Omg!!!! This recipe is the bomb! My aunties said that my Mac and cheese was the best they ever had and now I’m in charge of Mac and cheese at all family events! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

When I was a firefighter/paramedic over in West St. Augustine (King Street Elite!), we were invited to a HUGE family reunion over at the park across the street from the firehouse. Big Mama Sparrow made the Potato Salad and the Mac and Cheese and a Peach Cobbler that I swear to God above was so good, I’d be proud to get the Diabetes that comes after eating that good for years on end. My daddy was a country boy and he raised me on proper cooking. I thought… That party was almost 12 years ago and I still think about that day every time I drive by Calvin Peete Park. Loved me that entire neighborhood.

Early on my cooking journey, I came across this channel, and this was one of the first recipes I tried. Talk about me getting a big head because it came out so well on my first try! I have been a subscriber ever since and my family has been so happy!

I made this last week for thanksgiving baby when I tell you everybody loved it. I was so happy cause this the first time I made macaroni and it was delicious. Usually my boyfriend complains about my macaroni but he was quiet about this one. I didn't use velvetto cheese and I forgot to add the provolone but it was still perfect. Thank you so much for this recipe. I will be making this again

Hey Sir! Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.

[@meaself]

Wow! My mother-in-law was a magnificent Southern cook! Everything she made was heavenly and she did it with ease. All I could remember about her mac and cheese was that she used eggs in the recipe...and most recipes I searched for did not use eggs. Oh, how I wish I had paid attention to how she did things, but I was young and had no interest then. And then I find your recipe! YES! I love all the tips also! And a pan that doesn't need clean up afterwards! Yes to that too. Thank you so much. I shall make it as soon as possible. Soul Food Sunday needs to stay...have a wonderful day!

[@SoulFoodCooking]

I am so happy I found your channel. I had insomnia all night and I was so grateful because that's why I ended up finding your videos. First of all, you not only make the most delicious looking food I've seen, you have the greatest personality and you're so cute and sweet and I really enjoyed watching you. In fact I'm watching you want you on my TV as we speak as well as listening to my phone for your Mac and cheese recipe. I am not a very good cook and I'll just be honest. I'm 47 and was a vegetarian most of my life. My mouth is watering as I watch all your wonderful food and I'm going to surprise him with this Mac and cheese. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm going to binge watch them until thanksgiving. Much love.

[@SoulFoodCooking]

Thanks for the best comment ever :-)

😋😋 Lord have mercy

[@josephperry1523]

Thank you Soul Food Cooking for this amazing recipe. It's the only one I make. What I like the most is you don't have to make a rue as with an electric stove it can burn. Plus your recipe still tastes great left over. I was told by a friend it is top 3 they ever had.

[@SoulFoodCooking]

This is great to hear. Thanks!!

[@Bunny-mw2lo]

Thank you Queen!

[@bempong]

Yes. This is perfect. When putting it in oven, middle rack or bottom rack?

[@SoulFoodCooking]

I prefer the middle rack.

[@bempong]

@@SoulFoodCooking Thank you.

[@bempong]

@@SoulFoodCooking One more question. I am making this a day before Thanksgiving. After I make it, would it be better to put in refrigerator until the next day or leave it out at room temperature until the next day?

[@SoulFoodCooking]

You can place it it the refrigerator however it can be difficult to reheat without it drying out. You may want to make it the day before and bake it on thanksgiving.

[@juanitagaston6050]

💘 it keep it up with soul food cooking

[@victoriabruce4938]

Love the way you cook your Mac a cheese. Looks so good. This is way I do mines. Only one question! I notice you didn’t cover yours when in the oven. I always covered mines. Not covering does it dry it out? Interesting!

[@sunzahraliburdbanks9299]

This looks amazing! 😍😍😍Is whole milk a good alternative; or is evaporated milk necessary?!

[@SoulFoodCooking]

Either will work just fine. Thanks for watching!!!

[@Lamonicapettitt]

What about green bean casserole I’m trying to learn before thanksgiving please HELP!

[@SoulFoodCooking]

It's not my favorite dish but I do have a video recipe :-)

[@purplerain9629]

Looks delicious! How many servings will this recipe yield?

[@SoulFoodCooking]

That's a tough question because it depends on serving size. I would say 8-10. I often make 2 pans. Tips: never use shredded cheese and cut into cubes as shown. Thanks for watching!!!

[@purplerain9629]

@@SoulFoodCookingthank you so much for that

[@purplerain9629]

I making this for an event tomorrow. Thank you for sharing!

[@EricsWormPlayground]

Question for you: would shredding the cheese instead of cubing it help it melt even better? I’ve seen you mention to not use shredded, guessing you mean to not buy shredded cheese bags. Thanks!!

[@SoulFoodCooking]

Hello! Shredded cheese does not work well in this recipe. One of the secrets of this recipe is to use cubes. This results in amazing flavor distribution. Thanks for watching!!

[@EricsWormPlayground]

@@SoulFoodCooking sounds good! Much appreciated, going to give it a try this week. Your presentation style is great! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Now that's the only way to make Mac and cheese,

[@lakishathomas9257]

What should the oven be on?

[@bempong]

If I prep this 2 days before baking, would that change the baking time?

[@SoulFoodCooking]

It will be the same. I advise adding the egg/milk at the time of baking. Thanks for watching!!!

[@bempong]

@@SoulFoodCooking Thanks for replying. Last question lol. If I make it 2 days in advance and fully cook and refrigerate, it should still be good? The weather here is bad and we have to travel tomorrow so I am debating on making it today for Sunday. Thanks for always giving feedback.

[@bempong]

Nevermind. You answered this for me in a few posts ago. Thanks.

[@WinterDrego]

every comment made this, my food stamps can't even cover all the cheeses but i can afford the shredded great value cheese

[@TR-tp4et]

Is the butter salted or unsalted ?

[@SoulFoodCooking]

Either will work in this recipe. Thanks for watching!!!

[@curlthang7819]

Hello I have a question. I followed the recipe but I think I used too much cheese.. When you say 8 ounces, is that the entire block or one cup of shredded block? Thank you for the video.

[@SoulFoodCooking]

Great question. It is the dry weight of the cheese. BTW shredded cheese will not work in this recipe. Thanks for watching!

[@GhettoLawyer773]

I didn’t see the provolone cheese added

[@bempong]

I noticed that your other video had oil but this video does not include oil. Is oil not really needed?
