- Paprika
- Garlic powder
HOW TO AVOID GRAINY MAC AND CHEESE?
- Choose high-quality aged cheddar for a stronger taste and smoother texture, or opt for milder options for a more budget-friendly version.
- Grate your cheese fresh – store-bought, pre-shredded varieties don’t melt as smoothly. Let the freshly grated cheese reach room temperature, allowing it to meld perfectly with the recipe.
- Maintain a low heat throughout the process. After grating the cheese, prepare the white sauce and remove it from heat when adding the cheese, letting it melt gradually. Avoid over-stirring once the cheese has melted.
- Once your cheesy masterpiece is ready, add the noodles, quickly assemble in the pan, and pop it into the oven. Follow these simple steps for a Mac and Cheese that’s not just easy but also irresistibly smooth and flavorful!
