    RECIPE POSTED BELOW!
    I finallly found the recipe they mentioned in this video, about the Turkey episode, it was precisely the Ghost Pepper Nashville Hot Turkey episode. Its slightly different just due to the cheeses they used, but you can always use the cheeses you want. Anyways, here's a copy and paste from that video for the mac and cheese.
    Step 3: Make the Mac n Cheese
    Ingredients
    * ¼ cup butter
    * ¼ cup AP flour
    * 1 can evaporated milk
    * 1 ½ cup milk
    * 1 cup cream
    * ½ teaspoon mustard powder
    * ½ teaspoon cayenne
    * ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
    * 1 teaspoon onion powder
    * ¾ teaspoon granulated garlic
    * ½ teaspoon black pepper
    * ½ teaspoon salt
    * 1 ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    * ½ cup processed american cheese product, cubed
    * 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
    * ¾ cup gruyere cheese
    * 3 cups medium macaroni, cooked and drained
    1) Add butter and AP flour to a large pan.
    2) Add in the evaporated milk, followed by the milk and cream.
    3) Toss in your spices.
    4) Add half of the cheese to the sauce.
    5) Pour in the macaroni. Mix well. Top with cheddar.
    6) Oil a casserole dish. Pour in the mac mixture. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

    • @mirandacoulter888
      @mirandacoulter888 2 года назад +23

      I’m a creamy mac fan so stovetop is my favorite. I don’t mind when it’s topped with extra cheese and baked but I still prefer the creamy middle over the crunchy edges. And you can scrape any breadcrumb or corn flake toppings right off the plate.
      But I am wondering why they didn’t have stovetop vs baked vs topping as their final comparison.

    • @IntrepidRacer13
      @IntrepidRacer13 2 года назад +31

      @@mirandacoulter888 I think it should have been the first test to be honest. The cooking method sets the baseline for everything else, and they even said at one point had they done stovetop they think the other way would have been better. It's probably the bigger question of everything they tested and if they want watch time it makes sense, but scientifically the one that has the biggest impact on the results should be tested first. I also think the cheese type myth was kind of dumb. Like yeah, different cheeses are going to have an impact, but get creative with it. Three variations of your standard yellow cheddar? Come on, that's not interesting. I want to know if a 5 cheese Mac is actually better than a single cheese, or what if you have really fancy cheese? The last Mac I made had an aged 24 month cheddar, a smoked Gouda, and three other cheese, and it was damn good. But would it have been just as good with a single block of regular cheddar? Who knows, and now we'll never know.

We both laughed hysterically and "loose soup" has since become a family joke. 😂

    Every time I've seen people use evaporated milk it wasn't a direct substitute where you make a roux, instead you cook the noodles in a shallow pan with just enough water and then dump the evaporated milk directly on the noodles after the water has cooked down, using the milk and starch from the noodles as the thickener.

    • @nataliajimenez1870
