How to Make Macaroni and Cheese

[@autumnrose1511]

I specifically remember my dad refusing to teach me how to make Mac and Cheese when I was a kid and then criticized me when I tried, so I didn’t learn until I was living on my own (about 19). I really appreciate you taking the time to teach simple things like this for kids who may have had similar experiences!

dad, you’re the best. such a positive role model 🤩.

Thanks Chelsey 🙏🏻

[@crazypyp5871]

I dunno why, but I cried at the dad joke. Like legit teared up. Your videos always give such a positive energy to the internet and many others who look up to you as a father figure no matter your age so thank you for that. I really appreciate it.

[@Munto-Z]

You're timing couldn't have been any more perfect, I was just wondering what to eat.

[@BiIboSwaggins]

Hey, I actually really appreciate the cooking stuff. I grew up without a father and a mother that had schizophrenia. And cooking is a thing I still struggle with a lot, I can cook food so that they are edible, but rarely actually taste good. Which is why I've always disliked doing so, a lot of work for something that didn't taste that great, so take out is ordered too frequently. It's easy but expensive. So thank you, for the video's! They are actually so so helpful.

[@DadhowdoI]

Glad to help 🙏🏻

Your videos are the best! my son has autism and some children with autism tend to learn better with the video modeling. So these are perfect! My son lost his dad 2 years ago.These are really going to help him.

I've been subscribed to your channel for a while, but I haven't watched a single clip so far because it makes me cry. I didn't have a father by my side and it hurts. I wanted him to teach me all these things. You are great for doing this!!! God bless you

[@May_mae111]

My brother has watched your videos for a while and I found you channel and it just makes me so happy because I never really had a dad, thank you!

I never grew up with my father he’s in jail for things he did so I find this helpful! Especially since my mom is gone now too… I have to live with my aunt and uncle but I always like to track down a video of you so I can feel comfortable again

[@lonewolf3681]

Hey man im just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for all this yt videos ! Im 16 now and my dad died in 2017 R.i.p. Just wanted to thank you youre the best❤❤

[@karlakolumna3101]

This is beautiful. And it makes me cry. I never really had a mom, now I have a little girl, who doesn't have a dad. He left when she was 6 months old, broke her heart back then and I remained alone, so this woulf not happen to her again. It is so hard to try and model better when you never had an example. Our lives are good, I am very blessed and thankful for it. But what you do here is pure love, thank you so much.

[@hannahrhodes6468]

“A college student who hasn’t really cooked before” Thank you for including someone like me in the video! I’ll definitely be trying this especially since I love both of those things 💜

[@Windsofchange89]

I've watched many of your videos. This is the 1st I've been compelled to comment on. Your laid back, yet very confident approach is calming. Something so easily done, making Mac and cheese.. yet you speak to your audience with nothing but warmth and genuine direction. You're doing a very cool thing with this social media platform. Appreciate your effort and consistency.

[@DadhowdoI]

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement 🙏🏻

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

Just love love love this video.....I called my son at his group home and had him search it out on his tablet, and when he found it, I told him to go right now to his staff and have them watch it with you and then go get what you need to make it. I told him a box of macaroni, and hot dogs. The rest will be at the house. I kept it simple. I would tell him other things to add like broccoli or the tomato comment I saw here....but that would be too much for him to handle. Anyways, Dad you are off the charts again. I agree with another commenter 5 STARS

[@NoNo-ou1yt]

My mom is emotionally abusive and the minute I moved in with her my dad stopped talking to me and it’s now been almost four years, without these videos idk how I’d be alive

[@oireal7261]

As an Irishman, I've always wondered how it's made, and here you are explaining it! Cheers!

[@seth6691]

Please watch some more recipes, I hope you know that this is the most baseline cheap, bland version of Mac n cheese. I mean at least he put a little extra cheese on it, but damn no heavy cream, good butter, real cheddar, Gouda, maybe some mozzarella, and then the best is to bake it after. Even then if you want a really simple and easy version, velveeta combined with some other cheeses you can buy, mixed in with whole milk makes an amazing sauce. Just know that you can make Mac and cheese insanely better than this. I know this video is intended for simple easy Mac, but the world of good Mac is amazing

[@tearise2964]

I never thought I’d get this close to crying from someone making Mac and cheese, you are the most wholesome person I’ve seen on this platform and an absolute legend, keep up ur incredible personality and channel. You’ve genuinely made my, and most likely millions of other kids days

[@thomas.88309]

Hey man i just wanna say thank u for most of the stuff u posted here. My parents divorced when i was 2, im 16 now and havent seen my dad in 8 years, so i never really had a “father figure” so some of these videos help me alot. Thanks!!

[@Ivanovitch2885]

The oil also prevents boil over. Plain water with pasta will always make a froth that gets down in your stove and makes a mess. Olive oil or Canola oil with do just fine. Like Dad, I almost always throw in some extras to fill out frozen or boxed meals. A can of vegetables, extra spices (which can be cheap), or even frozen extras like mushrooms or broccoli can make a side item into a full meal. Vegetables are important.

[@sandeep22cc22]

yes please make this into a cooking series!!!

[@DeadNotSleeping789]

Ramen next? 🤔

[@Princellachow]

Thank god for instructions, my parents never taught me anything about cooking or life. At least Mac and cheese has instructions on a box. Even better that this man made a video with the little tips you only learn when you mess up the boxed instructions. ☺️ thanks dad! Never thought of putting real cheese on top! You know what else would be good in it? Sun dried tomatoes with those olives!

[@huskylover816]

This is so comforting. I grew up with a single mom who worked full time. I had to figure all this out on my own. And as the first time I made pasta was when I was 9, I need to finally learn how to do it right haha.

Hey man I didn't have a father figure growing up and I think it's amazing that you're helping other people. :)

[@Playbahnosh]

For all us non-americans who don't have boxed mac&cheese in the store, you can achieve the same result by buying just dry spaghetti/macaroni and a piece of basically any kind of hard cheese. You fry the hotdogs a bit, then just break the dry pasta into smaller pieces (sorry Italians) and cook them like in the video. Pour off the water then grate the whatever cheese you got and mix everything together on low heat, put a lid on it, turn off the cooker and just let it sit for a while. Cheap, simple, done in a few minutes and an excellent dinner for tired evenings.

[@chancefisher47]

Hey Dad, I just wanna say thank you for everything you do! You've helped me without even realizing it by teaching me things my dad wasn't around to do! I was wondering if you could do a video on car fuses and sparkplugs please?

I usually make it home made, but since it's my favorite food and I love your videos I had to drop in :D Making this for breakfast xD (breakfast to me, technically lunch) College student hack I discovered in high school: If you don't have a stove, microwave the noodles in water for 9-12 minutes and they cook al dente

[@dutchik5107]

Or get a kettle. Preferably one that you can wash out. Pooring boiling water over things like frozen pees twice also works then cover and let it do its thing.

[@FoxFireNaruto]

That's the way I first made it on my own. They used to have the instructions for doing that on the box but got rid of it for some reason. Which sucks cause it's kinda safer to not be messing with boiling stuff and draining it as a kid. You do need a bigger bowl than you think though.

[@Sc0nv0y]

Topic idea, one I realize I've never used before came to mind. Fire extinguisher use. I remember my family always showing us kids where it was in the house but if I had to use it I hope those instructions on the can are good! Great channel by the way!

I know a few people who NEED this video… I dont have the heart to tell them, i just hope they discover this themselves, because there’s nothing manly about the microwaveable KD cups… Simple stuff like this separates boys from men, and the world only gets deeper and harsher from there. You learn to wipe your own bum, and you learn to boil water, etc. This video is going to be a life changer for alot of people. Turn that negative to a positive. From the ground up.
