Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your macaroni and cheese.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make it less creamy and flavorful.
  • Cook the macaroni noodles al dente. This means that they should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. This will help to prevent the cheese sauce from becoming too thin and runny.
  • Use milk or cream. Milk or cream will help to make the cheese sauce smooth and creamy.
  • Add some seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the cheese sauce. Overcooked cheese sauce will become thick and rubbery.
  • Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately. This is when it is at its best.
