do you hold any baked mac & cheese secrets?
>>21575683at least 6 different cheeses. and that’s just bare minimum
>>21575690>6 cheesesEasy big fella.
>>21575847I can instantly tell when there’s but a single cheese in your mac. I had some extremely strong words with my grandma over this last thanksgiving.
>>21575690God damn I hate poor people
>>21575858>extremely strong words with my grandmaHopefully you took her aside to do that and not over the dinner table in front off everyone!
>>21575683The uppermost layer of cheese should be sliced velveeta to keep the top from burning. It's a secret from one of Ronald Reagan's personal chefs believe it or not.
My macaroni and cheese is the simplest shit ever yet people seem to think it's amazing so I must be doing something right. Grate cheese. Set asideCook bechamel. Add prepared mustard. Set aside. Boil pasta to halfway done. Drain. Tip out into baking dish. Add cheese, saving a couple handfuls or two.Pour over bechamel and gently stir to evenly distribute the cheese and macaroni throughout.Top with reserved handfuls of cheese. Bake in hot oven until bubbly and brown.Allow to cool some before serving. Also, use double the amount of cheese as dry pasta. Pasta expands as it boils. Nothing worse that macaroni and cheese that isn't cheesy.Epstein didn't kill himself.
>>21575990Can confirm this anon fucks. Velveeta belongs in all mac and cheese there is nothing that can give the same creamy texture.
>>21576028what about the other 5-10
>>21575971>Hopefully you took her aside to do that and not over the dinner table in front off everyone!OBVIOUSLY he sperged the fuck out at the dinner table and had an autistic melty because his mac and cheese only had 1 cheese
>>21575683garlic, thyme and cracked sea salt
no, i've never had it
>>21576183how have you never had cheese and pasta together #?
>>21576174I brandished a broken wine bottle and forced her to flush her mac and dogshit down the commode
what even is the point of baking it? the pasta and sauce are already finished before you put it in the oven. all baking it does is overcook the macaroni and increase the chances of the sauce splitting.>but the browned crustput it under the broiler for a minute or two or hit it with a blow torch
>>21576202thanks for giving us 2 alternatives to baking that no one ever needed
>>21576185no mac and cheese in romania
>>21576222so the concept of adding melted cheese into a milky sauce hasnt even reached romania yet? really?
>>21576232I’m guessing they’re aware of it but if you bring up mac and cheese they’ll just say something nasty about americans
>>21576276italians put cheese on pasta.
>>21575995>simplest shit ever>Cook bechamel. Add prepared mustard.Already too much work. Not simple at all for 99% of people.
>>21576281holy fuck really??????
>>21576289>99% of people.60% of the people here still get their food by hearing their mother shouting them to come down from their bedroom
>>21576293no, i made it up. they only spit on it.
>>21575683>secretsJudicious mayonnaise and white wine vinegar. Celery salt and turmeric. Late addition of panko topping for crunch and broil (make a medium roux, flour only, and toast a smattering of coconut shavings, lightly sugared, and toss with the panko). This with the bechamel>>21575995 And Gipper Velveeta >>21575990Ashun shit: lots of tamarind, add Mirin to vinegar.
>>21576305That sounds ghastly
>>21576296That's cheese in Italy
>>21576316a nice big greenie back throat cheese
which combination is your favorite?I’ve had a lot of luck with >asiago>cream cheese>sharp cheddar>romano>white american>oaxaca>provolone>gruyere>mozzarella >goat>bleu>gouda>havarti
>>21575858why does mac and cheese need to have different cheeses? genuinely asking, i've never made it before (and am thinking of trying it soon)
>>21575690Hell yes. Bitches love cheese.
>>21576743one cheese is the barebones starting point we’re at when we first learn how to make mac and cheese as kids. once you’ve been in the game for some years or even decades, as your palate becomes refined, you realize it’s just not enough. nowhere near enough. as an adult, depending on the day you’re gonna find yourself using like 10, 20, sometimes upwards of 50 different types of cheeses if it’s really a special occasion
>>21575858You keep that up and you’ll be getting the blue box this Thanksgiving, sonny Jim.
>>21576735>bleauAre you French?
>>21576289>bechamel is hardThe fuck are you on about? Melt butter. Add flour. Stir. Add milk. Stir. That's it. You're basically making grits. >prepared mustard is hardIf opening a jar or squeezing a bottle of yellow (or yellowish) goop is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be using an oven in the first place, Corky.
>>21575683Step 1 is don't bake it before you serve it
>>21575683Big Macs
I use a sodium citrate based sauce instead of roux with whatever cheese i have on hand its much more creamy that way but i end up using 2x as much cheeseThen add sauteed bacon and onions with more cheese on top and broil until golden brown
>>21577107honestly I could see a big mac being incorporated into a mac and cheese. only thing I don’t know is how you can tastefully use the lettuce
>>21577537Why not? My aunt used to make cheeseburger fried rice which was just onion and ground beef fried rice topped with raw onion, chopped tomato, shredded lettuce and some cheese, with ketchup, mustard and mayo set out on the table to mix in for whoever wanted it. If lettuce could work there, I don't see why it wouldn't work with macaroni and cheese
I take mine with fried cheese and crushed red pepper.
