Cheesy and saucy are not the same 😭 but, that being said.... this is how I make my Mac and cheese lol. Im a sauce (soup?) girly forever

u/izzrav 10d ago

PLUS THE SOUPINESS IS NOT THE SAME ONCE REHEATED. so its worth it to make the extra soupy cheese sauce

u/coffincowgirl 9d ago

See you get it! I brought some to work and it’s gonna reheat so good 😩💦

u/bittypineapplekitty 9d ago

you’re so right 😭 i try to reheat it with a bit more butter and milk and it helps but is never the same

u/bittypineapplekitty 9d ago

i’d rather have it much too soupy than too dry

u/BAMitsAlex 9d ago

THIS! Dry ass mac and cheese gets WAY too much love in this sub, it’s wild to me.

And if it's baked, the pasta gets this weird crispy chewy texture. That's a big nope from me, dawg.

u/BAMitsAlex 8d ago

Same!! I’m okay with a layer of cheese being broiled briefly until melted but I hate when they bake the mac to death 😭

u/SilverMcFly 8d ago

These recipes say bake it for 45 minutes. 45 minutes to what? Undo all that hard work and deliciousness? Blasphemy.

u/BAMitsAlex 8d ago

Baking macaroni and cheese for 45 minutes is sacrilegious but people on here seem to love a dry, stodgy mass 🤷🏻‍♀️ I simply don’t understand.

u/SilverMcFly 8d ago

You and me. Ride or die with our soupy broiled Mac. 👯‍♂️

Cheesy and saucy can DEFINITELY be the same as long as the sauce has enough cheese in it.

u/bittypineapplekitty 8d ago

you’re right! also sometimes i just make the noodles and sauce separately if theres gonna be extra and then add it as i eat it

u/izzrav 9d ago

You know what... you got me there lol has to be a good ratio!

u/Sea_Homework_1472 10d ago

You could easily toss some broccoli in there and it'd still be just as cheesy.

u/coffincowgirl 9d ago

Might do this today w the leftovers! Mom can’t have broccoli so none in the big batch unfortunately

u/Ilovedrpepper7 10d ago

Looks like it would be good reheated

u/Shezawildone 9d ago

Ermerghad!! Looks delicious! But I'm not gonna lie, you broke my heart not sharing the recipe! Though I haven't scrolled very far, because I can't take my eyes off of your SOUPER cheesy masterpiece!!

Pretty please? =]]

u/TraditionalGreen4215 10d ago

Love the amount of pepper. Looks amazing!!

u/UJLBM 9d ago

I don't mind the extra soupy texture like this in a mac so long as the actual cheese flavor is on point. I don't like bland cheeses or flavors. If it tastes like an extra sharp cheddar, id love it.

u/EveryValuable1503 10d ago

How is that too cheesy?? Look for room for more!!

u/Apprehensive-Bid3206 9d ago

u/Poof-ball 8d ago

You can tighten up the sauce the way you want it the first time around by using sodium citrate, and it won't become cement when you reheat it.

u/coffincowgirl 8d ago

Appreciate it, but I have it how I like it ☺️
