Today I’m sharing my creamy cheesy baked mac and cheese recipe wait until you taste it while our water is boiling let’s go over our cheeses I like to use cheddar cheese Kobe Jack mozarella you can stick to these three but I’m going to go with a fourth

American cheese I have a cup of each in these bows but I’m going to split them to a separate bow I’m adding half2 cup of mild cheddar half cup of copy Jack half cup of mozzarella half cup of American it’s important that you shred your own cheese you can have it cut at

The deli for free just don’t use the ones that are shredded in a bag those come with a waxy film and don’t melt well to a pot of boiling water add about 1 tbspoon of salt and about a teaspoon of olive oil to help with sticking you

Can use elbow pasta but sometimes I like to use cork screw kabat tapi it holds the sauce so well and just looks prettier you want to cook it according to your package directions this one Cooks in 8 to 9 minutes once done using a colander drain your pasta and let it

Sit in your sink while we work on our cheese sauce the key to ultra creamy Mac is R we’re going to make a bashal sauce to coat each noodle in cheesy Heaven add one stick of unsalted butter to the same pot I’ve got my heat set at a number

Four Once melted will sauté three minced garlic cloves to infuse amazing flavor turn your heat down to Loa so you don’t burn the garlic now add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to slightly thicken it mix or whisk well to dissolve the corn starch now add two cups of half and half and

Two cups of heavy cream or you can do two cups milk and two cups heavy cream M I wish you guys could smell how good it smells already now we’re going to add one teaspoon of Dijon mustard now the mustard may seem like an odd addition

But trust me it really brings out all the other flavors season with salt and pepper and this is to your taste we’re also going to add 2 tspoons of Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon of paprika 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne or one whole teaspoon of cayenne if you want a spicy

Kick and give it a mix now you want to turn up your heat to about a number seven so it comes to a simmer you don’t want it boiling but only to a simmer once it simmers and slightly thickens turn your heat off we’re going to add

Our cheese you want to mix and remove from Heat eat while the cheese melts you don’t want to ruin it here’s what we’ve got so far this is looking great now it’s time to add our pasta we’re going to mix the pasta in the cheese sauce you

Guys this Mac is unbelievably cheesy and creamy now spray some oil to a baking dish we’re going to add half of our mac and cheese I’m going to add a layer of cheese on top for an ultra cheesy mac We’ll add a little of each

Cheese let’s add the rest of our mac and cheese then we’ll top with the rest of the cheese if you like it extra cheesy you can add a little more cheese I’m doing cheddar now we want to bake at 350° F or 177° c for 20 minutes after 20 minutes

Switch to broil and broil for 2 to 3 minutes for a light Golden Crust all right guys I just took it out of the oven as you can see it’s bubbling up already we’re going to let it sit for a few minutes but we’re also going to top

It off with a little bit of parsley for some garnish can you hear that look at that cheesy goodness let’s go ahead and give this a try m M oh my God so good nothing like comfort food mac and cheese M so good I hope you guys give it a try and
