Directions
Mama’s Best Macaroni and Cheese,My kids say this is better than ‘the blues’ and gobble it up, even when I toss in a handful of cooked veggies like broccoli, peas, carrots, etc…. Make it a one dish meal with some tuna, cooked ham, etc… It is just as easy as the ‘blue box’ at least I think so and it is much healthier!,I think many folks here are having problems because they do not understand how to make a proper ROUX! If it came out watery and not thick, thats because you did not cook the roux long enough. Part of this, you should have the heat VERY low because butter will burn. I never even came close to medium, keeping mine at max medium low. I kept stirring and cooking it for about 5 minutes, which made a VERY Thick (perhaps even al ittle too thick! woops!) roux, and a very thick sauce.
Also, yes, this isn’t as ‘cheesy’ as boxed mixes… because this doesnt use additional flavorings, etc, its solely the cheese and spices you are tasting. I think it is delicious in a completely different way than boxed mac n cheese. If you prefer more flavorings, I like to add some worcestershire sauce to my mac n cheese, and hot sauce. I added some after I tasted mine, just because thats how i enjoy it normally 🙂
also, if you dont have mustard powder, you can replace it with some brown mustard – do it to taste, since it wont convert identically. Just a little should do the trick, though!,I really liked this recipe. Very easy to follow.I pre-cooked some broccoli and carrots, and I added the grated onion to the roux. Used evaporated milk. End result was creamy, cheesy and pretty! Thank you, Hope!
