Why did you post the recipe on the comment section? not a huge fan of this version anyway. it's a little unorthodox and please no onions in my Mac and Cheese. yuck! Don't care for Jamie's secret ingredients. Mac and cheese wasn't meant to be fucked with too much that is the beauty of what is mac and cheese!

My Favorite Mac & Cheese... I keep searching this video to remind me of proportions, so I finally wrote it down to share the recipe with family (in US measurements) - thought I'd share it with you too! Jamie Oliver’s Ultimate Mac & Cheese 3 Onions 2T Butter 3T All-Purpose Flour 4C Milk 1T English Mustard 1T Mango Chutney 3 Swigs Worchester Sauce 1lb Macaroni Pasta 4oz. Fresh-grated Cheddar Cheese 4oz. Fresh-grated Gruyere or Raclette Cheese 2oz. Fresh-grated Parmesan Cheese Topping - Bacon Pangritata 3-4 Strips of bacon chopped to cook crumbled 2+ Finely Chopped Cloves of Garlic 2+ Sprigs of Fresh Thyme ~2C Unseasoned Bread crumbs Preheat oven to 400º F. Thinly slice onions and melt butter in a pan. Add onions and a dash of salt to melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally on med-high to caramelize - will take 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Once onions have caramelized, sprinkle 3 T flour over the onion butter mixture and stir to combine: 1-2 minutes. Slowly add milk a little at a time while stirring to keep lumps from forming. Simmer until “silky and gorgeous.” While the sauce is thickening half-cook the macaroni in boiling water for 5 min. (pasta will “suck up the flavor” and finish cooking in the oven). Reserve a cup or so of starchy pasta water. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in Mustard and Worchester sauce. Add grated cheese (leaving some to sprinkle on top), stir until melted, then add undercooked pasta and pasta water as needed for an “oozy, silky” saucy consistency. Pour mixture into a casserole dish, top with reserved cheese, and pop in the preheated oven for about 20-30 min. Topping: Crisp bacon in a pan, add garlic and fresh herbs until fragrant, toss in breadcrumbs and stir until golden and crispy. Remove the pasta dish from the oven, top it with the Bacon Pangritata, and then do the Jamie spoon dance - because it is THAT delicious.

[@Sedh8919]

Biggest key to the roux do not add cheese to roux while on d heat don’t let it boil. Of all the great videos on KZbin for Mac n cheese, this the only one I found gives this important tip, to avoid the cheese sauce curdling and grainy in the oven , also use grated cheese not the bag cheese. Used another recipe but I did the onions like Jaime! 30 mins @ 350 cover with foil bang! Perfect!! 👨🏾‍🍳
