What am I doing wrong? Grr, I want smooth cheese like at restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623358 Fri, 09 May 2014 05:58:17 +0000 blackbird 1623358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama, her chicken spaghetti is pretty nasty, too. </p> <p>@lovehoneybee, I wouldn't even know where to begin with mac and cheese! DH isn't a fan, E eats the trader joe's/annie's instant, and I'm just indifferent. But our sorority cook used to just do noodles, cheddar, velveeta, and milk. Crack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623154 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:22:10 +0000 Boheme 1623154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: @locavore_mama: I was disappointed in it too! </p> <p>I make Mac Daddy mac &amp; cheese.

The last few weeks of my pregnancy I pretty much ate an entire blue box myself--in one sitting! </p> <p>But this is a pot luck that's been planned for a while, so I feel like I should step up my game a bit ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623136 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:10:07 +0000 mlm2934 1623136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You mean other people don't just cook kraft or velvetta Mac n Cheese like me?? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623103 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:56:29 +0000 regberadaisy 1623103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I know, right?! I was disappointed because I made it extra cheesy and was so excited because my nephew is SO picky but mac &amp; cheese is his absolute fave. And he barely ate any. :( He wouldn't say he didn't like it because he's too sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623097 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:54:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 1623097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I don't think hers is the greatest either! It's not very sauce-y.</p> <p>The best mac &amp; cheese EVER is Martha Stewart's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623088 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:51:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 1623088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I apparently bookmarked this one a while ago, (<a href="http://carnaldish.com/recipes/pasta/grown-up-bacon-mac-and-cheese/#.U2w_B_ldXC8" rel="nofollow">http://carnaldish.com/recipes/pasta/grown-up-bacon-mac-and-cheese/#.U2w_B_ldXC8</a>) and I'm thinking I might try it for this particular gathering, because I don't know how everyone who will be there feels about buffalo sauce (although honestly, I sort of feel like if they don't like it they can eat something else ;) ) but I am DEFINITELY saving this recipe for us. I make up batches of buffalo chicken dip us sometimes, and if it's not all eaten up right away I use the leftovers in quesadillas or mixed into boxed mac and cheese, but this looks WAY better...yum... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623087 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:51:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1623087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a mac and cheese fan but made Pioneer Woman's recipe for the kids when they were here. It was not a huge hit with them nor with me either! :P</p> <p>I think that's the only PW recipe I made I didn't like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623084 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:49:00 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1623084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: it's amazing. It's time consuming to make &amp; makes a massive portion. We have seconds for dinner and leftovers for a week.</p> <p>I've also made a non-buffalo version for those who don't like it. I also omit chicken, unless my husband specifically requests it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623075 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:43:10 +0000 Anya 1623075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/mac-and-two-cheeses-with-caramelized-shallots" rel="nofollow">http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/mac-and-two-cheeses-with-caramelized-shallots</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-mac-and-cheese-recipe#post-1623073 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:42:44 +0000 Espion 1623073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.beechershandmadecheese.com/CheesyInfo/Recipes/FirmCheese/BeechersWorldsBestMacCheese.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.beechershandmadecheese.com/CheesyInfo/Recipes/FirmCheese/BeechersWorldsBestMacCheese.aspx</a></p> <p>This is my go to mac and cheese recipe and it is a showstopper for taste.

Got a killer recipe you wanna share? Bonus points if it includes bacon ;) </p>
