Mama needs her own channel, story telling and teaching, teaching everything around the house, family and Bible. She’s has so much to teach us. I’m waiting for it!
I will watch anything with Mama B in it. She definitely needs her own RUclips and she can talk about anything. Her faith, family - just anything and I will watch. I will definitely be trying this Mac n cheese. Thanks Zach. Love watching both you and your mom.
I hate cleaning up the spills in the oven so I usually put my casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch the drips. Thanks for another recipe Mama B and Zach. I look forward to making this.
Love, love, love seeing you and momma Bates cooking in the kitchen together. By the way, she's looking so good these days, and red is definitely her color. Love you guys❤️
Take me home, forget the country roads, lol. As with most American families, I grew up with mac and cheese, but I only ever had stove top mac and cheese, and it was good. I didn't know what I was missing until I had my first baked mac and cheese. As with all Momma Bates recipes, this looks AMAZING! Loved seeing y'all cooking together again. They're my favorites.
Oh my, oh my oh my! Ive been waiting for this recipe!!!!! I thought i could smell it as you were making it😊 cant wait to make. Thank you Mrs Bates and Zach... Blessings
No Zach! If you can do this, then I can do this.. it absolutely looks amazing. And a big hello to Mrs Bates 😊. Just loved watching you all on the show. God Bless you all
The egg and also the saltine layers are new to me, but sounds pretty good! I like doing a crockpot mac and cheese or stove top, but this one looks too good not to try! It's so fun watch you and your family cooking together :) Thanks for sharing all the yummy looking recipes with us!
I absolutely love your family ( Bates), you and your mama. I am so glad found yall on TV long ago. Been a fan ever since. Live the way yall live and it's just a joy to watch.❤❤ I want mama Bates to make me an honorary Bates for a week. 😅
If you can believe it, we didn’t even plan that! Honestly, it was last-minute. I called her and said hey you wanna come over and cook this cause I’m about to film and would love to have you since it was grandad’s and we just did it!
I can't wait to try this made the Bates way! My family fav is a homemade from scratch stove top mac n cheese, but I can see how baking it would allow the flavors to intensify more. Speaking of flavors...I add ground mustard - it intensifies the cheese flavor. I also add either a generous pinch of nutmeg OR a generous pinch of cayenne. It's just that little something in the background that enhances but does not overpower the cheesy flavor. But I'll be making the Bates version very soon. Thanks for sharing Mama Bates with us and sharing sweet Bates memories. And BTW, it is much more nutritious than the box because it's made with fresh, wholesome ingreadients instead of powdered cheese that who knows what kind of preservatives are in there.
Yummy! I'll be saving this to fix for church dinners. My mom always used a fork to whisk her eggs, etc, too. She never owned an actual whisk. I love seeing your mother sharing recipes!
I always line my oven rack with aluminum foil when I make something like this to keep the cheese from boiling over to the bottom of my oven. Chick-fil-A has the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted. If this tastes anything like that, I'm sure I will love it. It's always such a treat to see your beautiful Mama in the kitchen cooking with you!
Thanks for sharing another one of your families recipes I can’t wait to make it. Also please tell Mama B she looks amazing and ask her what her secret is to looking so young. God bless you all. ❤
I was a little nervous that this would be as good as it looked. It was fantastic and I don’t say that lightly about Mac n cheese recipes. Perfect for TG table! Thanks so much !
I just made this recipe for the first time tonight, and I can't thank you enough for posting this video! It was absolutely delicious, and I didn’t change a thing. I highly recommend everyone give it a try!
I never thought of using saltine crackers for this. I've also never thought of layering it this way. I may have to try it this way. I have also heard of several people serving mac and cheese casserole for Thanksgiving. That's not something I grew up eating for Thanksgiving but I may have to serve it one year. When I was growing up, we had my granny's homemade chicken and egg noodles. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into Thanksgiving in your family. By the way, I love it when your mama is on. I don't personally know her but every time I see her, it's like catching up with a really good friend.
This might be annother recipe that i am not familar with. Might try in January when we need the warmth of oven and warm food while winds from Canada blow . MONDAY we will do you Knoxville Chili recipe... husband is helping in the kitchen and we are using our Smithey Cast iron . He bought me the whole set 3 yrs ago and i love it!
Love you all! Thank you for teaching me this recipe!!!! The Lord used your family to soften my heart to move away from where all my family is from the last few generations. We moved to Crossville TN in 2021. We discovered your family's tv show in December of 2020 and watched all the seasons up to that point that winter with our kids. God knew how to soften my heart to get me to move across the country. I love it here and hope someday that we can come visit your church in Rocky Top and worship our God with you folks. Much love and thanks again.
❤❤😂😂😂 That really does look good. I love the Bates family. I follow all your kids and their babies with their having babies right now. So it is a good good thing. It's a loving family. They talk about the Lord, which I love that very, very much that people talk about the Lord and they pray. How do they like that? How about making a video of making Pamela and cheese sandwiches?
Thank you, Zach and Kelly Jo! I can't wait to make this! My 5 grandchildren already think that my macaroni and cheese is the best because it's homemade. 😊 Looks like I'm going to up my "Grammie" game.😊 Thanks for the recipe! We love you and your family, and are consistently praying for you! Sandy, from New.
Macaroni and cheese! One of my favorite comfort meals. Always make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Your mom's recipe looks pretty tasty! will have to try her recipe. 😋👍🏻👍🏻
This looks absolutely delicious..gonna have to share this with everyone..it was so wonderful watching you and your mom cooking together again..hope you all get to gather together and enjoy this with your family this month ❤
It’s not as creamy without a cheese sauce that starts with a roux. I prefer mac and cheese sauce made with a roux. I get a piece of boarshead American from the deli and shred it then add it to the cheese sauce..my Mac and cheese went from good to great!
Mama needs her own channel, story telling and teaching, teaching everything around the house, family and Bible. She’s has so much to teach us. I’m waiting for it!
I’ll pass that along to her!
I agree!!
Oh yes, I definitely agree! I love Mama B!😊
Yes please!
Absolutely!!! Agree.
Mama B is looking good! I've noticed over the last year she looks like she has lost weight. Love all the Bates!
I thought the same with it looks like she lost some weight. Always looking amazing momma b
I was thinking the same thing when I saw her in a stew crew vlog!
She’s been playing pickle ball!
I hope it’s not Ozempic. I’ve seen some scary reports on that medication and Mama Bates is too treasured to risk.
And she somehow looks younger too! Such a sweet lady!
I will watch anything with Mama B in it. She definitely needs her own RUclips and she can talk about anything. Her faith, family - just anything and I will watch. I will definitely be trying this Mac n cheese. Thanks Zach. Love watching both you and your mom.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love the interaction between mom and son. The recipes are great, but it is the relationship that is really worth watching. ❤
That means a lot. Thanks for watching!
I tried this with Gluten-free noodles and saltines and it was delicious!!
This is quickly become my favorite RUclips channel. I hope you guys get a cooking show one day.
I’m so glad you enjoy these!
I think your mom should have her own cooking channel on the cooking channel. She would be SO POPULAR ❤❤
I’d watch it!
I love you all the bates. Mama bates you look amazing darling ❤❤
I love how sweet and respectful they speak. I miss that in general
I hate cleaning up the spills in the oven so I usually put my casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch the drips. Thanks for another recipe Mama B and Zach. I look forward to making this.
That is such a great tip! I am going to start doing that.
I definitely would also!!
Mercy I love it when Mama Bates shows up to help (Kelly Jo) your amazing sweetie. Love Zach cooking and loves those that stop by.
I always have fun when I get to cook with someone else!
My mom and I are making this for thanksgiving
You are gonna have a great Thanksgiving!

Love seeing the beautiful Momma B! Your recipe is the ultimate comfort/fall food. ❤️
I love having her in the kitchen with me!

Thanks for sharing!! I'm 52 and have never made mac & cheese from scratch. My husband will be so excited.
You're going to love it! It’s gonna be a new family favorite!
Yeah, Mrs. Bates!!!
Mama. Bates looks so good
She slimmed down a good bit

I love my stovetop Mac n cheese as well! My lobster Mac is primarily cooked on the stovetop!
Oh, that looks delicious! Homemade is always best! Thanks for sharing your family recipe, I see the love you put into it!
You are so right! This is one of our favorites, so glad you liked it!
Momma Bates in the house 📣 Zach, Thanks for the cheese grating tip, to lay down the grater 💡 🧀 The Mac and Cheese looks delicioso 😋
You're welcome! I'm so glad you love it!
Bates Kitchen Mama and Zach you tube channel Love my favorite one fan BIG 💖 God bless you family 💖
So glad you enjoyed!
Mrs Bates is the best ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
So nice you support the dairy farmers. We’re in Wisconsin and my mom gave us cheese too. My favorite was toast with cheese and jam.
Wisconsin cheese is the best!!! We used to drive through every year or two and wow…. The cheese curds there are like no other!
Im trying this next Sunday for church dinner Wish me luck
Good luck. I will be trying also. Can't wait 😄❤️🙏
@ couldn’t get much easier , can’t wait to taste it
You’re gonna be one of the favorites for sure!!!
Yummy! I'll be saving this to fix for church dinners. My mom always used a fork to whisk her eggs, etc, too. She never owned an actual whisk. I love seeing your mother sharing recipes!
We never had one growing up for sure! Forks were everything! I really enjoy when she gets to come on here and share!
I can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
You’re going to love it! It's a family favorite!
@@Thebateskitchen I’m making this for Thanksgiving.

You're going to love this one!
Cant wait to try it. Love seeing you and Mama B together. ♥️♥️
I love when we can do one together
Oh my goodness this WILL be made in our home.
Sounds like it’s gonna be a happy home!!!
This looks delicious & your mama is the best! ❤ Tillamook Smoked Cheddar is what I’ve loved to use for mac n cheese.
She’s the best mom I ever had for sure!
I always line my oven rack with aluminum foil when I make something like this to keep the cheese from boiling over to the bottom of my oven. Chick-fil-A has the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted. If this tastes anything like that, I'm sure I will love it. It's always such a treat to see your beautiful Mama in the kitchen cooking with you!
I love that tip! You know, we try to get as much of it into the casserole dish as possible, but sometimes it just bubbles over!
Loved seeing your Mom again. Yummy recipe 😋
I know! We love seeing her too! 😊
Wow, just wow! Thank you Zach and Mama B! 😋🍂
You are so welcome! It’s one of our favorites.
My dad used to work for Nabisco in New Jersey! We always had cookies growing up lol. I can’t wait to try your recipe.
That is so cool! We always loved the few times dad would bring home the white chocolate covered Oreos when they did them in the winter!
Thanks for sharing another one of your families recipes I can’t wait to make it. Also please tell Mama B she looks amazing and ask her what her secret is to looking so young. God bless you all. ❤
You're so sweet! I'll be sure to tell her!
This mac & cheese looks absolutely amazing! And I always love seeing your sweet mom!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Mama Bates is looking amazing!! Can we get her own channel of comfy foods!!! ❤
I would watch it!
Gonna save this one to make later! Thank you!
You are so welcome! You will love it!

I love that you cook with your mama, and your children. I started each of my kids in the kitchen really young, and now they all cook really well.
That’s so great to hear! I’m all about getting the little ones involved in the kitchen!

Thanks so much! I sure hope so!!!
I love your vibe yall are so natural.
I met Kelly around 36 years ago and we really hit it off well! Been close ever since!
Zach!!! With the amount of cheese shredding you do, if you have a kitchen aid, get the cheese shredding extension!! You can shred it so fast!!!!
I'm going to look into that! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for sharing. Im gonna try this for the holidays!!
You’re gonna love it!
I always make mac and cheese by starting with a roux. I’ll have to give this a try.
I love my stovetop Mac and cheeses as well! That’s how I start my lobster mac!
It’s not as creamy without a cheese sauce that starts with a roux. I prefer mac and cheese sauce made with a roux. I get a piece of boarshead American from the deli and shred it then add it to the cheese sauce..my Mac and cheese went from good to great!
My Kitchen Aid mixer had an attachment that I can shred my cheese. You can also do vegetables. It has made cooking so much easier.
I need to get one of those!
Looks yummy !! 😊
You should try it!
@@Thebateskitchen I think I am going to try this recipe. Thanks 😊
This looks so scrumptious. Definitely needs to be on Thanksgiving table.
I agree 💯
That looks delicious! Love seeing your mom in the kitchen with you!
It was so fun to make this with her!
My mom has made a similar dish for many years! Its so yummy.
It’s such a simple recipe, but it’s so good!
Gotta love momma B ❤
I got to for sure!
Mmmmm. Looks good!
This recipe is a must-try! So good!
Thank y'all I made it last night for dinner my family love it it well be part of our dinner from now on
