      I have 2 tips :) When using tap water to cook, always start with cold. It has a better quality than hot water, which tends to pick up more of what is in the pipes. My other suggestion is to wait until the water is boiling and then add your salt. If you add in the beginning, it has a tendency to stick to the bottom, the sides, etc. of your pan. If you add it when it's boiling it will melt right away to make saltwater and better flavor your food. It will also keep your pasta water pan cleaner. Just a couple of tweaks!

      I also think part of your struggle came from adding all of the shredded cheese in at once! I always add it in batches to make sure it all melts well

    These are my fav! Also, don't beat yourself up over it not going as "easy/quick" as you planned. That's when all of us home cooks are like "yep! that's the way it goes" and for those learning to cook with you, it's actually really beneficial to see "oh crap, my cheese isn't melting, what do i do? or oh that is too thin, what do I do?". I grew up watching my momma make Sausage and Gravy and every single time I tried to make it as an adult i would "ruin it" when the roux thickened up because I didn't realize you had to just keep stirring in the milk. UNTIL I watched someone make it on youtube & SAW her make it--then realized I was on the right track all along. I just gave up on it before I could get it thinned out.

    Yes nutmeg is always a staple in my mac but the first time I tried it I used too much and it tasted like a cheese cookie lmao definitely just need a pinch 😂😭 but I'm making the Mac this year since majority of my family requested mine. I feel so honored 🎖 😂 and the cheese is definitely alot easier to whisk into a smooth sauce when you do it by handfuls instead of the whole plate. Once all the cheese melts if you add too much milk you end up a little watery. I used to dump the whole plate in and took me a few times to figure out how to fix it. I'm going to add in cream cheese and dijon this year. That was a great idea 💡 👏🏼

    You gotta invest in a rotary grater on Amazon. You can shred a whole block of cheese in less than a minute! It’s a game changer! Plus it’s like 20ish buck. We don’t buy bagged cheese anymore, it’s life changing! Plus you won’t take a layer off your finger grating by hand lol

    One of my favorite of your recipes! The combination of cheeses is perfection! Definitely on my table this year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!
    Edit: George is adorable with his “I’m the star in this house bro!” My Yorkie Poo is the same way, he will totally ignore me until I am in the kitchen or take out my camera and then he is a diva! 😂
    Edit 2: I added my cheese and milk and it in thirds so it melted a bit more evenly. Like you said,low and slow is the secret to a great cheese sauce! I didn’t have the flavored cream cheese on hand, so I used a bit more regular cream cheese but next time I am trying the flavored cream cheese!
    Edit 3: Props to you for recognizing your mama cooking for you no matter how her day went! There are days that I gave in to the pizza delivery, but my son always said he wanted my spaghetti 😂 His big green eyes won every time!

      I’m no Jordan, but if you’re speaking of country gravy, like bacon or sausage, it could not be easier. “Two, two and two.” Two tablespoons bacon or sausage fat, two tablespoons flour, two cups milk. Make your roux with your fat and flour, add your 2 cups milk and whisk over medium heat until desired thickness. Add salt and pepper to taste and crumbled bacon/sausage as desired. Takes maybe ten minutes, and you can easily increase it (i.e., 3, 3 and 3) as needed.
