Mac and Cheese I want to make them I am from eastern europe

Velveeta

Sharp cheddar is essential.

I always just do Kraft thick n' creamy with a little extra milk and 2 cups of shredded extra sharp cheddar. It's not the oven stuff but it tastes pretty gud.

In Europe it's called mature cheddar since we are mature

If the recipe involves making some kind of cheese sauce its a shit recipe. Good macaroni is baked and the cheese is gooey not saucy.

yes, but you don't want to use ALL sharp cheddar, imo, because it won't melt great and will give the finished dish a weird texture. you should also use a good melting cheese, such as monterey jack, gruyere, or even just a milder, higher-moisture cheddar.

also, if you don't add powdered mustard to it, don't even fucking talk to me.

make a roux
add milk
now you have bechamel sauce
season it, i use salt, pepper and chili flakes and garlic. bacon works well too
throw in cheese and stir until it's melted, ideally something that melts well and isn't too mild
now it's a mornay sauce
mix with cooked pasta
top with bread crumbs and more cheese
bake

sounds good, this will be my starting point then
I like the breadcrums idea there, chili flakes sound bit out of place though, luckily I dont have any anyway...

time to go choosing some cheese

anyone knows some recommended ratio of pasta to cheese?
for 500g of pasta, how much cheese you buy to use?

Medium cheddar is just fine, but cheddar is definitely the top choice.

I've made decent mac and cheese with gouda or gruyere, but it smells really bad.

>>7082492
so you use two kind of cheese?
one for easy melting other for some desirable taste?

>powdered mustard
ok, will check it in

Macaroni cheese is a British dish so you should use a British cheese like cheddar.
