This is the basic “base” recipe and it’s so easy! To kick up the flavor, I add a dash of mustard, a little dehydrated onion, and my 4 cheese blend: Cheddar, Gruyère, Parmesan, and American. So delicious! I’m Famous for my Mac & Cheese (not to brag!) Another tip - shred your cheese yourself. It’ll melt nicer and it just tastes better 🤩
I agree shred your own cheese. The bags of shredded cheese have cornstarch or potato starch so it doesn’t clump. I think it takes away the taste and texture of the cheese. Really how long does it take to shred cheese. I will shred a bunch if I’m making dishes through the week with cheese. Everything needs a spice or two onions celery, peppers add so much flavour to a dish.
Mac n Cheese has got to be every kid and adults favorite. Even I'm an adult and still like my Mac 'n cheese. Love the beautiful casserole dish that you put it in. Still an old time favorite today. I'm sure it's better homemade than boxed. Thanks for sharing Tammy. Going to make this soon. Much love to you and Chris have a blessed weekend. Happy cookin'❤️🙏🤗🌷
You just kicked me um...to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way. Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions!
I’m a southern, country cook. You are the only cooking channel I watch on RUclips. You’re the real deal. You cook like my Mamaw and in my opinion, she was the best home cook ever. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes with us. 💜
Good Mac and cheese you can never go wrong with it It's interesting how we all cooke meals differently based on what state we all live and grew up in for example me I don't want the cheese to be crunchy just smooth and creamy everyone have a blessed weekend
Well I made it once before Easter but I didn't season it enough and I only used mild cheddar so it was a bit bland. But I made it again today for Easter in a large portion and I used two thirds sharp cheddar and one third mild cheddar. I also added 2 ounces of cream cheese and made sure to season more..... it was so good. Thanks so much for your help. I never had anyone teach me how to cook and I love being able to learn new things. I hope you and your family had a great time for Easter. Love ya
Tammy, i have got to make this. I didn't know how do what you just did. We all love Mac and Cheese. That is the way mama did it. I just never learned how. THANK YOU. I am learning SOOOO much from yoir videos.....Love you!!!
Sometimes less is best & this looks delicious!! I love how creamy it was after it finished baking. Basic recipe, not 12 million different chesses, and it really looks good!
I would suggest novice cooks should try the first part of this recipe b4 doing it later and get flustered if a problem raises. Basic for gravy too. Conquer this and you can be a great cook. I do not add salt to my raw macaroni , I as i had a swelling problem to salt. I remove my portion and finish for rest of family.
Diced ham would be good added to this too. You could add finely diced celery and onion cooked in the butter before you add the flour. Make the cheese sauce and add diced up ham when you add the cooked macaroni. Yum. Thanks for sharing. Love your recipes.
I always put diced ham, onions and garlic that I've sauteed separately and then add it to my cheese sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or so before combining with your pasta...and make sure to add s thick layer of cheese on top about 20 minutes before it's done cooking in the oven...delish!
Looks Great! Exactly how my Mom made it too with the cheese sauce. Yeppers, I don't like to brag but everyone loved her Mac N Cheese! I am partial to it wouldn't change a thing for when I make Old Fashioned Mac N Cheese! I am not too fond of cream cheese to it just plain block sharp cheddar hand shredded. Dressed with lightly toasted bread crumbs for special occasions too. Oh My!!
That looks so very good. What ever you are making, I ALWAYS feel like running downstairs and cooking/eating. I should not be viewing your channel in the early morning hrs. (12:06a.m.EST), but always works out that way. 🙏❤☕🌹👍
I made the cheese sauce then added it to my mashed potatoes. (I use arrowroot powder in place of regular to thicken the sauce). Hands down the best mashed potatoes I have ever made, the cheese sauce was fabulous.
Have never seen those quick melt!!!!! And if you read the flour package you are never to eat the raw flour! Tammy so much enjoyment to spend time with you and Chris in your kitchen sharing and learning such delicious dishes. And the holidays!
I wish I had started planning/cooking earlier today! My mouth is watering. Guess I'll be making me some homemade Mac 'n Cheese tomorrow for dinner (leftovers!!!). Thank you Tammy and Chris. God bless you both.
I don’t like a flour cheese sauce and, mom never done a flour sauce. I eventually started making mine like Paula Deen’s old macaroni and cheese recipe that calls for a cold sauce where you use a sour cream sauce and you use cold butter and, a little bit of the pasta water. I love to still make a big dish of macaroni and cheese and, eat on it for days and nothing else. I also do the same for a combination of white cheese macaroni where, I like to use a Swiss and feta. Macaroni and cheese is my favorite southern comfort Ms. Tammy.
That looks delicious, I'm going to keep this video and make this sometime soon. My Mom makes it, and sometimes I ask her to put some ground beef in it. Fry the beef up, and add it crumbled before you bake it. Makes for a while meal . That idea of the burner on the table is perfect.
Hello from Pittsburgh 🖤💛🖤💛 This looks delicious Tammy!! I absolutely love making different homemade mac & cheese recipes, my nannie is from the south so this dish has always been a family favorite!! I'm definitely gonna try this one for Easter!! Thanks so much for all of the amazing recipes, much love 😘
YUMMMMY !!!!!!!!! Looks sooo delicious !!!! There are only a few things different between the way you make macaroni and cheese & the way my Mamma used to make it ... She always put at least two or three eggs in hers, along with some extra "cubed" block cheddar. We also had to grate our own cheeses, and, we mostly used only medium and sharp cheddar cheese. Still your casserole sounds quite delicious with the creamy - melt cheeses you use !!! TY for sharing this recipe - I'll hafta try it someday soon. (Never knew why my macaroni and cheese turns out greasy til you explained why in this video - TYSM !!)! Again - YUMMMMY !!! 😻
I order so many cookbooks every month, i have to really limit myself. I was going to order Erin Frenchs books this month, but i decided to otder yours instead!
I will need to try the creamy cheese. Your Mac and cheese looks so good. I will have to make it on Easter Sunday. I like to crumble some buttered crackers on top for the crunch. Love Ya
My mom was not the consummate cook. She had her limitations. But her Mac and cheese was as good as it got when I was a kid. Two things that I believe made hers unique. First was the cheese. She used what was called a longhorn cheese, which cooked up stringy like modern mozzarella, but cheddery. Secondly, she topped off the final baked product when finished with a light sprinkling of brown sugar! That is my family secret recipe. And now you,too, can have it to try. Love ya!
I am not a big pasta eater and mac n cheese tops my list of not my favorites. I have been told that this is probably the case because I can't make it! I need to get your measurements for this small-batch! It does look so yummy!!!!
Look at your cute lil' Easter tshirt, awww! Where'd you get such a cutie? LOVE mac and cheese, will have to try! Love your channel AND Real Southern Woman!
I pour half the Mac and cheese sauce in the dish then add a layer of cheese like you did on the top, then pour the rest in over that and put another layer on top.

Try little cayenne pepper in your Mac and cheese. The bomb!

That how I fix my mac&cheese. I'm in my 60's plus, and my mother shown us how to make Mac&Cheese.
Yum! My favorite! I love the cheesy top, it's the best part!
OMGOODNESS- the sound of that scrumptious Mac and Cheese being scooped up into that serving dish made my mouth water!!!

Yummy Tammy and Chris! Thanks!🧀
I ask myself, why are you watching Tammy cooking Mac and cheese at 1:00 in the morning. Just my favorite dish.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve lost my mothers!❤️👏🏻👍🏻😊👏🏻👏🏻
