I painstakingly made him from scratch mac n cheese last time because he LOVES it. Was he a fan? Nope. What does he like more? Kraft Mac N Cheese or Panera Mac N Cheese. What an insult! Hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809937 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:41:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 1809937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Ina Gardner recipe on the food network site is amazing and creamy and delicious. Very high fat of course. It's pretty easy, though not as easy at lawbees. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809654 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:47:54 +0000 Grace 1809654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one is awesome.

Drain well and then I add in a lump of butter and a bit of milk. I then just stir in the laughing cow. It's how my mom made it for me when I was little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809618 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:37:37 +0000 blackbird 1809618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In college, our sorority cook made mac and cheese with velveeta, milk, and butter. It was pretty creamy </p> <p>@looch, I do hot pasta with chive and onion cream cheese for E in a pinch, HAHA!

It is TO DIE FOR. I'll send it to you tonight when I get home. And shockingly, I actually know where it is! One of the first things I unpacked!!!</p> <p>Also, I did enjoy the mac and cheese you made me, just to be clear!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809585 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:26:08 +0000 Mamaof2 1809585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: this is how my mom makes it and its good but not creamy compared to Kraft mac-n-cheese.</p> <p>My kids will only eat the Kraft and I am trying to get away from artificial colors when I can (Tried Annies and one from Trader Joes and they didn't like it)</p> <p>How does the laughing cow work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809562 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:17:55 +0000 Freckles 1809562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the bechamel cheese sauce. It sounds hard, but super easy and very creamy! The trick is to keep whisking and keep the heat low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809466 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:40:25 +0000 Smurfette 1809466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Well this is for us for dinner but I want her to eat the leftovers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809451 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:37:50 +0000 looch 1809451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: A bechamel sauce is one of the mother sauces, you basically melt some butter in a pan, and then add in a few tablespoons of flour and stir. When it becomes pale yellow and holds together, add in warmed milk and then you stir until thickened. Once you have it thickened, you add in the shredded cheese and stir until melted. It's a great way to make mac and cheese because the cheese won't get stringy or separated.</p> <p>But in truth, the way I make mac and cheese for my son is to melt a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese in hot pasta, so.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809431 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:29:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1809431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine comes out rather cheesy and creamy. I use at least a 1:1 ratio pasta to cheese.</p> <p>My most recent super creamy concoction was this:</p> <p>16 oz total split between sharp cheddar and gouda<br /> Half cup whipping cream<br /> 1 egg (whisk)<br /> 12 oz cooked macaroni </p> <p>after draining the pasta, add egg &amp; any seasoning you want<br /> On stove top, stir in the shredded cheese and cream<br /> then add pasta for a few last stirs<br /> place cheesy pasta mix into baking dish<br /> I always top with something, but I don't know if that helps with keeping the mac &amp; cheese creamy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809427 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:28:54 +0000 Smurfette 1809427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I don't even know what that is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809396 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:20:00 +0000 looch 1809396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you know how to make a bechamel sauce? If I am feeling fancy, I make a bechamel with a white roux and milk. Then I stir in shredded cheese until it melts, pour over cooked pasta and then transfer the goodness to a baking pan and bake until the outside gets golden brown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809392 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:18:18 +0000 lawbee11 1809392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's my recipe:</p> <p>Purchase box of Velveeta shells &amp; cheese<br /> Open said box and add to boiling water<br /> Once it's done drain and add overly processed yet delicious cheese sauce<br /> Eat that shiz!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/creamy-mac-n-cheese-recipe#post-1809388 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:15:48 +0000 Smurfette 1809388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All my recipes aren't as creamy and R won't eat them. </p> <p>ILs are coming up this weekend so I need one for this weekend, so something super easy would be nice. </p>
