Best Cheese Sauce N Cheese Mac N Cheese

I made it and my boys enjoyed it although there was a curdling consistency to the sauce mix.

Except home is filled with 17 unopened boxes filled with my kitchen stuff.

Its simple, its quick, and its completely made from scratch.

Whisk in flour, paprika and onion powder until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Place onto a baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.

Nice and creamy than when I took out of the oven it was not creamy at all and rather chunky.

I actually cut the recipe in half as there is just the two of us.

I used an extra mature cheddar and fusilli (didnt have macaroni) and I added some english mustard powder.

One cup is 8oz so doesnt 3 cups mean 24oz Which is it 12oz (meaning 1.5 cups) or 3 cups (meaning 24oz) This is very confusing when two different units of measurement are in the directions.

So measurements of volume and weight are not interchangeable.

I have never used evaporated milk in mac and cheese before, but I now will use nothing else.

My recipe is pretty dang good However, this recipe is so simple and so GOOD Try it out I add one more cup of cheese on top and add chopped jalapeos to the mix.

Try it.

BUTOMG This is so good I mean seriously, think about it sitting in my fridge yummy good Even reheated ( with a little smidge of milk added ) its amazing.

But this one is incredible I didnt have the ramekins so I put all in one dish.

I ended up putting just a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs on top the second time, and it was great.

I prepped this the morning of our NYE party and then once it had cooled I added the shredded cheese topping and then just popped it into the oven for 30 minutes at the party so that we could enjoy it fresh out of the oven.

Question; Has anyone prepped this a day ahead If so, should I prep today, bake tomorrow Or bake today and reheat 45min before serving.

Now I want to make it for Christmas but I want to try making it in muffin tins.

Needless to say this recipe is so simple and absolutely delish.

If that is the case, a 16 oz box would feed around 12 Thanks for your time Excited to make my first homemade Mac n cheese.

Id recommend only increasing cheese sauce ingredients by half, rather than doubling.

If I melt the butter, whisk in flour, then complete each step leading up to gradually whisk in evaporated milk.remove from heat, stir in both cheesethen didnt prepare it for baking, rather at this point, cooled sauce down totally, placing sauce into a very airtight storage container, put into the fridge over-night, with next day removing sauce from fridge, bring to room temp, heat sauce in pot stove top, once heated add sauce to pasta, place entire mixture into a 2-qt baking dish to bake, would this idea work well or destroy the integrity of the recipe.

However, I would recommend reducing or eliminating the paprika in the sauce.

It seems to overpower the sauce and gives it an oddunexpected flavor.
