    The condensed milk also stabilizes the cheeses and the dairy making it harder for the sauce to split on you. Thanks for these great recipes!!!

  • @jsymoneguillory5563
    @jsymoneguillory5563 Місяць тому +4

    Three notes: 1.) Recipe is scrumptious!
    2.) The written recipe doesn’t include the chicken bouillon in the cheese sauce for seasoning so keep that in mind if you’re following that one 3.) be very liberal with the condensed milk. 2 tbsp is almost too much even at a 1.5 recipe of Mac (I added 1.5 and could definitely tell the sweetness was there) especially since I had to come rewatch the recipe and noticed the bouillon could’ve definitely added some saltiness to counter the condensed milk that was missing from the printable recipe.
    Happy Cooking guys!

    I find the hardest part is getting the right texture, I’ve made it wrong just about every way possible. Gluey, too much flour? Or when the sauce doesn’t stick to the noodles, I think that’s from melting the cheese with too much heat causing the fat to separate.
