Mac & Cheese

[@k5sueh]

Well done Kay just remember to keep stirring whilst adding the milk and turn the heat down you don’t need to have the butter boiling just melt it, add the flour then slowly add the milk then bring to a slow simmer. Add the cheese and the pasta then you can add more cheese before you put it in the oven. Nice with some garlic bread 😊 thumbs up!

[@emmasweeney7548]

Maybe a whisk would be better than a wooden spoon next time too 😊

[@korzer]

It's actually important to heat the butter to boiling point and cook the roux before adding the milk this removes the floury taste

[@keyakaabag6017]

Good tip is to keep removing the pan from the heat while adding the flour and then the milk. Works for me anyway 🥰

Do you know what Kay, this is the best video I’ve seen since you started KZbin in 2015. You did bloody well with that recipe and I’d eat that it looks really nice. GOOD ON YOU for learning how to do the camera work by yourself. What an inspiration, a good cook and now a good camera worker. Onwards and upwards for this channel I reckon! All the best pal! You’re doing really well, we’ve said this for years and you’ve finally learned how to do it so all the best to you Kay.

You're doing a great job of running the show by yourself!! And I love seeing you get to taste your dishes instead of just Lee. This dish reminded me of my mother-in-law's recipe. She used stale bread crumbs instead of flour and also baked hers. Yours looks like it's creamier and smoother. Yum!!

That did look right nice. Macaroni Cheese is probably my favourite Italian meals. I like to eat mine the traditional way, with a nice glass of fizzy drink and a plate of gerkins while sitting ont the sand at the beach, just like they do in Rome. I have never had a Macaroni Cheese that I have never liked, except for at one time when a lady gave me macaroni cheese that was disgusting. Fumbs up.

[@evanmattioli9357]

Kay you are an inspiration to families all around the world! Each of your videos bring our family such joy! Never stop cooking!

[@korzer]

I love your wooden spoon, only real chef's have those burn marks its a sign of dedication.

[@Unknown16537]

Kay, if you're redoing this recipe at all in the future, you'll want to use equal parts butter and flour. And that was a lot of butter and flour. You'd be fine with using 2 or 3 TABLESPOONS of butter and an equal part of flour. So yes, melt the butter on medium heat. Add the flour and stir until smooth. And then I would use 1 cup of milk per table spoon of butter. So 2 cups of milk if I'm using 2 tablespoons of butter. But stir it in 1 cup of milk at a time. And again, keep it on a medium temperature. And then you add grated cheese and continue mixing until its your desired thickness (I usually put extra cheese). Add whatever you want to that. Salt, pepper, I like adding onion and garlic with some paprika and cayenne to mine but do whatever you want. You're so sweet 😭 I'm glad you're having fun. Keep it up, I can tell you've made great progress over the years

[@vintage1950]

Use a balloon whisk to whisk the roux, helps it to be smooth and lower the heat. You needed about half the flour (50g flour 50g butter 500ml milk)It takes about 15 mins to cook the roux and it eventually thickens. But good job.

Looks good kay just one problem... More cheese!!!!!! You should have roughly 50/50 Cheese and pasta, that way it solidifies into a brick in the fridge and you can make deep fried Mac and cheese with the leftovers. Mmmm Tastes like America. Just kidding of course, Add as much or as little cheese as you like, I typically do a blend of cheddar, America, Asiago, and some Mozzarella on top with Bread Crumbs, Mmmm

Looks great. One thing I might suggest is to add a thin layer of breadcrumbs to the top before putting it in the oven. This will give it a nice additional texture and make it just that much better without really any more effort.

I would suggest using a whisk to add the milk and flour and to make sure the sauce is super smooth. You're amazing! Keep cooking and learning and having fun with it! 😘

kay youre an inspiration i love you

[@EclecticGreyWitch]

I never thought anything about you doing your own camera work, but you're doing fine! I love your videos, just as they are. You don't need anything fancy. Here in the United States, mac 'n' cheese, at its most basic, is simply elbow pasta with melted cheese mixed in (not on top). Yes, you usually add butter, milk/cream, and at least salt, too. It can be baked and have other ingredients added (some people like bacon, ham, vegetables, herbs, and/or spices added) but that's not basic. Some of us love a 3- or 4-cheese mac. So, yeah, the cheese can often be overpowering, but for cheese lovers (like me), it's all good! 😁 Oh! It's usually served in a bowl if eaten by itself. If it accompanies a dinner as a side dish, it might go on a plate. It really doesn't matter what you eat it out or off of, though. That's true of almost anything you eat (I do recommend a bowl for thin soups, though 😂), of course. To be honest, I'm not even sure whether it's more "proper" to eat it with a spoon or a fork, even here in the States, but I like a spoon. That said, eat it however you like. 😊

Oh My goodness, This was the most adorable video I have seen from you! I Adored it. Here are a few tips ( because I'm a little too serious about my cheese sauces! LOL) 1) Girl! Get a whisk! From the moment you add the flour to the butter don't stop whisking! When you add the cream or milk, this will help keep the lumps down as it is designed to blend the sauce together. 2) try adding a tiny bit of nutmeg ( Or really just play around with herbs and spices a bit) to add a little more depth to the flavor! 3) Using heavy cream will give the dish a really nice consistency. 4) Baking the dish just helps to add a really nice polish to the meal, and makes it look nicer too. Try topping with cheese and bread crumbs tossed in melted butter before putting it in the oven for a nice added crunch at the end!

Easy peasy mac and cheese: 16 oz macaroni..16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese..8 ounces colby jack cheese..16 ounces heavy whipping cream..1 stick melted butter..3 cups milk.. Put everything in a 13 x 9 pan and stir. Bake for at least an hour at 350 degrees. Check noodles. If they are still a bit hard bake longer. My oven takes a bit longer.
