I was not a fan of mac and cheese back in the day. But Ive come to love that cheesy, creamyAmerican comfort food, thanks to my son, who seriously would live on mac and cheese every single day of his life. But of course, Ive got to say no to breaking open that box from time to time.
Wait, what? You said a box? Yes, he is a huge fan of boxed mac and cheese! Hed gladly turn down good homemade food for a plateful of his all-time fave boxed mac and cheese. You can imagine my delight when I tricked him into eating REAL HOMEMADE mac and cheese. Ahhh, it was a sweet victory!
Southern Baked Mac and Cheese RecipeOK, I know opening a box of mac and cheese is a whole lot easier than grating cheese and making the sauce and macaroni. Butnothing compares to homemade, even if the package includes a can of creamy cheese sauce. Besides, the cheesy bechamel sauce is over-the-top with half-and-half and evaporated milk for extra creaminess.
And another secret ingredient? My faveCreole seasoningkicks the flavor up and off the chart! Nothing compares to this recipe, with a smooth, silky sauce permeating every inch of macaroni. Youll fall head over heels for the brimming Southern flavors this baked mac and cheese offers. Youll need a bigger spoon, for sure!
