Not true Mac n cheese, but it is very good this way. I like to make mine a meal, adding diced leftover chicken and some broccoli. For those actually interested, Mac n cheese is supposed to be made with a roux. Making his Mac and cheese this way, the bacon fat should've been left in the pan, adding garlic and flour, cook the roux for 60 seconds, adding COLD milk and chicken broth to create the bechamel, add noodles, reduce to simmer until desired consistency, add cheese & bacon, mix until melted. Serve.

There's no finesse in American cooking. It's all pile-it-high saturated fat-laden fayre. This is the guy who showed us - as if there was some kinda technique involved - how to make a burger with a donut for a bun. All I see is Sam taking a super-simple classic and telling us what he likes is what we will like. It's super patronisingly condescending. People don't watch this for knowledge; they watch as voyeurs. Nothing wrong with that of course but it does expose why the US is supermorbidly obese.

This is, basically, the risotto method, meaning the starches from the pasta are coming out and thickening the milk while the pasta is absorbing it, turning it into a creamy sauce. Such a genius way to make mac and cheese. I gotta try it. I'd probably caramelize some onions in that bacon fat before adding the milk, though.

It kills me everytime I see these mac and cheese videos and they use pre shredded cheese! Pre shredded cheese has cellulose powder on it so that it doesn't stick and clump together. The cellulose makes the sauce gritty and grainy! Shredding cheese by hand from a block makes the sauce 100x creamier.

Made this today and followed the recipe exactly. I hate to admit it. but the pre shredded cheese did make it gritty. Other than that. it was delicious and I will totally make this again! I will just shred my own cheese next time. Thanks for the great recipe!

really like this recipe the only thing I would change is adding the cheese off the heat instead of to a boiling pan. Reduces the chance of making the cheese separate and making the sauce gritty.

you should grade your own cheese because graded cheese in a bag has a coating on it so it want stick together when you leave it out block cheese better
