7 Cheese Macaroni & Cheese

 

The secret to a cheesy mac and cheese is incorporating cheese that melts well.

This is my take on the classic all American mac and cheese. It is super simple but taste so good! My secret is incorporating cheese that melts well this includes (mozzarella, gruyere, provolone) just to name a few.

I remember I had my first taste of macaroni and cheese as a boy that came out of the KRAFT blue box. I didn’t know what I was doing so I microwaved the noodles in water with the cheese powder and thought that’s what I had to do.

Well, long story short. It was so hard still! But, I ate it thinking that is how it was suppose to taste.

Moral of the story, if you make this recipe you will know how good macaroni and cheese is suppose to taste like.

I think a good macaroni and cheese rounds out the dinner table during the holiday season. It is rich and creamy. Super hearty, so just a few bites you might be full.

I grew up liking this dish because I thought, wow this is American food. To me, it reminds me of what “classic” American foods should kind of taste like.

The process behind making a good macaroni and cheese is simple. All you need is a good base, in this case it is a nice roux that helps bind the rich butter, milk, and variety of cheeses into this rich blend of cheesy goodness.

My secret to a flavorful macaroni and cheese is adding spices and aromatics that are subtle but lets you question what is in it. So, I like adding garlic powder and onion powder because it gives it an extra depth of savory flavor.
