Soul Food Macaroni and Cheese - NO Velveeta, NO Eggs! - I Heart Recipes

Hey friends! It is time to make some Soul Food Macaroni and Cheese: iheartrecipes....
This baked Southern Soul Food Macaroni and Cheese Recipe is made without eggs and Velveeta cheese. It is made with 6 different cheeses: cream cheese, sharp cheddar, gouda, mozzarella, colby jack, and havarti. I make a homemade cheese sauce completely from scratch! The homemade cheese sauce that I make for this macaroni and cheese is made from three different cheeses. I use havarti, gouda, and…..CREAM CHEESE! The cream cheese is what makes this cheese sauce so freaking creamy. I tell you, it is amazing! Now as far as pasta, I use plain ol’ elbow macaroni pasta, nothing special. You can use any brand that you choose, just make sure that you don’t overcook the pasta (don’t nobody want any mushy mac and cheese sweetie!).

[@blessedonearth3413]

I love this...so tired of people saying that you have to use EGGS in macaroni and cheese

[@lisahair2love]

For years!!!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out this technique! My ex husband sister was known for her fantastic Mac n cheese and I asked her for her recipe and she laughed. I remember arriving to a family event early and saw sour cream, Philadelphia cream cheese and evaporated milk on the counter...she jumped and tried to hide them 😂 lol I said yeah I gotcha now! That was 20 yrs ago❤️ You are right, this is a secret weapon that’s not a secret anymore 🥰

[@MsRose00]

Can I get an AMEN on the omitting of Velveeta cheese? I make a good Mac and cheese already but will be using some of the ingredients and techniques here. But I love that Velveeta was left out. I hate Velveeta!

[@tequitawilliams939]

MsRose00 exactly no Velveeta real cooks skip Velveeta & make a sauce without a cope out😉

[@Untilhecomes85]

I hate velvetta

[@zammymynakersnackstbmoth]

[@YTuser874]

I’m going to make this for Christmas. I’ll have to double or triple the recipe. I’ll leave an update on how it turns out 👍👍👍😊😊😊 Update: ! It’s soooooooo good. The only words I can find to express how delicious it is, is this: there was a famous soul food restaurant in my town that closed down a few years ago because the owner died... I struggled for years to find out what his Mac n cheese recipe was.... well Glory be to God this taste like the recipe I’ve been looking for!! 10/10 👍👍😊🙏

I’ve been making this mac and cheese recipe for years now (since you put this video out). Let me tell you, EVERYONE loves this recipe and I get asked to make it multiple times a year. I’ve even made a gluten free version of it and it tastes just as good. Just wanted to say thank you! God bless.

[@iheartrecipes]

Thank you for trying my recipe luv!

[@jdubcoffee]

Absolutely the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted. Don’t hesitate to make it!

[@nathanmcorpus]

Rosie, I have followed your recipe several times over the last two years and it has been a HIT every single time. This is definitely my favorite recipe of mac and cheese, and you SOLD me on the no eggs. I can't stand eggs in mac and cheese. Not only am I happy with the recipe, it is just so delicious! Thank you for this recipe!

[@kadywilliams6764]

[@raquellpn7482]

This was ssooooo gooddddd...I never made mac and cheese before and my boyfriend invited me to his parents home to meet them.. I wanted to impress everyone so I made this and it came out great!!!!! This is a must make!! I used a different noodle though. And also I upped the seasonings measurements.

[@TiffanyTalksRealEstate]

I made this for Thanksgiving n Christmas.. My family loved it, no left overs. I must say, the best Mac n cheese I have ever made. Will never use an egg again.

[@Luckys25]

OMG! I made a double batch we are having an early thanksgiving today and a second one thursday. I made my normal mac n cheese and then i made a double batch of yours. I didnt tell my family which batch was mine. Needless to say every loved your receipe . My mother in law said this is "off the chain" my husband said this is the best mac and cheese i ever made. Welp! I guess im retiring my recipe. (my recipe similar use evap milk but no ghouda , but i use sharp cheddar & vermont white. c ) Delicious I have a new recipe thank you for video !

[@iheartrecipes]

+Lucy Smith thanks for trying my recipe!

[@NYCCHOCOLATE7777]

LOL Lucy "YOU Can Just Say This Was An New Addition To I'm Sure YOUR Already Fabulous Recipe" Great Cooks Always Just Add New Tips & Tricks

[@ingridgoesgaga]

I Heart Recipes OMG I love your recipe I can't go a holiday without making it.

[@Mike_Greene]

Lucy make yours without the evap milk and use reg milk. i bet the tables will turn. really great mac and cheese is homemade and dont need any tricks to make it look smooth or creamy (who says it has to be this way? homemade has a look all its own imo. . . All you need is some sharp cheddar and another cheddar and a lil american milk and pasta... all of the other ingredients is useless. the cream cheese isnt even in the recipe for flavor . . . smh

[@rochellemanor8290]

Mike! why are you hating on this recipe? Don't knock it until you have tried it. Spread the love and your idea is good too! Have a blessed day.

[@dawnye1]

that is exactly how I make my mac n cheese!!!! And i ALWAYS get praises for it. Sometimes I use cream cheese sometimes I use sour cream. I never use Velveeta cheese. I can't see how people can make mac and cheese with Velveeta. Velveeta is not a cheese people!

[@nutrisheddietitian6985]

Is it ok to use both sour cream and cream cheese?

[@vernellharris5278]

Sorry but I use Velveeta in my Mac and cheese learned from one of the best cooks ever God rest her dear, dear soul and always get rave reviews. Be blessed and remember we all add our own touch to recipes and make it our own.

[@nutrisheddietitian6985]

@@vernellharris5278 I decided to try both velveeta and cream cheese and received rave reviews as well 🤩

[@BrendaLStovall]

Dwayne the Velveeta sole purpose is to make it non oily and smooth and an effective tool in cheese sauce and the cream cheese is serving the same function or some use sour cream. You can't taste it because people blend with other cheeses.

[@dewby24]

I made this with Parmesan cheese, marble, and mozza, no evaporated milk, and it was AMAZING!! Have never got a homemade macaroni and cheese turn out so perfect before! Thanks for sharing 💜

[@eaglesgirl445]

Can't wait to try this tomorrow. Soooo glad I found this. I always use eggs and never made a cheese "sauce" so this is definitely different. THANK YOU

[@1flyboi212]

I made this yesterday with some fried catfish, sweet peas, and, potato salad. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was so good! There was absolutely no leftovers.

[@iroc31407]

No Velveeta, No Eggs? Hello, I'm in love! Thank You! I'm making this tonight. Why wait? :).

[@jalarious4285]

*Omg! That cheese sauce would probably go great with chicken breast, Bacon, & Brocoli for a carbonara!*

[@gatorburbage]

I'm from Alabama and home made baked Mac n cheese is always at every get together...and everyone's macncheese are different.... I really have enjoyed your videos and look forward to trying your recipes out!! started out watching your chicken fried steak video and ended up at your Mac n cheese videos... love it!! keep it up!

[@ladeeda81]

I see so many different variations of mac and cheese on you tube and at times, I want to make them all. Sometimes, I use a little of this and that kind of cheeses, but still the simplest form is still the best to me and I say this especially for those who don't want to spend a grip on various cheeses, LOL, that Sharp cheese, eggs, butter, sour cream, and some evaporated milk is still soooo dog gone delicious that you will not be lacking in taste and praises for just making your version with less cheeses. Trust me, you won't!

[@boricua2992]

I have been using this recipe for three years and it is the best!!! (I just changed some of the cheeses out for others) and it is literally the best of you cannot eat eggs! Always a thanksgiving/Christmas treat to have!

Do you use the blocks like her or shredded cheese?

[@rapgurl3058]

Well if you want you can do the custard style with eggs and milk or you can melt the butter and add milk to make the cheese sauce

Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s absolutely a crowd pleaser. I’ve made it twice already. made it for Thanksgiving 2018, and it was the first dish to run out from the whole spread. I don’t think I’ll ever use another recipe. I’m just going to make it now just because. 💜💜💜😊😊😊

I just put this to bake but from the taste of the cheese cake alone - MMMMMMM GIRL THIS IS A WINNER! That cream cheese is EVERYTHING you can really tell the difference between the basic bland and white (no shade) mac and cheese that I used to make and yours. This is my first soul food recipe and I might just eat it out of the casserole dish

[@msluv57]

Fatima Andrews Not only are they hating... They obviously didn't know anything about cooking mac and cheese.

[@crystalrowe5948]

The cheese blend is my go to now. But, maybe it's just me but I finished it on the stove top. I didn't bake it because I feel it dries it out to much. But, this girl seriously knows how to cook. SO, maybe that is why she got the dislikes? Some people just don't like to bake the mac and cheese after it is already done. No hate intended just my thought.

[@lauralivingherlife860]

Girl stop some people have better recipes, are just make it better. So if you don't like something, that's what the dislike thumb is for. I can't stand simple people who confuse, disliking something with hating.

[@lauralivingherlife860]

😂

[@jusssayin480]

I think homemade Mac n Cheese must be baked to taste best. I think she was getting hate because the cholesterol police thought there's too much cheese and milk.

[@Sara-Eevtea]

I made this 4 years ago for thanksgiving and everyone loved it! My sister asked me to make this again for her birthday dinner tonight. Thank Goodness I followed you on Instagram way back when. Thank you for the recipe :)

I'm making this again for thanksgiving 2nd year in a row. Everyone said it was delicious. Thank you for delicious recipes 🤗👍🏼

[@ferdelance2299]

Now THIS is a Mac and Cheese recipe. Right before this video I watched some basic lady named Sarah make a weak Martha Stewart recipe with sub-par technique, though she seemed so confident and had expensive production style. I also watched a "real" soul food recipe with Velveeta in it. Even though I like Velveeta for some stuff once in a while, I personally don't hold recipes with fake ingredients in high regard. I'm Puerto Rican and I'm constantly trying to improve on my familiy's recipes because so many of them call for canned or branded products instead of fresh ingredients, and I've noticed the same issue with other ethnic American foods. Hawaiian food with Spam, Mexican food from a box and a jar, supermarket sushi with fake seafood, it's a rampant problem for everyone everywhere. I know it can be convenient and inexpensive to use prepared and imitation products, and millions of people literally cannot afford fresh ingredients for everything or have access to fresh foods, but that's a whole other discussion for another forum. Bottom line, when it comes to flavor, nutritional value, and overall quality, nothing beats fresh, and there's NO REASON to shoot cooking vids featuring fake food products except as a joke or as some kind of ironic meta-entertainment. It's just an insult to injury. Sorry for the rant, but thank you for being such an awesome cook who makes honest, delicious, REAL food. I would love to try this recipe!!! Maybe you and Chef John from Food Wishes can collaborate on something amazing one day (He's my go-to KZbin recipe guy along with a couple other people.) I'm gonna definitely check out your other videos and already subscribed: )

[@finch546]

I second this comment! I try to use as much REAL food as possible when cooking, and I clicked on this video specifically because you said NO VELVEETA in the description. Keep up the great work, people seem to really like how relate-able and delicious your recipes are!

[@plantbasedtable]

I have tried several different recipes and this is superior to evey one of those. There is this recipe and evrything else. No Velveeta, i don't eat it, no eggs. Best hands down. This will be on my holiday table from now on. And by the way I'm a chef and I will be referring people to your channel. Thank u for sharing your blessed hands. 😍😍😍😍

[@eaglesgirl445]

FYI... I made it... I made it. Followed everything. I've Never used Gouda or havarti cheese, but I was determined to use everything and I'm so glad I did. Thanks again 👍🏾

[@AugustAdvice]

I love your recipes, but stop rinsing your pasta! :) That's an Italian no-no. It stops the sauce from sticking to the pasta properly.

[@bubblescooper1216]

Good tip to know. I think I'll do that next time (not rinse the pasta).

[@HarmonyNae]

key word: Italian

[@angelamarshall7194]

what do you do to stop the cooking process?

+Angela Marshall If you take the noodles out before the time that they are considered well done, then you wont have to worry about stopping the process. I usually cook my noodles until they are just "al dente" when I know that I will continue cooking them in sauce.

Just made this and baaby it's so good. I also made the southern one from your recipes, although good, no comparison to this one. Thank you.

[@LION749]

Hell no in my opinion leaving out the sharp cheddar is a sin against all soul food mac n cheese seriously because sharp cheddar gives it character...

[@SUKABAZ]

Yes this is old style. The same way my mother would have made it over 50 years ago. We did not have the variety of cheeses as there is today, but she made the sauce and everything the the same. We sure miss her cooking, but I certainly would love to taste yours. For a young girl,m it seems you have a passion for cooking and doing it right. Keep it up.

[@iheartrecipes]

+SUKABAZ thanks for watching!

[@asuhornet99]

That mac n cheese is sexy.

Rosie, girl I hate you! But I LOVE you more! You are the bidnis (and no, I do not mean business) with this! I bet Thanksgiving at your house is all about elastic waistlines and naptime. LOL

[@iheartrecipes]

+iamenmotion LOL! Everyone will be wearing comfy sweat pants and over sized tshirts. LOL

[@submissivequeen4645]
