because if it tasted like that you should have spit it out or threw it in garage!
Hey new here. I most definitely have to try this recipe out it looks really delicious 😋. Thanks for sharing.
Hey hey and welcome !❤️ you’re welcome and let me know how you like it
Yes girl my kind of of Mac no rou or flour
🙌🏿❤️
Out of ALL the Mac and Cheese videos I've seen, this comes closest to how I make mine. It looks delicious 😋. I'm gonna try the sprinkle of onion powder 👍🏾. Thank you
Thank you so much and yes try it and let me know what you think !❤️
@@TheGlamKitchen ... I definitely will 👍🏾
Great recipe!
*Cooking tip* if you're a fan of thick Mac and cheese like me, let the Mac and cheese "set" covered with foil to allow the Mac and cheese to thicken . Ideal for recipes with no roux
You let it sit before or after cooking you mean?
@@lns4lifeafter! Maybe about 20/30 min. It was still be cheesy just not so runny.
Only add oil to the boiling water if you do not want the sauce to stick to the noodles.
I’m going to try this recipe. Lovely. 👋🏻🧑🦳😊🍁💐
Let me know how it comes out for you 🎊❤️
You add black pepper! 👏👏
🥰❤️
Making this tonight. This seems like the easiest and simplest way to make creamy mac without making a rue or using too many cheeses.
Let me know how it comes out for you 🤗❤️
@@TheGlamKitchen OMG! It came out perfectly. Even when I was adding the butter and eggs I could see the difference in the texture and in the consistency. Which I’ve been struggling with making it too cheesy and chewy. I did add a little of Smoked Gouda though.
I am soooo happy to hear that !! And Gouda is such a bomb cheese 🧀, glad you enjoyed it !❤️
First time being assigned to make Mac n cheese on thanksgiving, wish me luck!
You got this !❤️
@@TheGlamKitchen it was a hit! Everyone loved it! 🙌🏾
Ayeee! So happy to hear that !❤️
Yasss… That’s what I’m talking about ❣️🤤
🙌🏿❤️ thank you
I’m new ! 👋 I came to see how to make your Mac n cheese 🥰 looks yummy 🤤 Heavy whip really makes everything good 👍
Hi 👋🏿 and welcome 🤗 thank you 😊
haven’t tried this recipe yet but i’ll def be doing so very soon.. idk maybe im weird but im just not a fan of using 6 diff cheeses in my Mac and cheese lol. it’s too salty! your recipe is simple and to the point 👌🏾💕
Thank you so much and agreed lol - let me know how it came out for you when you make it . Thanks for watching ❤️
@@TheGlamKitchen will do💕
Do it!!!!!
Thank you 🎊❤️
This is how we make Mac and cheese in the Caribbean when I was growing up . No roux lol
Yassss❤️
If I am making this in a cast iron skillet, should I lower the temp and cooking time? Thanks.
Hi, yes I would lower the temp to 350
i think i shed a tear when i saw the preview, it looks so delicious 😂 maybe a dumb question, but is elbows best, or would it be ok to use rotini for example?
I’m so sorry I’m just reading the comments - elbow is best but you could freestyle with another noodle ❤️
Girl, they literally was fighting over the last bit of mac and cheese lol. And i’m now officially in charge of mac at get togethers 🤣. Thank you for this recipe! Made it last night. My first time making mac and cheese and it was a hit!
😂😂😂this made me smile ! Happy Thanksgiving and congratulations on your first Mac n cheese 🧀- it def won’t be your last lol your family won’t allow it 😂❤️
@@TheGlamKitchen Lol Happy Thanksgiving to you too! 🍁 🦃 ❤️
I like Mac and cheese with a roux and béchamel but I feel like there’s potential for it to go wrong. So a good baked Mac and cheese just throwing everything in at once is the best
Will this get the same result if I shred my own cheese or you suggest the bag cheese for this recipe.
Shredding your own cheese always melts better but you can definitely use bag cheese ❤️
Ard imma give this a try Wednesday night, I'll let you know if I get tossed out of the house. I always make the cheese sauce way but I'm going to try this and my family doesn't play about the mac n cheese.
Lol I wanna make this as well cause my man favorite dish is Mac N Cheese and I cannot mess this up or him and his family gonna be tossing me out 🤣 I hadn't made it for him since we moved in together but I'm ready but nervous
Let me know how it turns out for you !❤️
How did it go?! 😂
My favorite kind NO ROUX please lol. It makes the Mac too creamy for me, I like mine thick like a slice a cake but moist.
I was going to try with evaporated milk because that’s what I have? Could that work too?
🙌🏿❤️
What size baking pan is this
Sorry for the delay 9 X 12
Hi there! If i want to maybe make this tm, the day b4 thanksgiving is possible. Should i go ahead and fully cook it tm or just put it all together and wait until the next day to bake it? If you say to fully cook the day before please tell me how to heat it up the day of. Thank you!
Also wondering if you put everything together while the noodles are still hot?
Hi, yes you could premake it then bake it tomorrow. Also, yes the noodles were hot when I put everything together ❤️
@TheGlamKitchen so just to confirm when the noodles are hot go ahead and add everything, and put it in the dish but don't bake it until tm?
And the noodles won't get soggy from sitting in the cream?
@@TheGlamKitchenI just really want to make sure it won't get soggy or make it any less delicious. Waiting for your confirmation lol. Last year I messed up by cooking the noodles the day before and putting them into the fridge on their own. And the next day trying to put it together lol
@lns4life yes. I always make mine as soon as I assemble it, but you should be fine to wait to bake it until the next day if needed
@TheGlamKitchen what do you think bout me baking it today and reheating the whole tray in the oven tm?
Is this a ceramic baking dish? Where did you purchase?
Sorry for the delay - I purchased it from Homegoods ❤️
This will fit in a tin pan?
Hi, yes - I use 2 small tin pans ❤️
Literally re doing my Mac n cheese with this recipe because the one I followed with hella cheese and roux turned out too cheesy nasty!!!

Thank you, I needed this. I can actually taste the flour in Mac and cheese. Yuck, it never tastes cooked.
You are so welcome!
O
can we skip the eggs ?
Hi, I wouldn’t skip the eggs. I’ve never made it without eggs so I don’t want you not being pleased with the outcome. I would rather you find a recipe for Mac that doesn’t have eggs❤️
I’ve seen the recipes with the egg gives the Mac and cheese I’m used to while the ones without the egg looks likes too soupy and watery
Agreed , def noticed that too 🙌🏿
I’m making this today! I thought it was just me. I tried making that roux Mac & cheese and it was not it! Gritty! 🤮
Let me know how you like it !❤️
@@TheGlamKitchen just got done and it’s delicious!! Normally I layer the ingredients, but it’s much better your way…mixing it all together. Thank you!
@LisaSmith-zj3vh yayyyy so happy you enjoyed it !❤️
well no more roux for me
🎉🎉❤️
Adding an unnecessary stick of butter and using heavy cream instead of whole milk means that this dish will be a greasy, sloppy mess.
Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine lol ☀️ ❤️ thanks for sharing your thoughts on this recipe Mikey- I appreciate all comments even the ones that tell me what not to do with the ingredients that I purchased 😊 this recipe is delicious and everything but a sloppy mess to me - but I’m sure you can find hundreds of other recipes that don’t have butter or heavy cream - have a beautiful day and maybe google non southern or soul food style Mac n cheese as an idea for you ❤️
I have to say as far as the butter I hardly use butter cause it can make mac really greasy but this looks good.
@@wanda01141 Oil in the water is wrong (it does nothing) and pouring a stick of butter on the noodles does nothing but make the dish dripping with grease. Using eggs instead of a roux works fine, but you will notice the egg in the dish. At least you won't have a flour taste.

What can I use instead of the half and half. I only have the heavy cream? I have evaporated milk and 2 % @TheGlamKitchen
You can use all heavy cream if needed ❤️
Thank you❤
