My late Mum, God Bless Her, was a W.I. Cookery Judge and luckily taught me a love of baking, cooking and preserving as a young lad. I could tell the jell point of jam and jelly before I was ten years old. One "trick" she passed on to me was that whenever she was cooking or baking with cheese as an ingredient she always added a tiny amount of cayenne pepper which brought out the cheese flavour and gave it a "bite". Be VERY careful as once she was a bit heavy handed when making cheese straws and they caused quite a few raised eyebrows amongst the unsuspecting guests!
You're brilliant, Stacey! I cooked & dehydrated small shells and made my own mixes, some with freeze dried shredded cheddar, some with cheddar powder, some with herbs, buttermilk powder and cheese! WAY cheaper than buying the organic boxed stuff. I weighed out 6 ounces of pasta for each jar, equivalent to the boxes, but I stayed true to your other ingredients. We tried the one with the freeze dried cheddar and it was SO good. THANKS!
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I really enjoy you channel. Learning lots of good stuff. You know they say you're never to old to learn. At 72 gives me something to do.
Thats so clever i need to find my dehydrator now i have so many mason jars i can use gosh this idea would be great store in my pantry thank you so much for this stacey 😊
My granddaughter loves Mac and cheese. I can’t stand the boxed variety so I’m going to make up your mix and give her a taste. Hopefully she will love it.
I like this idea. Good one, thanks. I think I will put all of the powered bits on the bottom and then add the pasta before sealing it up. Again, great idea, and many thanks!!!
I love watching your videos I feel confident in giving them a go myself Definitely going to try the Mac n cheese in a jar (my first try) You are so down to earth and very easy to follow with your step by step instructions Thank you 😊
We did something very similar. But we went to gilmours and bought the cheese sauce powder in bulk and milk powder.. Used it for a tramping /camping trip. You can also just put the powder into a separate jar and spoon that into pasta when pasta is 95% cooked.
This is very interesting. Never even thought about dehydrating pasta. I guess I thought it was kind of already dehydrated since it was dry and brittle.
Love your video's second comment on this one sorry😂.. But another quick one I make for work breakfast is rolled Oats, milk powder, nuts, seeds, dried fruit. When im at work i fill jar with hot water but lid on and come back 30mins later and breakfast is done.
haha Don't worry I love hearing from you! Yes, I have an overnight oats recipe on my website and I love it. I know I should start eating three meals instead of one a day so I might just do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
@elizabethcollins-lowe3147 it's linked in the description. Be warned it's not in the best shape. I'm currently working on a new, better site behind the scenes. 😊
This is great! I’ve now cooked my macaroni and dehydrated it. I don’t always have cheese in the fridge ( the price of it 😢), so I’m going to see if using a cheese sauce mix works.
Hi Stacey love your videos. Have you tried to put raw pasta Mac n cheese mix in pressure cooker? Should work all good, 4 minutes to cook pasta probably add extra half cup of water for pressure...what's your thoughts? Stay cool! Regards Jen
I've never dehydrated pasta, but I will now. I was curious how long would it take to dehydrate it. I really needed a healthy recipe for Mac and cheese. Thank you.
Cooking and then dehydrating pasta seems so counter intuitive to me🤣. My daughter introduced me to macaroni and cheese made with the sauce based on bone broth rather than milk and I'm thinking that would work as a shelf stable meal as well.
Morena. Thanks for the video. These would be so much healthier than the commercial ones. I'm quite grateful we can't get powdered cheese or whatever here in NZ. One question. Can you use ordinary preserving lids on the jars i.e. agee or similar and are they reusable? Great to see a Kiwi doing these types of videos. Kia kaha.
I love this. I spend a small fortune on those packets but lets be honest theyre full of crap! How long do you dehydrate the pasta for? Ie if you cook a big batch and use all the trays. Also i have heard of people freezing cooked pasta so presumably that would be even quicker. Love this thanks so much for sharing

A sprinkle is all you need , you shouldn’t be able to taste it , it should be in the background to just enhance the flavour of the cheese
yes! and mustard oowder makes anything with cheese cheesier!
I put a drip of worcester sauce in, it brings out the flavour more. I make worcester garlic sauce and use that. Thsnks for the videos🌻
Yes! Or Maggi seasoning liquid if I have it. It takes the flavors to an other level ☺
Love this idea for my great grandkids. No chemicals, all natural ingredients.
Wow, I learned something new! Now on with my Stacey marathon! Here’s wishing you quick healing! We all love your videos! Hugs from Ohio USA
Another great idea Stacey, far better than the rubbish that comes in packets😊

Wow this is awesome Stacey! What a terrific idea! Love it!! God bless and quick healing!🥰❤️🇨🇦🍁🙏🏻
Yes Stacie, post anything and Im sure everryone can learn a tip or 2 ❤

Thank you Stacie, I bought a electric cannera few months ago, so now I will go ahead and start using it. I hope you are recovering well. Xx
How do you dehydrate them? This would be such a great mum hack. Thank you. Best of luck on your operation, you got this
Ahora sí que me volveré cocinera profesional con estos videos ❤❤❤❤
Una más de sus recetas para salvarme la vida. 🤤
Interesting.
What a fantastic idea! I'm going to make up some of these to have when my grandkids are over! And also...now I'm hungry! Lol
Haha, I had some while the grandkids were here and it was perfect!
Muchas gracias, por todas las recetas y sonrisas que nos sacas
It's not only half the price, it's double the amount!
I need a dehydater, it would be good for campervan meals
Thank you so much for this tip. My children love Mac n cheese. This is genius
Una buena opción para guardar y tenerlo listo
Wonderful idea. Will surly try.
Love Mac and cheese, just need some bacon bits with it
agree!
Looks delicious, will certainly have a go at this xx
My granddaughter loves Mac and cheese. I can’t stand the boxed variety so I’m going to make up your mix and give her a taste. Hopefully she will love it.

Hi Stacey was just wanting to know can you use that vacuum sealer on jars without doing the water bath when it comes to preserving
Se muy delicioso

oh my gosh, I didn't think of Gilmours! I should have because that's where I shop mostly. Thank you I will try them.

I love this idea. Thankyou so much for sharing.
I'm interested in the dehydrator you have. Are they worth the time and money?

Yes, another kiwi said she buys cheese sauce in bulk from Gilmours. I would have never thought of that!
Nice
Good
Buenísimo
Cheese powder avail at Keto store.
You can get cheese powder from keto store nz 500 gram for $17.95
🤗🤗🤗
👍👍
Sabroso ❤️
I have been looking for a Mac n cheese recipe for ages..thankyou. Where did you get the sealer?
Hi Stacey love your videos. Have you tried to put raw pasta Mac n cheese mix in pressure cooker? Should work all good, 4 minutes to cook pasta probably add extra half cup of water for pressure...what's your thoughts?
Stay cool!

Hi Jen, if you search my videos you will find PC mac and cheese :) I am going to be making an updated video on it again soon as well.
I've never dehydrated pasta, but I will now. I was curious how long would it take to dehydrate it. I really needed a healthy recipe for Mac and cheese. Thank you.
I can't quite remember maybe 4-5 hours.
I was thinking of trying to make powdered cheese in the dehydrator. With all the cheese we have in NZ you think it would be easy to get in the store.
Bien
Where's the cheese?
Maybe mix it all together in a bowl first then put it in the jar ? ...
Cooking and then dehydrating pasta seems so counter intuitive to me🤣. My daughter introduced me to macaroni and cheese made with the sauce based on bone broth rather than milk and I'm thinking that would work as a shelf stable meal as well.
👏👍🏻
✌️✌️✌️
Would you be able to dehydrate the cheese to add in the Jar? Greetings from Australia.
Morena. Thanks for the video. These would be so much healthier than the commercial ones. I'm quite grateful we can't get powdered cheese or whatever here in NZ. One question. Can you use ordinary preserving lids on the jars i.e. agee or similar and are they reusable? Great to see a Kiwi doing these types of videos. Kia kaha.
thank you I'm so pleased you enjoyed it
Delicioso
I don’t have a dehydrater . Could you dry off some of the pasta in the oven or is that a stupid question?
I love this. I spend a small fortune on those packets but lets be honest theyre full of crap! How long do you dehydrate the pasta for? Ie if you cook a big batch and use all the trays. Also i have heard of people freezing cooked pasta so presumably that would be even quicker. Love this thanks so much for sharing
To be honest I think you could even get away with cooking it from scratch in the milk mix.
Might bacon powder be a potential addition? It's not easy to get, maybe there's a diy version out there???
Bake or fry your bacon to a crisp, but not burnt, and crush! We like bits left, but you can run it in a herb or coffee grinder to powder it! 😊
@@branwen8009 thank you!
please may i ask you, so the macaroni is just normal dried then popped into the jar. thankyou so much from uk really x
It was pre-cooked then dehydrated but you could use dried, it will just take longer to cook
How long did it take to dehydrate your pasta?
Do you think this made, then later added to a thermos in the morning with boiling water would be edible or too mushy by lunchtime?
Good question, maybe hold off with the water until you want to eat it. Give it maybe 15 minutes.
🤤🤤😁
Probare hacerlo
I wonder, could you use nutritional yeast as a powdered cheese replacement.
Yes, I had thought of that as well, I forgot to mention it. Thanks, I'm sure that could be a great option as well.
the recipe is recommended
Thank you
Lol! Not enough for a family of 4.😊
You would just make it up with the amount you need to feed a family.
Hi from Rotorua, I’ve found out you can’t vacuum seal Agee jars.
Hello, Katherine. I vacuum seal Agee jars all the time no problems.
Ok. I tried , mine wouldn’t seal
How long did you dehydrate the pasta? Was it just el dente or well cooked?
Hi, I'm very sorry I should have mentioned that. Cooked until El dented and then just dehydrated until hard and throughly dry.
👍
