I made this dish last week. My daughters response: “Mom, this Mac and cheese is BUSSIN!!! Can you make this for Thanksgiving?!” Try it out y’all, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Hi!! I have a pro tip for you Mr 😍 get some baking soda and sprinkle the bottom of your pan. Add a splash of vinegar and stir to make a paste. Turn on your stove and let the pan become warm but not hot, scrub with some hot water and dawn soap. You got yourself a clean dutch oven, with no left over stains! Love mac and cheese, no matter how many recipes I can always learn something new
Today is 9/2/23.. Tomorrow, we're having our own family reunion in our city. Only the 2nd time since 1985. I was asked to bring a "signature dish"! I automatically thought to try this recipe. I'll be making a Quadruple batch. My son said "Ma, show up & show out"! 😂 I'm going to par cook my macaroni today, shred cheeses. I also made 54 mini Banana Pudding Cakes. It's going down, tomorrow at 2pm!! Nervous about the Mac, but I'll update tomorrow! Thanks Matt ❤❤
Team Rue using cream cheese; gouda; sharp cheddar; asiago; sour cream; colby and vermont . I watch many mac-n-cheese videos and watching you it is time for me to make a dish, enjoyed your video.
Mr. Make It Happen is one of the best cooking channels in UA-cam history. It’s like cooking with a homie. Much love and respect to you, Bruh, Bro, Brougham! 🙏🏽👊🏽
I saw it! I made it! I think I’ve found what I’ve spent years looking for…this is gonna be MY Mac n cheese recipe for life! My finicky children loved it….and so did I! Thank you!!
Don’t sleep on the Velveeta. One cup of Velveeta with your sharp cheddar, Gouda and pecorino gives it a more velvety texture that I absolutely love. I also throw in some Havarti to make it a party. And if you really want to be fancy use half butter, half duck fat for your flour mixture and top with toasted Panko crumbs.
@@shawne2681 interesting. I don’t notice any unpleasant aftertaste other than cheese. Are you using Velveeta from a block or something else? And are you using more than a cup?
This has been my go to recipe for the last few years and I love that each time I can just come screen shot the ingredients for a quick shopping list. The best recipe and video is really the perfect pace for me. Very simple and straight forward but thorough instructions.
When I tell you I just made 3 of your recipes for Sunday dinner and this was one of them. I replaced the Parmesan with pepper jack and man….10/10 highly recommend. God has blessed you with an amazing gift!!!
🙋🏽♀️ I used to use Velveta like my auntie taught me. 😅 But, she also put me on to condensed milk. I don’t have any Gouda but I’m making this for dinner tonight! Thank you Chef! Also, compliments to your barber. Fresh! 🤩
I love Matt's Ultimate 5 Cheese Mac & Cheese Recipe. I have been making it for the holidays for 2 -3 years now. It's so dang good, as is. I see he changed the cheeses up in this one, so I'll have to see how I like this blend compared to the other.
I have never been able to get Mac& cheese right. This Christmas (2024) ID have a choice, my husband couldn’t do it and I tried this recipe. Mr Makeithappen you saved Christmas in the Price household. Everyone loved it, Thank You for what you do and keeping it simple
!!TRUST HIM ON THE CONDENSED MILK!! My Kinfolk sometimes would add a tablespoon of Sugar, though I never did. BUT! I have followed this Fella's recipe: I've completely forgotten how I used to prepare my Macaroni & Cheese. TRUST MR. MAKE IT HAPPEN: He won't steer you wrong. 🍽️
Baked mac & cheese is the best! I like to use sharp cheddar cheese and jack cheese in mine. I like to top it with a little more sharp cheddar and parmesan before I bake it. I have try the garlic thing next time! Thanks for the recipe!👍👍👍👍👍
@@bridgetclement2968you can use a regular grater or mandolin. If you don’t have one and you’re in a tight pinch you can cut really thin slices off the block of cheese and then cut the slices into thin strips it’ll all melt down
Lord have Mercy!! Your Mac & Cheese looks sooo CREAMY AND TASTY!! Mouthwatering!! And, I esp LOVE the idea of using 5 different cheeses. Absolutely going to try your recipe. Your never ever disappoint. Thanks loads for sharing. Arlene
Looks absolutely mouthwatering! I am a southern girl, so I am typically team egg. I am not opposed to roux though. I have not tried the sweetened condensed milk trick yet. You have encouraged me to try it. I like adding a little cream cheese to my Mac and cheese along with some sour cream. ❤
Yummmmm!!! I’m a southern girl too!! But your additions sound delightful! I’d LOVE it if you could be so kind as to share your recipe with me! I would LOVE to give yours a try! Cream cheese and sour cream sounds AMAZING!!!! Also, I love your name!!! I love ALL Kims (we are AWESOME!!!!) 🥰
@@k.i.m.withkim9512 🥰 I don't really follow recipes. lol. I just throw whatever I want in there. All kinds of cheeses, beaten eggs, etc. I do find that the mixture will always look too wet and sloppy before you bake it. All of that will get absorbed by the noodles while it bakes. Trust me! I love adding cheddar, monterey jack, cream cheese, swiss or gruyere, mozzarella, parmesan and any other cheese I have in the fridge. Plus lots of black pepper and just a pinch of cayenne.
Ok sir. Came across your channel with this recipe last night. Made my list of ingredients, ran to Walmart this AM…AND…..it’s in the oven. Oh man does it look good!!! I used cheddar, Colby Jack, pepper Jack, mozzarella, Parmesan. Next time, I’ll use more cheddar. I like how you “taught”. You spoke calmly, slowly right into the camera!!! Thanks for sharing your passion. Will look for more on your channel 🫶🏽👍🏽❤️.
Ok this recipe looks incredibly delicious! The sauce after watching maybe 25 videos on this looks absolutely perfect! Moist, creamy, cheesy, and cooked to perfection! I will be doing this recipe. ❤️
Mac and Cheese is my kryptonite, lol. Well done. This looks so so good. Thank you for posting. I use, Cheddar, white American, in mine, and because I live with someone who loves heat, pepper jack. lol
Man!!! You are the first one I’ve seen who makes M&C with sweet condensed milk like my Maternal Grandmother Emma aka Gang Gang! I know this recipe ‘slaps’ 👑
Looks great!!! Love your channel. I go real simple. I use Velveeta mac&cheese and add butter, 1/2&1/2, smoked gouda, smoked provolone, American, mozzarella, and the cheese sauce that comes with the Mac. Also I bake up some cut pieces of bacon and add to it. The Mac usually comes out real sticky and gooey. Then I take a little more 1/2&1/2 to make it creamy.
I’m team Mac and Cheese - no preference at ALL!! I can eat it with the egg, with the rue, stovetop, oven baked; you name it! I’m Mrs. Mac and Cheese Connoisseur!! But Mr. MIH, I have a question…why didn’t you put your knife on sale for all of the mothers in the world? Because without us, there’d be no you all!! That would have been dope! I would have copped a few for all of my favorite women in the world!! Anyway, much love from Orange County, California!!
He’s a small business owner, he probably can’t afford to put his knives on sale for all of the holidays you think is most important. There also wouldn’t be any “you all” without fathers either, and he happens to be one, so get over yourself.
Im gonna try it this way. Little skeptical about the condensed milk but im open to trying new things! Im team roux. Love my sharp cheddar, Gouda, mozzarella, Parmesan.
Question: at 4:47, you said 2 cups of heavy cream and cup of whole milk but in the description, it says 2 cups of half and half and 1 cup of heavy cream. Which one is it? Thank you!
My local meat market often has packages of “cheese ends” - what’s left from slicing - these are packages of a variety of cheeses and great to use for Mac and cheese.
I use: extra sharp cheddar, gruyere, parmesan, and sometimes a little mozzarella for fun stretchy cheese pulls (and so I can say it's 4 cheese). Team roux all the way. Never added a single egg to any baked mac'n'cheese. I don't usually add garlic because I'm afraid it'll overpower most of the cheese flavor, but after seeing a bunch of recipes that all include garlic, I might reconsider. I also usually use cayenne instead of paprika, but most people on here seem to use paprika, so I might reconsider that too. (And I use a LOT more white pepper than you do!) To be honest, I've never been a fan of adding a layer of shredded cheese as a topping, as it always comes out too oily for my taste. It's buttered panko + finely grated parmesan for me. I love the crunch.
Use a full 1/4 portion of mozzarella. It helps the consistency in every way. You are right to stay away from the garlic in this dish. But I'd rather have paprika than cayenne unless your intention is to make a spicy version. I also use bread crumbs for that crunch. I just lay out a nice layer of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs on top and then sprinkle a little Parmesan on top of that. Just right!
Your recipes are always top-tier and never miss! I tried your way of making mac cheese and boy was it chef's kiss. You have the best cooking channel on UA-cam.
I am going to try this version for Mother's Day. I did your other one (heavy cream, half and half) last week and I had 7 different cheeses, lol. I was cleaning out the frig and didn't realize what I used until a friend asked what I used. It was good!!!
This is hands down the best mac and cheese recipe I’ve tried this is my go to for family dinners and it’s always a hit. I use the old video tho this has some updates
No roux, no egg. Velveeta, pepper jack cheese, half-and-half, butter and chicken bouillon the best mac & cheese I’ve ever had and Is one of my favorite foods since childhood. Ever since I made this recipe my husband says don’t try any other one this is the winner and when I take it to any function I’m always asked for the recipe. Yours looks very good also!
@@sherikrause4465 oh I see what you mean. You melt your cheese. I know some make their mac and cheese with solid chunks or shredded cheese on top of the noodles, then put in the oven. I melt my cheese first like you do.
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Never going back to my old recipe 💪🏾😊🔥 I Love Every recipe I've made by him!! You Are the real MVP❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I’m making Mac and cheese… I like using pepper Jack along with some other cheeses. I learned from my mom and she always made Mac and cheese by making a rue..so that’s how I continue to make it.
That looks so good, I should never watch your videos when I am hungry. I am team egg, but have been exposed to the cheese sauce mac and cheese and I must say it pretty darn tasty. I like to combine sharp cheddar and gruyere cheese in my mac and cheese.
I love watching you make these decadent dishes. I also love the most that you always use quality, full fat (milk, cream butter, cheeses, etc.) There is no point in going through all the trouble of making something and using "lite" or poor quality ingredients!
I have got to try making m & c with a roux/cheese sauce one day. I usually just put the semi-cooked pasta in an aluminum pan, add heavy cream, sour cream, jalapeño cream cheese, seasonings, cheese cubes and shredded cheese, (both from block), mix, then add more shredded on top, then hot hungarian paprika and bake (covered, then uncovered). I am willing to try something new. 🥘♥️
I add eggs to keep that consistency when it sit afterwards and cooked in that oven. It maintains that creamy texture and not stiff, but if there is enough sauce and cheese- milk- It shouldn’t get too stiff. But I like what you did and it looks good! Mac and cheese is so good especially when it doesn’t dry out. You got it going on!
I love this mix of cheeses: Colby Jackson, mozzarella, sharp cheddar and Boursin cheese, the onion and herb flavor and I’m team roux, I make your recipe because I love it and my family does also.
I always use velveeta as a base but add others cheeses like cheddar, gouda, muenster, and colby jack. I sprinkle parm and cheddar on top before I put it in the oven.
I've been following you for a few weeks and decided to make Mac and cheese using this recipe. I've made it my way several times but I tell you your recipe is gonna be it from now on. The use of the rue without egg is sooo yummy 😋. And your method is less time consuming. Thanks 😊. Hubby is quite happy 😊. Lol 😆 🤣
I only use extra sharp or sharp cheddar just yellow or sometimes mixed with the white and yellow block cheese, butter, can milk, no eggs and it be cheesy. I known about the rue cheese sauce just never tried it but have had some from others that do make it and yes it’s good. In a way am old fashioned and it never disappointed me yet. Macaroni and cheese look delicious. Enjoy thanks for sharing.
Perfect, I'm a Mac and cheese nut and this has everything needed, I might even throw it on the smoker kicking up the heat! And I always laugh at the sounds, cooking or social media 😂😂
This mother's day im adding the sweeten condense milk. Ive been making a rue since culinary school back in 2007. My family never knew lol. This is ny 3rd mother's day without my Queen so its a must I show out by bringing my mac and cheese and res velet cake. She loves them both. I typically use sharp chedaar, mild, mozzarella and Parmigiano. Thanks Matt
The sweet condensed milk makes perfect sense to me!! Please don’t laugh everyone, our family ate Mac and cheese with sugar sprinkled on top ALWAYS! Yes, with everything that you put in there, we will still sprinkle the sugar on top when serving. I will try your recipe!
Love love love making homemade mac n cheese! I use whatever cheese I have, which is usually mozzarella, havarti, gouda, swiss, etc. I have never heard of using egg in this recipe, nor have I seen a recipe requiring it! So, I do the roux.... going to try this recipe next time.
Looks great. Very rich. Not for the lactose intolerant. I include some pepper Jack. Am very interested in trying the sweetened condensed milk. Yes for Thanksgiving!
I have recently just gotten into making the mac and cheese, and as a matter of fact my daughter told me that last batch I made was better then the Chick Fil-a's mac and cheese. So I took that as a compliment and a win! I loved the flavor the smoked gouda added to the dish. Now my only question is how do I prevent the excess oil that happens when you reheat it?
I usually use extra sharp cheddar, cream cheese, pepper jack, mozzarella, sour cream, and half & half. I used to put the mac in an aluminum pan, add shredded & cubed cheese, seasonings, and milk, top with shredded and bake. This will be my 1st time making it with a roux. Gonna give it a test run before Thanksgiving. 🥘💙
Getting ready to practice this so I can have it down by Thanksgiving. Since I heard you speak on anti-caking agent, I bought an electric cheese grater. I have hand pain issues, so it helps a lot. I use parm often in cooking and also grate much cheese for soups and chili. No going back to grating by hand for me. This will be my 1st time making it with a cheese sauce so, fingers crossed 🤞🏽. 🥘💙
I made this dish last week. My daughters response: “Mom, this Mac and cheese is BUSSIN!!! Can you make this for Thanksgiving?!” Try it out y’all, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
I make this mess at the station for my thanksgiving throw in… it’s a hit every time.
I made this for Thanksgiving it was a hit! Question tho is how did you reheat it bc we got leftovers?
@@countryboy8643 I just put it in the microwave. But I put a microwave lid over to kind of steam it a little and melt the cheese a little better
@@SimplyKrissy88
Ok thanks for replying
either im slow or i just dont have that baked mac and cheese razzle dazzle in me because i cant get it to hit at all, like ever lol

How was it ?
Thanks for the pro-tip about the shredded cheese. I always hear don't use pre-shredded but never hear why. Super appreciate that
Everything I'm cooking for Thanksgiving this year is from your recipes ❤
I tried out this Mac & Cheese this year Nov. 2023 and it was a hit. My family loved it. 😍 Thanks for the recipe. 👍

absolutely!
I'm gonna make it the whway you did it

Thank you!
Wondering the same thing 10months later lol
I did 2 cups half n half and 1 cup heavy cream… worked perfect
My local meat market often has packages of “cheese ends” - what’s left from slicing - these are packages of a variety of cheeses and great to use for Mac and cheese.
Looks delicious; will have to try. I usually use a combination of Gruyere and Tilamook Sharp Cheddar (I'm on the west coast)

Smoked Gouda, Muenster and some sharp but I use the same seasonings but also add 2 teaspoons of mustard. Paprika and mustard brings it to life 🤤
Standard mustard or the sharper mustard?
@FrontSide_Krimzz Moms always used standard. French's to be exact. Just 2 teaspoons for standard 13x9 if making a smaller pan reduce it.
Nicee, thanks! 👌🏾
@@Kingofkings29 You are actually supposed to use mustard *powder.*
I'm team Mac & cheese with a roux base. I'll definitely try all five of the cheese you recommend in the recipe.
When I’m making Mac and cheese… I like using pepper Jack along with some other cheeses.
I learned from my mom and she always made Mac and cheese by making a rue..so that’s how I continue to make it.
When you said Gouda, I said what you talking about?? Gouda is the Bees knees !!!! I use to use eggs but I will try this cause it looks Yummilish!!!
That looks so good, I should never watch your videos when I am hungry. I am team egg, but have been exposed to the cheese sauce mac and cheese and I must say it pretty darn tasty. I like to combine sharp cheddar and gruyere cheese in my mac and cheese.
I have cooked several of your recipes so I’m not going to question the sweet milk
I love watching you make these decadent dishes. I also love the most that you always use quality, full fat (milk, cream butter, cheeses, etc.) There is no point in going through all the trouble of making something and using "lite" or poor quality ingredients!
I have got to try making m & c with a roux/cheese sauce one day. I usually just put the semi-cooked pasta in an aluminum pan, add heavy cream, sour cream, jalapeño cream cheese, seasonings, cheese cubes and shredded cheese, (both from block), mix, then add more shredded on top, then hot hungarian paprika and bake (covered, then uncovered). I am willing to try something new. 🥘♥️
This looks so good and my fav cheese combo is gouda, sharp and muenster. I use cream cheese as my secret ingredient.
I add a couple slices of American for the emulsifier
Looks very good. I add a bit of nutmeg to my white sauce before adding cheese, and I think instead of the smoked Gouda, I would use guyerie.
I add eggs to keep that consistency when it sit afterwards and cooked in that oven. It maintains that creamy texture and not stiff, but if there is enough sauce and cheese- milk- It shouldn’t get too stiff. But I like what you did and it looks good! Mac and cheese is so good especially when it doesn’t dry out. You got it going on!
I love this mix of cheeses: Colby Jackson, mozzarella, sharp cheddar and Boursin cheese, the onion and herb flavor and I’m team roux, I make your recipe because I love it and my family does also.
Yep, looks fantastic and I’m thrilled there’s no egg in this! 👏🏽😊
I thank God for you and your channel. My family loved this recipe. It was absolutely amazing. One guest had four bowels. ❤
I tried this recipe tonight and it was a hit!
Definitely Bussin!!!🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely the BEST I've tested. Thanks for sharing.
I always use velveeta as a base but add others cheeses like cheddar, gouda, muenster, and colby jack. I sprinkle parm and cheddar on top before I put it in the oven.
I've been following you for a few weeks and decided to make Mac and cheese using this recipe. I've made it my way several times but I tell you your recipe is gonna be it from now on. The use of the rue without egg is sooo yummy 😋. And your method is less time consuming. Thanks 😊. Hubby is quite happy 😊. Lol 😆 🤣
I only use extra sharp or sharp cheddar just yellow or sometimes mixed with the white and yellow block cheese, butter, can milk, no eggs and it be cheesy. I known about the rue cheese sauce just never tried it but have had some from others that do make it and yes it’s good. In a way am old fashioned and it never disappointed me yet. Macaroni and cheese look delicious. Enjoy thanks for sharing.
Perfect, I'm a Mac and cheese nut and this has everything needed, I might even throw it on the smoker kicking up the heat!
And I always laugh at the sounds, cooking or social media 😂😂
This mother's day im adding the sweeten condense milk. Ive been making a rue since culinary school back in 2007. My family never knew lol. This is ny 3rd mother's day without my Queen so its a must I show out by bringing my mac and cheese and res velet cake. She loves them both. I typically use sharp chedaar, mild, mozzarella and Parmigiano. Thanks Matt
happy mothers day!
@@MrMakeItHappen aht aht no babies over here sir. I'm the world's best auntie 😌
The sweet condensed milk makes perfect sense to me!! Please don’t laugh everyone, our family ate Mac and cheese with sugar sprinkled on top ALWAYS! Yes, with everything that you put in there, we will still sprinkle the sugar on top when serving. I will try your recipe!
I ❤️ velveeta block and heavy whipping cream 👀 boy it is so creamy. Salt pepper lil accent. Supper creamy
This is how I make mine, I love the roux method and different cheeses
Really like the addition of smoked gouda!👍
Havarti, with ur sharps is surprisingly where the taste is at when u baking up Mac and cheese…. Delicious
Making this recipe for thanksgiving ❤ Thank you for sharing!!!
Keep those recipes coming! I cook your recipes!
Love love love making homemade mac n cheese! I use whatever cheese I have, which is usually mozzarella, havarti, gouda, swiss, etc. I have never heard of using egg in this recipe, nor have I seen a recipe requiring it! So, I do the roux.... going to try this recipe next time.
Looks great. Very rich. Not for the lactose intolerant. I include some pepper Jack. Am very interested in trying the sweetened condensed milk. Yes for Thanksgiving!
I have recently just gotten into making the mac and cheese, and as a matter of fact my daughter told me that last batch I made was better then the Chick Fil-a's mac and cheese. So I took that as a compliment and a win! I loved the flavor the smoked gouda added to the dish. Now my only question is how do I prevent the excess oil that happens when you reheat it?
Smoked Gouda. Okaaay. I hadn't seen that added before. I add egg to mine. Muenster is the twist in my recipe.
I will definitely be trying this recipe. I love fontina in mac and cheese so I might add that to this.
I just love the fork drop!!!!
I usually use extra sharp cheddar, cream cheese, pepper jack, mozzarella, sour cream, and half & half. I used to put the mac in an aluminum pan, add shredded & cubed cheese, seasonings, and milk, top with shredded and bake. This will be my 1st time making it with a roux. Gonna give it a test run before Thanksgiving. 🥘💙
OMG it looks sooooo good. Mouth is watering. Love your reactions after the taste test! LOL 😂
My fav is baked but im just team mac all the way,Im def trying this one out and am interested in the condescended milk flavor!
Getting ready to practice this so I can have it down by Thanksgiving. Since I heard you speak on anti-caking agent, I bought an electric cheese grater. I have hand pain issues, so it helps a lot. I use parm often in cooking and also grate much cheese for soups and chili. No going back to grating by hand for me. This will be my 1st time making it with a cheese sauce so, fingers crossed 🤞🏽. 🥘💙
