#MAC AND CHEESE WITH EVAPORATED MILK ROUX MAC#
The most popular approach is to make your mac and cheese entirely on the stovetop. You May Like: What’s At Chuck E Cheese Stovetop Mac And Cheese Cheddar and similar cheeses that melt well will make your sauce the creamiest it can be.
A cheese like Parmesan, for instance, isn’t going to melt super well, meaning it’s better for a topper than for your creamy cheese sauce. But if you’re looking to make the creamiest mac and cheese you possibly can, you’ll want to be a little more discerning. You might think you can just throw whatever cheeses you happen to have in the fridge into your mac and cheese, and, to a certain extent that’s true. See my Bacon Mac and Cheese Recipe too!

If that sounds good to you, then you will LOVE this recipe too I like a thick and creamy perfectly flavorful cheese sauce like my picture above shows. I think its a bit different for everyone, but let me tell you about my perfect mac and cheese. Theres nothing like homemade mac and cheese, am I right? What makes the perfect mac and cheese in your opinion? Good ol Kraft right out of the box? Homemade thick and cheesy on the stovetop? Baked with a crispy topping and lots of ingredients inside? Too much butter and flour will make your sauce more like glue than a creamy, rich sauce. Add to drained pasta and serve.Though a roux is important for thickening up your cheese sauce, you want to make sure that you don’t add too much of your flour and butter mixture because otherwise the sauce can get too thick, which negatively impacts the creaminess. After a minute, add grated cheddar cheese and stir until creamy. Remove from heat and let sit, add spices. Stir occasionally until it coats the back of a spoon (about 5 minutes). Add the can of evaporated milk and the other cup of milk. While the noodles are cooking, melt butter into a saucepan and once melted, add flour and cook for 1 minute. Pinch of: Salt, garlic powder, pepper, nutmeg It’s the best part (after eating it of course). There’s no way to replicate it, you’re just gonna have to make the mac and cheese to see. Trust me, it makes the most amazingly squishy, mooshy, gooey, kind of gross, kind of awesome, not sure which sound. Step 7: Mix and serve! The best part it mixing the sauce into the noodles. You want something big to mix it all together. Now at this point your noodles will be done (it’s been 10 minutes now), so drain them and put them back in the pot you were cooking them in. Step 6: Now stir until deliciously creamy! I also like to add some seasoning: garlic power, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (just a tad) Step 5: After at least a minute of letting the mixture cool down, add your 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese. You need to let it cool a bit before adding the cheese so it won’t curdle. Now turn off the stove and remove it from the heat. Step 4: Start whisking and in a couple minutes the mixture will really begin to thicken and coat the back of your spoon. It must be sharp otherwise you’ll get a dull tasting mac and cheese. While you wait, grate 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese. You can tell you need to start to whisk because it will start to boil on the edges like you see it doing above. Step 3: You can let it sit for a few minutes before needed to start to whisk. I also add another 1/2- 3/4 cup of regular lowfat milk. Evaporated milk! You can use the lowfat variety, that’s fine. This is one of the tricks for a creamy, non-curdling mac and cheese. Step 2: Let the flour cook for 1 minute and then pour in 1 can of evaporated milk. Step 1: While your noodles are cooking in a separate pot, melt 3 t butter in a sauce pan and then add 3 T of flour (to make a roux which thickens your sauce).
