Creamy mac and cheese recipe cream cheese

I have been hosting Thanksgiving now for 7 yrs and this I will admit was the best. The mac n cheese was a HIT!! I made 2 pans, one just as you have it then I made one with crab. Can I tell you both pans were empty by the end of the night. There was over 40 family members at my house and very little left overs. I was glad everyone enjoyed my cooking. You are my go to girl for all my recipes and you really help me to shine. He was very disappointed. I stumbled over this recipe and tried it today. I cannot thank you enough. This was a crowd pleaser, and it sure to be a cherished family favorite.

Does it store well if I make it the night before and heat up the next day? I just came across your site as I was searching for a new recipe. I see in your recipe you add cream cheese. Is it an absolute must to include in the recipe? Are you able to taste it? For Christmas dinner I prepared your mac and cheese collard greens and candied yams, unbelievable. I was so pleased and proud at how deliciously wonderful everything turned out.

I owe it all to you Baby. Hi Hattie! I am so glad that I could assist you with your holiday menu! I appreciate the kind words. Hoping that you have a amazing ! Made this on Christmas and it was a hit!!! Thank you!!! Gonna look up all of your recipes so that I can get more kudos. My family and I enjoy it everytime I make it.

Thank you for sharing. Very tasty, creamy, and down right flavory delicious!! Can you make this ahead of time, say 2 hours, and then bake. I have to take this to a dinner and I want to cook it when I get there. This sounds delicious. Do you think I could make it up ahead of time and refrigerated then bake it? Made this tonight. It was amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe. Going for the banana pudding next. Hey Rosie, just tried this recipe and it is by far the best macaroni and cheese recipe I have ever tasted. When will you post the video to your homemade banana pudding?

It look so good and I want to try it but really would like to see your video first. I just stumbled onto this recipe on Pinterest. My mouth started war tearing as soon as I started reading your recipe. Your mac and cheese will be On our table tomorrow. Hi Abby. For best results I would advise sticking to the recipe.

Hi ,Rosie what type of havarti cheese do you use for this recipe. Hi Rosie Omg!!! This is amazing. He loved it. Everyone loved it. Life changer!! I wish I can post a picture of it when it finishes. Hi Rosie! How would I go about doing that? This recipe was delicious!!! Thanks for sharing! Question for you. I love extra sharp cheese, can I pair that with the mozzarella and sharp instead of the Colby Jack?

Did you precisely measure each seasoning or did you kind of eyeball it and seasoned it to your liking? I want to make this recipe a day or two ahead. Should I assemble the whole dish are keep them separate and put together the day of Thanksgiving and heat? I am concerned about the noodles absorbing the sauce and losing some of the creaminess. Sorry ancestors. Just being honest. Have you ever assembled this dish, then refrigerated it over night and baked the following day? Just wondering if this method affects the quality at all.

Just trying to get a jump on Thanksgiving day. I saw you have another Mac and cheese recipe, Soul Food Mac and a cheese. I was wondering if I could incorporate the two, five or take a few ingredients, and arrive at the same delicious outcome? I want to use the cheeses in the southern baked Mac and cheese, but still in corporate the ingredients and spices in the soul food Mac and cheese.

Can I do that and it still taste good? It was either too sharp or too bland. Thank you for sharing: Making this now, was in need of a new Mac recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. OK, so I just made this for Thanksgiving, mind you it was my first time making it. I followed your instructions step by step and used the exact cheeses. I had no left overs what so ever! Unfortunately I only made one batch, so I will definitely do double for Christmas! This recipe is truly a keepsake! I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a HIT! I used a creamy Gouda that had chopped jalapenos in it for a little extra kick and it was perfect.

My new favorite mac recipe! Made this for thanksgiving this year. And it too along with the green beans in the slow cooker with bacon pieces was a super super hit. So good, my family was asking me to make more the Sunday after thanksgiving because it was all gone! Thanks for the recipe! Normally my mac n cheese would be hit or miss.

Thanks to you it will always be a hit! Does leftovers freeze well? I am making this for Christmas, but it is only three of us, just wondering what to do with leftover. My husband found this recipe for me to try for Christmas Eve dinner with his family. I prepared it the night before and put it the oven before dinner and OMG! It was delicious and everyone was pleased with it. I will definitely be checking your website more often for recipes.

I searched everywhere for an authentic soul food macaroni and cheese. I searched dozens of recipes until deciding on yours. I made it for the first time on Christmas and it was exactly like you said it would be. It was creamy, smooth and smoky! It was also rich and delicious!

Hi Rosie I have made this dish multiple times and it is to die for. I want to make smaller dishes for easter this year because it is only me and my boyfriend. I am making this and the candied yams. Is it ever ok to cut the ingredients in half to make smaller portions. I have made this recipe several times and my family loves her. Instead of plain gouda cheese I have substituted for smoked gouda and it adds additional flavor. Rosie you are the best!! Rosie ,. What a wonderful recipe.

My baby is allergic to eggs so I tried this as an egg-free Mac and cheese. I used the gluten-free eggless elbows and it turned out perfect. We love it!! Thank you for this recipe and the smoked paprika is amazing. This recipe has been my go to for awhile now. Always comes out amazing. Wish me luck! That sounds amazing. Almost like my lobster macaroni and cheese. It has bacon bread crumbs drool!!! Oh my cheese!!! This dish looks absolutely amazing! I must try it! LOL Totally going to make this very very soon! Thanks so much for sharing it!

I love that you incorporated other cheeses outside of cheddar. I love your blogs and videos. Not only have my cooking skills increased, but you are helping to make my job as a stay at home mom enjoyable. Thank you so much for the time you spend teaching us. On a side note I do have a question. I entertain a lot and this mac and cheese is always in demand and it always goes quickly. I know doubling is not always the answer.

Is there any advice you can give me? Hi Simone! You can definitely double everything for this recipe: Thanks so much for trying my recipes. Hi Rosie, Thank you for sharing this recipe. I tripled the recipe, baked it for an additional 20 minutes with it covered for the first 15 minutes. The end result was Bubbly, patches of brown, gooey, creamy and stringy goodness.

Absolutely the BEST recipe ever. He said it was so good he could help himself! God Bless you! This is the best mac and cheese. Thanks for sharing. Love,love,loved this mac n cheese! One of the best I have had in a long time!!! A mix of creamy and thick. Very good recipe. It seemed like too much cheese sauce when I poured it into the pan but it was perfect.

Seasoning on point. Great reviews from all. Try it! The kids are all coming in from out of town for Thanksgiving this year and they requested I make it again. Thank you for sharing your yummy recipe! Hi Rosie, I made your recipe 2 years ago for Thanksgiving and it was an hit. My question is can i prepare this dish the night before, and if I do will it still taste the same. I made this recipe last year but added crab meat and shrimp. This was my first time ever making macaroni and cheese. Here it is: This looks so yummy and I want to make it right now.

Any suggestions? When you melt the butter in the saucepan, you could add the onion and saute it for a few minutes, then add the flour to make the roux. I think that would be amazing! I want to make this for our Christmas party. I would need to make 4 batches, so you think I could put it in a roaster??? I never write reviews but I just had to for this one because my entire family loved this, and I have one insanely picky eater. I baked at for about 18 min. Really good! First mac and cheese recipe that I have ever bookmarked! I made it exactly like the recipe says, I added panko and butter to the top.

Next time, I will personalize it! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! I just made this for dinner, it was a big hit with my boys. I made it with smoked gruyere because that was the only thing I could get my hands on and sharp cheddar, but it was so good. Thank you for the recipe I cannot wait to make it again.

My kids loved it, my mom loved it, and I loved it! This will be the only way I make Mac and Cheese from now on.

Easy Ultra Creamy Mac and Cheese

Can I just use the bags of already shredded cheese? Or does the block cheese being shredded taste better? Pre-shredded cheese is coated with cellulose to keep it from clumping together, and that can make the cheese not melt as well into the cheese sauce, unfortunately. When cooking the cheese sauce, it could look like something has gone wrong when the cheese starts to melt and pull together like a sticky glob. Not to worry! I am happy that I placed my dish on a sheet pan lined with foil because it definitely ran over mostly oil from the cheeses. I also added about a tablespoon of smoked paprika and used gouda as one of my cheeses for that smokey taste.

It sliced instead of being runny and it was soooo good! I found my love, this is it for Me! Hooray for a gorgeous recipe with glorious reviews! Thank you!!! That is totally on my list to try soon! My husband loves to smoke things. Would you make this ahead then just place the finished product in the smoker instead of putting in the oven to bake?? I would assemble the mac and cheese, then smoke it at or degrees for about minutes.

Just WOW! How do you keep the sauce from getting grainy? Is there any specific brand of cheese I should use? Perhaps try a mild cheddar, or even swap out part of the cheddar for American or Velveeta. Those cheeses have added emulsifiers that help keep a sauce together. Half and half is found in the dairy section by the milk and cream in grocery stores here in the US.

Alternatively you could use a mixture of milk and heavy cream just make sure it comes to a total of 4 cups. It melted nicely. My sister and I could not stop eating it. I have already sent it to all the women in my family I used sharp cheddar and Swiss cheese in mine. Everybody was more into the Mac then the main dish! I would give it 10 stars if I could!! Thank you so much for the recipe!! Oh so amazing!!! That would be a fabulous choice! Thank you so much for your response!

Our daughter is shredding the cheese, as we speak! Thanks, too, for the video! After being refridgerated, will the oils separate like they would for leftovers?? And after sitting, will the cheese sauce be pooling in the bottom?? Umm, this recipe is bomb. I served this to a group of hungry church people at a bible study.

I served barbecue brisket and had hot cinnamon apples and this amazing Mac and cheese. People went crazy. Do you know how to get a group of baptists to be quiet? You put an awesome homemade Mac and cheese plate in front of them. Trying this recipe tonight! Thinking of adding some mozz too!

I only know what it is as I lived in the mid-west for 15 years …. I usually reheat the leftovers in a frying pan on high heat to get some extra crispy parts. I typically do not like recipe websites because of all the garbage before the actual recipe, but yours was actually good information to have! Thanks for sharing!

I wish I had found some gruyere cheese but I just used provolone and sharp cheddar. These directions are not specific enough!!! You must not be reading the actual recipe… step 3 says exactly how many cups of cheese for the sauce, inner layer, and topping. Thank you very much for this recipe!! My family loves it and I will be making it today, again!! After making only once before it officially became my go to Mac and Cheese recipe!! And I truly enjoy all of what your post has to say. Not just the recipe!

Thank you so much Nancy, that means a lot to me! I really think for many readers you would be much more effective if you kept to the recipe. We are not interested in all the rest, including your personal life. This is my website, which I run… so I will include anything I would like. Oh, my…OH, MY! WTF are you talking about? I read the whole post and everything she wrote had something to do with the food.

You sound really bitter and sad. MM, do not presume that you speak for the mass audience here. Well that was a rude comment. I always read through a whole post because often there are anecdotes that help me understand the recipe better. I roasted up all the veggies from my garden, used. My family is small. I made this incredible recipe and they loved it, however, now I need to figure out how to reheat the left overs without getting a greasy mess. Suggestions please…. Unfortunately, reheating the butter and cheese tends to separate the oils from the fat.

Are you microwaving the leftovers? Half and half is a dairy product found in grocery stores. Hello Amanda, I was looking for this cheese and mac recipe. I will try this next week. Too many choices here. You can use this or that cheese, use handfuls??? Sort of guesswork to follow. Hi Jannette… did you even scroll down to read the actual recipe? The post itself does not give out the exact recipe, as that is contained in the recipe card towards the end of the post. The full recipe lists exact measurements. For anyone who likes things a little spicy, I highly recommend adding just a bit of cayenne or Tabasco to this recipe.

The addition elevated this already great dish for me. You might want to bake it a little longer too. Stir the cheese sauce with the pasta, transfer to a baking dish, cool completely, then cover with foil and freeze for up to months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bake at for minutes. Absolutely you can freeze mac and cheese. Cover the surface with waxed or parchment paper, then wrap tightly with aluminum foil.

Made this at our last BBQ. It was a hit. Making it again today for a BBQ. Thank you for posting. Super, super creamy and just lovely. Very easy to make. Made this last night and it was fantastic. Everyone loved it. This will be my new go to recipe for mac n cheese! Best recipe ever! Do not skip the Gruyere cheese, even though it is expensive. This recipe makes enough to feed 6 at least. They will rave about this! Can this be done in a crock pot..

This is amazing! It still turned out really good. Hi Meri, half and half is a dairy product, found in near the milk and heavy cream in grocery stores. Made this dish for Easter two weeks ago and the family just requested to have it again. Simple and easy, I used Smokey Gouda and sharp white cheddar and Gruyere. This recipe was awesome. The top on dish was just as you said it would be, a nice cheesy crust- beautiful. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I made this dish yesterday for Easter and it was a hit!! Love this recipe!! This looks fabulous! I will be making this this weekend for Easter! Do you think I could make this ahead of time the night before without baking and then bake it on Sunday?

I wanted to make this so bad but I cannot eat grains so I made a compromise. I used tapioca in place of flour and gluten free macaroni. I know it is not going to be as good but it was forgiving and excellent.
