We love making this with bow ties and wagon wheels, too.
You can never fall short with the classic elbows for mac and cheese. Not only does the paprika give mac and cheese a stronger taste, but it gives it a fabulous yellow-orange hue.Īnd you’ll need your favorite short pasta. The best mac and cheese always starts with a roux made of butter and flour. We might as well start back at the beginning with plain ultra creamy mac and cheese! Ingredients And plus, we have a new baby who was just introduced to the scrumptious mac and cheese world. Which apparently is fine with everyone in my house, because this creamy mac and cheese is just so damn good. I moved onto a new recipe, hidden cauliflower mac and cheese, which was a success until recently when she started questioning what those "crispy things" were in her pasta.ĭarn. And as every kid probably decides at some point, she suddenly no longer liked vegetables, especially carrots. Okay then. This worked great and she ate a ton of carrots and green beans for about 6 months!Īfter those 6 months of carrot-eating bliss, she started noticing the “orange stuff” in her mac and cheese. Once I had that down, I tried to make my homemade mac and cheese more well-rounded by sneaking in grated carrots and green beans. So my goal years ago was to make a simple homemade creamy mac and cheese sauce that my toddler going through her pasta-only stage would eat and love. It was ALL she wanted for as many months and years as I can remember, and pasta is still one of her favorite dinners. When my first daughter started eating real food she absolutely, positively fell in love with pasta. But homemade mac and cheese was something I had to learn, and fail at, before perfecting the most amazing, flavorful creamy mac and cheese sauce you’ll ever have! I’ve picked up a natural ability to simply know how to cook from them. While I credit most of my cooking ability to watching and helping my own mother and grandmother make from scratch recipes throughout my childhood, for some reason mac and cheese wasn’t in their recipe rotation. We were an out-of-the-box Kraft mac and cheese family, so making mac and cheese from scratch was entirely new to me when my daughter was born. I never had homemade creamy mac and cheese as a kid. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve made mac and cheese since my children were born. Made with evaporated milk, cream cheese, and whole milk for the creamiest homemade mac and cheese you’ll ever have.
Beat those winter blues with the ultimate comfort food: homemade Creamy Mac and Cheese! This kid's favorite takes only 20 minutes and can be served as a complete family friendly dinner or a side dish for a family dinner or winter holiday.
