baked mac and cheese recipe no roux sour cream kalen

This isn’t some waxy boxed mac-n-cheese, people. It’s super easy to do, but a little intimidating if you’re not used to cooking. I saw him do it this way and it’s been my go-to method ever since, especially when I’m feeding more than 5 people. You can find this method just about everywhere, and I got my inspiration from watching Emeril Live back in the day. It’s the classic “ béchamel (cheese sauce) + pasta + more cheese + breadcrumb” method.

There are 3 distinct ways I prepare my macaroni and cheese. It’s totally worth the effort to make again and again. It does take patience and practice, so don’t get frustrated if you don’t get it right the first time. I didn’t nail my own macaroni and cheese until maybe the 5th time I made it. I’ve had so many terrible versions made by others…super soggy overcooked pasta, clumpy bland cheese, dry and flavorless…the list goes on. Macaroni and cheese is one of those dishes that seems super easy to make, but many people can’t get it right. I kinda get why…not too many people hate macaroni and cheese. *cracks knuckles* This may be the most requested recipe ever.
