It didn’t taste like cheese and surely didn’t taste like my Moms. It wasn’t bad though it’s not something I honestly liked. the powdery stuff is neon orange traffic cone color I used to say. Once I hit college I had my first taste of the boxed stuff.
We’d have cut-up hot dogs, tuna fish, stewed tomatoes (GAG to this day!), cooked broccoli (hated it then but now I LOVE IT!), and so forth. Then Mom would add mix-ins to the simple butter-flour-milk-cheese-macaroni mixture. Once she had that in went pounds of cheese. Next, she’d whisk in the milk to make one of the Mother Sauces (bechamel). Mom would make up a roux (melted butter then add in some flour, and cook that for a minute). Granted I’m not sure if it really was actual cheese though.). At times we’d have to get food from the government (I don’t care what people say that gov’ment cheese was awesome. See the thing is for me I didn’t grow up on the boxed stuff. Mom knew, however, that I would always eat mac ‘n cheese. See I was that child who, while fat, was the pickiest eater EVER. Now back to what’s important… shoveling forkfuls of this luscious cheesy goodness in your pie-hole!Mac ‘n Cheese is a source of comfort for me as I’m sure it is for most of you all. The only time you bake it is if you want that crispy crunchy crust.
It’s not baked but a good ol’ fashioned stove top. This is NOT your boxed mix as my cheese does not glow in the dark nor is it neon.ģ. Sure I could have titled this post “Pasta and Cheese Sauce Extraordinaire” but yeah, that’s boring and not many would type that in to search for it.Ģ. Yes I know it’s not true macaroni noodles (I used cavatappi cause they are my favorite) so it’s truly not ‘macaroni and cheese’ per se.
