I should probably stop there. I have a sneaking suspicion I’m coming off like a total freak. So back to Bev. Bev posted a recipe that will forever be my go-to recipe for homemade mac and cheese. Before that, I had only experienced dry homemade mac and cheese. Goes into the oven wet, comes out dry. I love you Bev!

To avoid this, perhaps ‘After draining the pasta, put it back into the empty pot used for cooking, then add the cheese sauce. Pour this into a 9″ X 13″ (greased?) baking pan.

As someone who has tried many “best” mac and cheese recipes, I agree with this recipe being the best mac and cheese I’ve ever made! My goodness, I can’t stop eating it! Even my picky son loves it. From personal family recipes to favorite dishes off their own menus, these food experts share their secrets and show us how to cook what they consider to be The Best Thing I Ever Made.

She always topped hers with bread crumbs. Making this for Christmas dinner and know it will be delicious. This is my go-to recipe. I don’t follow it EXACT, but 90% I do.

Creamy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese Ingredients: 16 oz pasta 3 tablespoons butter 1 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp garlic salt 1/2 tsp salt 4 cups water 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk 3 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Directions: 1. Place the dry pasta, butter, garlic salt, salt, dry mustard and water into the IP cooker pot. Place the lid on the top and seal the toggle switch. Press manual (high) and timer for 4 minutes. When cooking time is complete, do a quick release and remove the lid when the pin drops. Keeping the pressure cooking on low heat (the Instant Pot will automatically go into this warm mode after cooking) Add the evaporated milk, and half the cheeses.

Add the rest of the pasta. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese, then dust lightly with the smoked paprika. • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the mac and cheese starts getting a slightly dry and a tiny bit brown on top. Serve, topping individual servings with cooked, chopped bacon if desired. Meat option Add cooked and crumbled bacon to the top of individual servings (or the whole thing if your whole clan is carnivorous). Gluten-free option Sub in your favorite gluten-free pasta. I’m partial to brown rice pasta – so good!

Since I got my Instant Pot, I’ve discovered it’s really good for making comfort food – those warm, cozy dishes that used to take all day to cook. After using it for my favorite and for, I decided it was time to put this thing to a real test.

I know you’ll see some with many types of cheeses and made really rich with cream. Topped with bacon, with lobster and crab. This is not one of those versions. But if you want a buttery, cheesy, creamy Macaroni and Cheese with perfectly cooked macaroni, plenty of sauce and a crunchy buttery top, this is a Mac and Cheese for you. ❤ WHY YOU NEED THIS MAC AND CHEESE IN YOUR LIFE There are a couple of things in this recipe that are a bit different to other Macaroni and Cheese recipes. Firstly, being of Asian background, I have a huge hang up about soggy, overcooked rice.

But if you’re on the hunt for an irresistible, cheesy, creamy, classic homemade mac and cheese recipe, here you go. Enjoy, everyone! • Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add flour, and stir until combined. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Then pour in 1 cup of the water, and stir (or whisk) until the mixture is completely smooth and begins to thicken.

• Every birthday, my wonderful Gran actually used to wrap up boxes of Kraft dinner for me. Best presents ever!

I’m partial to brown rice pasta – so good! Please resist adding more pasta and cheese! *Please resist the urge to add more pasta to stretch the recipe. You need a lot of sauce with that pasta because the pasta soaks so much and it otherwise cooks down. Over-dry mac and cheese is such a disappointment – don’t do it!

It is not particularly difficult to make and once you try it you'll never buy the boxed stuff again. I have made a number of chef in training recipes and have not had a bad one yet.

Easy 20 mins Quick This truly is the BEST stovetop mac and cheese recipe! It only requires one pot (no extra pot to cook the pasta), it’s ready to go in about 20 minutes from start to finish, and it’s perfectly creamy and cheesy and delicious. This weekend, Barclay and I went to a here in Barcelona that was fabulously, deliciously, entirely devoted to CHEESE. And it was just about the best thing ever. 🧀 🧀 🧀 Literally everywhere you turned, ooey gooey cheesy dishes were being served. And you’d better believe we took full advantage of them. From freshly-scraped raclette toasts, to the most amazing Korean-inspired mushroom grilled cheese sandwiches, to Spanish (slightly different than French) onion and smoked cheese soup, to vegan Mexican cheesy quesadillas, to the best ricotta I’ve ever sampled, to the most dreamy Italian gyoza-ish dumplings filled with potato and cheese and served in a pecorino-sage saucethe day was all of our cheesiest dreams come true. And we left feeling so happy.

I rarely ever comment on recipes, but had to on this one. Every mac and cheese that I have made, has been somewhat dry and never creamy, but not this one. It was super creamy and delicious – everyone loved it. Couple things that I wanted to note, is that I used half and half and also used freshly grated parm cheese, since that was all I had on hand and it worked perfect. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a creamy dish. Thanks for sharing this recipe – it will be made several times in the near future!

• Pour the macaroni and cheese into the prepared baking dish and top with the panko-cheese mixture. Bake until light golden brown and bubbling, about 30 minutes. DO AHEAD: Macaroni and cheese can be made ahead, put into the baking dish, cooled completely, and kept, covered in the refrigerator, for 2 days.

Serve, topping individual servings with cooked, chopped bacon if desired. Meat option Add cooked and crumbled bacon to the top of individual servings (or the whole thing if your whole clan is carnivorous). Gluten-free option Sub in your favorite gluten-free pasta.

I would suggest making sure to melt the sauce before pouring into the dish. I was wondering if adding a little cream cheese to the recipe would work or not? Or does the velveeta alone add enough creaminess to it? Also, I see other recipes use Dijon mustard for a spice.what does mustard do to the flavor of mac and cheese? I thought about trying a little fresh garlic and then adding a topping to your recipe. I never made homemade mac and cheese before.

Oh, there was plenty, for both of us. My mom just heated her leftovers, but I added a tablespoon or two of milk to my leftovers before heating, which gave it a really creamy consistency. I was wondering, if one didn’t have the condensed soup on hand, could you just add a bit more grated cheese (maybe a mild cheddar instead of sharp to keep it from getting too sharp a cheese taste?) or would that change the consistency too much or make it harden?

I’m noticing something about the reviews it seems those who said they used half n half were not happy with the finished product and those who used an alternative loved it. For myself I followed the recipe exactly only I did use milk rather than half n half just because I didn’t have any. I also added a little sour cream to the cheese mixture. I thought it turned out FANTASTIC! My daughter said it’s the best Mac n cheese I ever made. I’m revising my “go to” Mac n cheese recipe to this one with those few minor changes I mentioned. Download files faster in mac. It really was creamy and cheesy while still being a bit mild and not making you feel sick if you eat a ton of it (not sure if that’s good or bad, lol).

Feast your eyes on this Now go forth and cheesify!

After its all cooked, let cool, cover in foil, then put it in a freezer bag sealed tightly. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight, bake at 375 with the foil on for 30-40 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 until heated through. Lol to see this. Because i always see these food posts and crave them but this is in my fridge now!! This is my EXACT recipe for baked mac and cheese which I just made my kiddo yesterday and I always serve it with little smokies in the crockpot simmering with a bottle of bbq sauce on the side perfect pairing. Only modification I do with this recipe is I splurge and use cavatopi noodles they are SO SO SO MUCH BETTER for this dish and I use the large bag of shredded cheese that is already the mix of white and yellow shredded and put more cheese on the top than this.

My husband requested pepper jack as another option, which I think would be delicious. The possibilities are endless!

(Maybe for an Instant Pot it’s allowed but for those of you adapting this to a non-name-brand pressure cooker, stay away from butter.) That’s what’s clogging up your release valve and causing so much of a mess in your kitchens! Try using a little olive oil instead – you should always use a little oil every time you use your pressure cooker to keep the valve from getting clogged. My manual specifically states this. You can then add the butter after cooking. This recipe calls for WAAYYY too much water. Even after draining the water and adding more butter to make up for the loss in the draining process, it was still way too watery.

Made it according to directions, and it turned out just ok. I tweaked it just a bit and it comes out amazing everytime. Add butter first, and stir until melted thoroughly. Then add velveeta and do just the same.

Add same amounts of shredded cheeses, THEN add cold ingredients (tweaked to 1/2 cup half and half, and 1 egg). If you follow the exact words of the recipe, the pasta will cool which doesn’t allow the velveeta to melt enough. Then you’ve got cubes of velveeta melted in the dish but not evenly distributed!

I bought a morrisons own brand blue cheese and broke it up in the sauce which I was also curious about as I thought maybe it would make the sauce a little bitter. They are little slightly sweet mouthfuls of melty goodness. Added a nice strong cheddar and parmesan too. Pushing the boat out a little bit tonight and adding shredded bbq pulled pork on the top, shoved in the oven for a further 5 mins. Am excited to try it so felt like I should tell everyone!!!

Thank you so much for all of your great recipes!! Oh my goodness!

I made this last night and OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING!!! I added Broccoli and Cauliflower and crossed fingers as i plated out some for my VERY PICKY Grandchildren! They totally DESPISE VEGETABLES!!!

It’s a great recipe just needs a few changes in wording and some ingredients scaled back! I agreed with Karen’s September 2017 post; I always make a white sauce with butter and flour when making Mac n cheese.

Adjust the seasoning to taste. Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked elbow macaroni and gently stir to coat the noodles in the sauce.

• In a small saucepan over moderate heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Place the panko bread crumbs in a small bowl, drizzle with the melted butter, and toss to combine.

I do believe, as others have mentioned in the comments, the little bit of extra water does help create the cheesy sauce you were desiring. After you stir it all together, and let it sit for a couple mins, everything comes together nicely.

I recommend next time if pasta is undercooked, to re-seal your pressure cooker, and cook for a minute or 2 longer instead of using the saute. Does your cheese seize up with you put it in a pot with noodle on the stovetop?

And of course, feel free to add your favorite extras like raw or roasted broccoli or cauliflower, or crisp cooked bacon. For more on mac 'n' cheese, including tips from McCord and more mix-in ideas, see. Preparation • • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9- by 13-inch baking dish.

After the flour browns a bit, I add milk then whisk a whole egg into the tempered sauce so it won’t “cook in the sauce”. Afterwards, I add a can of nacho cheese soup the my white sauce. My family is partial to fontina & Gouda or white & mild cheddar to my white sauce.

Sounded like a win-win-winwinwin to me. Sure enough, after testing a few batches, I’m now a total convert to the one-pot camp. Works like a cheesy charm! 👏 Also, let’s talk about your cheese options here. I kind of feel like mac and cheese is the savory equivalent to chocolate chip cookies when it comes to people’s Very Strong Food Opinions. Everyone seems to have their cheese of choice (or blend of cheeses) that they prefer with their mac and cheese!

• Boil the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking, and return to the pan you boiled it in. (Mix in a little butter to keep the noodles from sticking if it’s going to be awhile before you make the sauce) • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. • To a over medium heat, add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the flour, salt, dry mustard, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika. With a wooden spoon or whisk, stir constantly for three minutes. • Add the milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a whisk.

I wanted to use the Instant Pot to make the most classic comfort food of them all, mac and cheese. Well, I don’t mind telling you, this wasn’t that easy. I had to do a little tinkering to get the amounts and the timing just right.

• Nuts: Pine nuts, toasted almonds, etc. • Seasonings: Some faves include Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, a sprinkle of za-ataryou name it. The sky’s basically the limit here.

• Add 1 clove finely chopped garlic and 1 tsp English mustard powder, cook for 1 min, then stir in 3 tbsp plain flour. • Cook for 1 min more, then gradually in 500ml whole milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, whisking all the time until thickened. • Take off the heat, then stir in 250g grated mature cheddar and 25g grated parmesan.

Still delicious! But a little less saucy. I recommend assembling it up to the point of baking, refrigerating, then, before baking, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs”. Hi Heidi, This is the first blog post of you that I’ve ever seen and, wow, your mac & cheese looks amazing! I’m selective when it comes to cheese, and I don’t like just anything on my macaroni, but this cheese seems really nice. I wish it wasn’t so difficult for me to find it in my country:( You’re right about mac & cheese being the best comfort food ever, I love a good mac & cheese when I’m feeling down. Or when I’m just hungry!

Sprinkle more in between and on top if you must have more cheese. Doubling this recipe I (and many others) have doubled this recipe with success – no changes needed other than a bigger pan! Make-ahead notes When you make this recipe ahead of time, please know the result may be a tad more dry. Still delicious! But a little less saucy. I recommend assembling it up to the point of baking, refrigerating, then, before baking, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then proceed with baking.
