Made this recently and it's super creamy and full of flavor. Thank you Chef AB! UPDATE: I served this dish at a cookout and it was a runaway hit. I should have made a double batch, it was so popular! Thanks again Chef AB!

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Glad you liked it!!

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

Good Morning 🆎 That looks sooo good!! When you don’t have foil a water bath will slow the browning of the cheese. For those that may not know what a water bath is…just fill a deep baking dish with water so once it heats up it creates a sauna-like condition.

[@50hellkat2]

A little cayenne .... a tiny bit is good. Not spicy amount for my preferences. This is an awesome mac and cheese you have made. Wow......the combination of cheeses is spot on.

[@Her_pieces]

Tried this recipe last night. I used sharp cheddar and white American cheese. It turned out delicious.

[@avitwat9255]

I do mine the same but I add some small cheese chunks mixed in with the noddles and sauce before I cover it with cheese on top. It adds another layer of cheese texture thru out

[@ethelash5346]

When draining off boiling water, turn cold water on them pour off boiling water from pot, you won't get steam in or on face and hands or arms. It works!👌🏿

[@lyricsmom22]

A little tip I learned from my older sister, freeze your block cheese then defrost it. When you go to shred it, it will crumble up and make the job much easier. We also take some of the cheese chunks and mix it with the noodles.

[@chrystianaw8256]

It spoils the taste of the cheese

I can’t wait to make this Sunday! Thank you so much for showing how to make the cheese sauce step by step! Yes I can cook really good my momma still call me to this day asking what I’m cooking and save her a plate! Lol. I’ve made homemade Mac n cheese before but never really satisfied with out come,(it’s still good, but I know what I’m looking for and just couldn’t figure out what was missing) so thank you Sir! I personally really appreciate your video for this! I’ve done the egg and milk, I’ve done the egg milk sour cream I’ve done just the milk and it never turns out and before u say anything yes I was using velveta cheese brick to melt with the other stuff and shredded cheese! So now I’m so excited to make this!

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

Just be sure you let that butter/flour cook 3-5 minutes to really cook out that flour taste. Ill say I've made mac the ways you have. I think sour cream is best or even cottage cheese.😍

[@meghanmoore4871]

This is the best way.. the only way I make Mac and cheese is with a rue and heavy cream ❤

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

@@meghanmoore4871 I love ANY mac and cheese...but I have to say it sits heavier in my stomach that way. I think maybe it's the butter.
