The BEST homemade Mac and Cheese 😋

Ingredients:

1/2 stick of butter

2 tbsp all purpose flour

1lb mozzarella cheese

1lb Colby jack cheese

1lb sharp cheese

8oz Velveeta cheese

12oz can evaporated milk

2 cups heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Make the Roux:

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden

Prepare the Cheese Sauce:

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in half of all the cheese the cheddar, mozzarella, and the 8oz Velveeta cheese ( save the other half of cheese for later) salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

To the cooked noodles Add a dollop of sour cream and salt & pepper

Combine Pasta and Sauce:

Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, stirring until evenly coated.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish in layers (add in the rest of the cheese between layers)

*Add a little evaporated milk in between the layers.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

... Read moreMac and cheese is a beloved comfort food around the world. This recipe not only incorporates a blend of cheeses like mozzarella, Colby jack, and sharp cheddar but also adds Velveeta for an extra creaminess that makes every bite irresistible. To make the perfect mac and cheese, start with high-quality ingredients. The use of evaporated milk and heavy cream ensures a rich and creamy texture that traditional whole milk cannot provide. Season your cheese sauce well to enhance the flavors, and don't forget to add a pinch of salt and pepper. Baking the dish allows the cheese to melt beautifully and creates a delightful golden crust on top. You can customize this recipe by adding ingredients like crispy bacon, sautéed vegetables, or even buffalo chicken for a unique twist on this classic favorite. For a gourmet touch, try mixing in some truffle oil before baking. Serve this dish hot, and watch it become the star of any potluck or family gathering. Whether it's a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this homemade mac and cheese is sure to impress family and friends!
