Hi Mary, I think I've mentioned previously that my daughter and I typically make all of your recipes that you film. it's a whole thing we do whilst watching you make your recipe! This one is going to be made tonight: We just purchased all the ingredients and heading home now! It wasn't easy finding the smoked cheddar and you're right about the elbow macaroni noodles being hard to find! Thank you Mary! These are some of our favorite videos that you make. We love all of them 💜 I hope you have a great family reunion and hopefully the rain will hold off. Take care. Also, Awesome apron 😆 Had to return to say we made it and it’s delicious! We’re looking forward to eating it again tomorrow!

[@akita3402]

Hey Mary! I hope you get to see this comment - I just wanted to let you know that you've single handedly helped me so much with my ED. I've been listening to your baking vids while cooking and it helps me feel okay with making food 🥰 I've methodically watched EVERY vid now (and rewatching haha) so I'm always looking forward to a new one to cook my dinner to. It's a lovely ritual that's helped me actually look forward to food prep. Much love, you lovely lady 💐🌈💝

[@WhisperSeashore]

Hang in there, friend! I dealt with EDs for ten years and have been in recovery for 5 and it’s insane how much my relationship to food/exercise/embodiment has changed. I never would’ve believed it. ASMR has been a game changer for me too. Don’t give up-you deserve peace and happiness! 💖💕🙌🏼

[@callmeb_]

Congrats on how far you have come! May I recommend Oceans ASMR as well? She has eat with me videos where she'll eat and encourage you as you go.

[@akita3402]

@@WhisperSeashore Thank you, that's wonderful to hear. I often think about how it seems like I'll have this chronic illness in the back of my mind for the rest of my life... I'm hoping I can be at qualms with food and body stuff eventually though! Sending u good vibes😸 💝❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@Blondzilla77]

Oh my gosh, I am not making light of what you said but read that and thought the ED you were referring to was "Erectile Disfunction"! It took me a minute to realize I was wayyyy off. I blame all the ED/Erectile Disfunction commercials.

[@lauram1875]

@@Blondzilla77 I was thinking that too!

[@daisydaisy0121]

I am a mac and cheese freak and will TOTALLY be making this thank you Mary! Edit: I made it tonight with some oven fried chicken! It was so good! the smoked cheese topping gives it a dual flavor and it is very interesting!😋 my favorite part was the creamy bottom layer. 😋You could totally skip the smoked cheese if you couldn’t buy it; it would still be a rocking mac & cheese.

[@bjoink-yh4hr]

im a lidl worker and as soon as you held up the cheese i was like "LIDL CHEESE!!!" and then when you held up the heavy whipping cream i was again like "LIDL HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM!!!" idk why i get so excited every time you mention lidl i just love you and my job lol

[@TheChibiAerith]

18:17 wow that was amazingly tingly! The hand movement combined with your calming voice is the best. Thanks Mary for the lovely video!

[@leahwilson8982]

Yesss

[@asmrcookinglists]

Mac and cheese is so good and the soft-spoken narration this time was so on-point. Especially while you were stirring the macaroni and just talking.

[@eringarceau3752]

Agree!!

[@LullingLisaASMR]

Mmm I love smoked cheeses! That smoked cheddar looks incredible 🤩

[@BeautyMonster1000]

Smoked cheese is amazing! I’m a fan of smoked Gouda myself. Also, I love putting a little bit of nutmeg in my Mac and cheese. The tiniest bit. It’s so good! I may have to try this recipe, even though I do already have my own that I like to make. I’m not against trying other recipes, so maybe I will. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😌

[@JazzyFizzleee]

Mary, you’ve got to try doing a roux sauce next 😃 No eggs, no milk. Just heavy whipping cream, cheese and seasonings heated on the stove top and then bake like you did here. It’s amazzzinnngggg!!!

[@jennifermoss173]

Yes I agree!!!!

[@leahwilson8982]

😋 mmmmm

[@mango7479]

I LOVE THIS. If you don't mind I would love more recipe cooking asmr videos. You're such a lovable character. 😭😭 this is so wholesome.

@@asmrcookinglists your playlist looks good so I’m subscribing instead of just bumming off of it! Do you plan to make other playlists or ones for certain types of cooking or?

[@kouenki_5720]

I just wanted to tell you that Instagram has given me an Amazon ad for those lovely bowls you have, I thought of you the first time I saw it and seriously considered purchasing them! Love your videos!

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

Oh thank you!

[@Thisispurerandomness]

The crossover I didn’t know I needed! I looove all of your baking videos and Divas Can Cook has been one of my favorite cooking channels/blogs for years. This mac and cheese is a family favorite at Thanksgiving! Your asmr/baking videos never miss and neither do her recipes. Enjoy, Ms. Mary! I’m glad you enjoyed your Mac and cheese- i hope it blew everyone away!!

I've spent my whole life eating Velveeta Cheese. Sure it's probably taken 5 years off my life, but honey it was worth it 🧀❤️

In bed, had a bunch of notifications, said, “Please, God, let there be a Mary cooking video.” Prayers answered. Thank you.

At the 30:47 mark, we have achieved culinary heaven. Thanks for sharing this comfort classic.

The dumping of the noodles into the water pot sounded so nice!

You’re so lovely and make me feel so comfy and at home. Love how you told us foreigners the background of mac and cheese ❤️

I don’t usually watch your videos for ASMR but instead for entertainment. But the stirring sounds are SO tingly. I love it. ❤️

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

😊 thank you

[@cocar1486]

This is so soothing 😌 my comfort food and comfort sounds. Listening to the slotted spoon move through the boiling water and gently glide against the pot combined with your soft spoken is perfection! 🥰 I'm sure this is delish

Every southern cook should have a mac n cheese recipe in their arsenal.

[@jensmith5994]

28:45 unexpected National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation reference :)

[@trish247]

Your lovely nested mixing bowls remind me of the inside view of a jaw breaker…I loved those things as a kid!!! Velvetta freaks me out, but I’d definitely try it in Mac and cheese. My arteries are hardening just watching the ingredients go in the bowl. No doubt it’s delicious; I’ll definitely have to give it a try!

[@bluebutterfly244]

The only thing I fear about the baking thing is the smoke alarm because it always goes off when I try and bake anything. I might risk it for this though! It looks amazing!

[@hellolexi]

you might need to deep clean the bottom, there might be some small debris or buildup. have you tried using the self clean button on the oven ?

[@bluebutterfly244]

@@hellolexi hi i think if i did that the alarm would go off again lol

[@hughs591]

That looks a lovely version of Macaroni Cheese, I bet it's delicious. We'll try and make it here but some of the cheeses I've never seen in the UK. And, as for you, the "elbow" Macaroni is a rarity. NB, please don't worry about how Lidl is said, it's quite extraordinary that people apparently pick up on this and, anyway, whatever happened to ♬ You say tomayto and I say tomato . . . oh let's call the whole thing off!

[@asmrcookinglists]

If you have the small shell pasta there, that works well for mac and cheese. That's what I use most of the time.

[@kelseyfarmer1473]

I just had VSG surgery 3 weeks ago, so I can’t eat this. But I think I’m going to make it for my husband, and I can live vicariously through the smell. Looks delicious.

I always giggle when I hear you say swear words or wear them on your apron like today and your sarcasm because you are such a sweet soft spoken southern lady 😂 I love it!!!

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

LOL, don't watch my bloopers videos or watch my vlog channel!

Secondly, this recipe is bomb for mac n'cheese. I wish I could get Velveeta and Colby Jack here. We have some similar products but it's not the same. (I was raised in TN, live now in Oz.)

[@richardsigman3776]

Ha! “Nobody’s died of it,………..yet!” Love that, Mary! It’s the mark of a good recipe. And………” it don’t matter how you get there, it will still turn out all right!” Ok advice for a recipe, not good advice if you want to get to heaven. 😏 Ahhhhh! Stop caressing the onion powder, this is supposed to be a G rated video! Love all you do Mary! Joy S. (not Richard) from Northern Indiana

[@defaultuser1447]

As a kid I grew up on Velveeta, but I haven't had it in decades now. My mother made mac and cheese with it, and toasted cheese sandwiches.

[@niamhoregan1587]

Ohhh eggs in mac and cheese I've never tried that before!! I'm in Ireland so make it differently mainly because we can't get the same ingredients but I'm going to try make this and see how close I can get!!

[@melissalemasters1021]

Just made this Mac and cheese tonight and even my finicky granddaughters asked for seconds! It was a big hit 😊. We also tried the fiestadas over the weekend and they were delicious!! Thanks Mary for putting me to sleep and feeding me well lol

[@lilylittlelamb]

This looks so delicious I’m going to have to try it! I’m an Australian, so I’m already googling what our equivalent of Valveeta is, so I can make this 😂

[@brad.m1997]

Fellow Aussie here, IGA's and most Coles outlets actually have the Kraft Velveeta or a block of 'fondue cheese' which is basically the same taste just a lighter colour haha - Look around the Philly Cheese

[@lilylittlelamb]

@@brad.m1997 ooh thank you!!

Update: I made this tonight for my family! All four of us loved it, and couldn’t agree with you more Mary. Best Mac & Cheese we’ve ever had!

Yay! A cooking video…my fave ☺️. Monique (Divas Can Cook) has the BEST recipes! I have made so many of them over the years ❤️

[@emilym1280]

I’m in the UK, and this is so much easier than the way my husband and I make Mac and cheese! We do the whole roux sauce thing, so it can be a bit tricky if it decides to go lumpy. Plus I’m gluten free, so makes the sauce even more finicky 😂 Think we’ll be trying this method now!

[@ScreechOwl17]

I think I'm going to make this to take to my mom. Mac and cheese casserole is one of her favorites. Thanks for reminding me with your lovely video 😁

[@matthewcoleo]

I wonder how it would be with mascarpone or cream cheese added in somehow. Probably would have to cook it into the cheese sauce first but that’s my secret to “doctorin’ up” my Kraft mac n’ cheese. I dump a tub of mascarpone (from Aldi) in there and mix it up at the end it makes it soooo good and creamy! If it weren’t for the blue box you’d almost think it was fancy🤣this looks yummy Mary! Truly a North Carolina style mac n’ cheese! Bring me a plate up to Greenville?🤣❤️

[@daisylove9452]

You’re like the Bob Ross of cooking 🥺❤️. Soo gonna try this recipe after all that encouragement!!!

There is nothing better than homemade mac and cheese! Mmmm the crispy melty top layer. The more mac and cheese the better. I would’ve kept it for myself. 🥰

[@kcsunshine7408]

Nice job Mary! gonna have to find some smoked cheddar. try cooking the cheese n milk first so the Velveeta blocks melt before adding to your noodles but add your eggs after the cheese cools so they don't scramble. hope you don't get mad at me adding a tip, been watching for 4 years or so.

Oh man talk about comfort food, gonna try it Thank you Mary!

I make mine the same way except I don't use Velveeta and I mix butter sour cream and Seasonings into the noodles first then the cheese then put it in the pan and pour the milk heavy cream and egg mixture on top then more cheese then paprika
