I was looking forward to it all day yesterday and now I've been miserable as fuck all day. My girlfriend said she would eat it and I don't feel like eating anything now. Probably gonna go hungry today.
I have made it over three dozen times and it is perfect each time. Whenever we have potlucks down at the campground it is guaranteed to be gone. The dish is nearly licked clean every time. Try it, OP.

Do you want to be cheered up or do you want advice? Here's a grumpy owl. I'm sure he's having a worse day than you are. He just came home to find his owlwife in nest with a cuckoo. He's been literally cucked. Enjoy your schadenfreude. Hope you feel better.
its the most familiar side so everyone grabs some in case the more adventurous options fall flat. Doesn't really matter what the quality is, it gets eaten.

Add pasta water to your cheese sauce
Joshua Bailey
you forgot the SALT nigguh.
add SALT to taste, stupid

The best experience I ever had with Mac'n'Cheese was when I made a bunch for a comic meetup, but didn't have time to cook it and just piled it into a lunchbox. It was fucking divine. Looks like you've stumbled on the reverse corrolary.

>He's been literally cucked. fun fact the cuckoo lays it's eggs in other birds nests meaning that it had to be a female bird
Bentley Moore
you probably didn't add enough cheese the flavor in mac n cheese doesn't come from the sauce it comes from the cheese it tasted dry and yucky because you layered mozzarella in there when you should have added more cheeses, ie the kinds you used to make the sauce the sauce almost basically just holds it together
either that or you didn't actually taste your cheese saue
Camden Cruz
I would just skip the oven step, it's not worth it.
At the very most, I would put it under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown cheese and crisp up the crumbs a little.
Colton Bailey
Don't put it in the oven, macaroni and cheese is way better off the stove. I've tried making so many different baked macaroni and cheese recipes and they never turn out as rich and creamy.
If you still want a crunchy topping, just toast breadcrumbs in butter on pan for a few minutes.
Leo Sanchez
Do I need to use sharp cheddar to get a good consistent taste?
Last time i used mild cheddar, and it really came out kinda not cheesy even though I added way more fucking cheese than the recip called for. (Was using Chef John's Mac n Cheese Recipe)
I don't really like sharp cheddar, so I never buy it
Ethan Scott
Use sharp cheddar if you like the sharp taste. If you don't like the sharp taste then use a milder cheese.
And keep in mind that the quality of the cheese you pick makes a huge difference here. Just because the label says "mild cheddar" doesn't mean squat. It could be bottom-shelf flavorless store brand bullshit, or it could be a very tasty cheese. Quality matters here; buy good cheese, not the cheapest shit on the shelf.
Lucas Taylor
it's best to use a few different types of cheeses. sharp cheddar has a nice flavor, fontina is great for melting, parmesan is great for topping/mixing
Lucas Robinson
You forgot dry mustard, paprika, and salt. SALT. The recipie requires salt.
Don't use Mozza. Use good Cheddar, and Gruyere
Jose Fisher
Yeah, I keep meaning to start grating my own cheese. I'll probably start when I run out of the shit I currently have. Cheers, user.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind as well. Thanks!
Sebastian Lee
You need to add stewed tomatoes to it
Brandon Robinson
I've never had a successful macaroni and cheese using a bechamel.
Only good recipe I've seen was the stovetop recipe from seriouseats.
Only bad thing is that the pasta to sauce ratio leans a little too heavy towards the sauce.
William Morales
What the fuck is this?
Asher Jackson
Right. He's been dyke-cucked. Poor owl.
Ayden Davis
>oven >bread crumbs found your problems macaroni and cheese is supposed to be a simple dish, and one that's not fucking crunchy also this making good mac 'n cheese? enjoy your high blood pressure!
Ian Reyes
