  • This rich and creamy baked mac and cheese with a delicious cheese sauce and crunchy, buttery breadcrumb topping is a decadent treat that takes comfort food to the next level! It's easy to make and the perfect side dish for the holidays or anytime you're looking to please everyone at the table.
    RECIPE: preppykitchen....
    Homemade baked mac & cheese will be your go-to dish once you learn to make it the right way! Sure, boxed mac and cheese is good BUT it can’t hold a candle to this. The panko and parmesan topping is beyond delicious and the perfect compliment to that gooey, cheesy filling.

    So I love John because he makes mistakes and says "Oops" and just moves on. I love how his pans show wear and tear on the outside because when you see other cooks their pans look so perfect like they never stain the outside of them. He spilled milk and just kept going. This is real cooking. I love it. Nice to know that other chefs have messy pans that they can't clean off on the outside but have been used often and it is just refreshing! Thanks John!

    John is my go-to recipe guy and guru since I found him online a couple of years ago. If it's not within his repertoire of recipes I change my meal direction and consider something else. I figure if he didn't find it interesting enough to cook himself then why should I. He also seems to not only enjoy the cooking but the eating as well. The only online chef with whom I could see myself breaking bread.

    Delicious and easy. The bread crumbs are awesome. I didn’t fry them though. Combined them with melted butter and put them on top. Then convected at 400 degrees and they turned out perfectly crispy and brown. One less pan to wash too.

    Milk should be cold out the fridge for white sauce otherwise you gets lumps. And you can definitely prepare it in a pot and avoid spilling. The heavy cream is not necessary but you can substitute a part of the milk with cream. The ratio for a thick cheese sauce is 1/1/10 butter/flour/liquid and cheese to taste. Cheese will thicken the sauce considerably.
