The aged cheddar provides a subtle flavor while the Monetary Jack creates a super creamy consistency because it’s a higher moisture level. Choosing the Cheese: I use sharp aged Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese for the sauce.A roux-based sauce uses flour and butter as a base with milk, then allowing the starches to swell and thicken, essentially creating a béchamel sauce.

#BEST MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE FOR CHILDREN FOR MAC#
My love for mac and cheese began like most American kids born in the ’80s, with the classic blue box of Kraft mac n’ cheese that contained two essential ingredients: elbow noodles and a packet of cheese powder that never completely dissolved. You’re going to love the crunchy panko bread crumbs on top! A combination of melty cheeses and milk helps to nail just the right creamy texture to coat those noodles. This simple recipe uses a traditional roux base to help thicken the sauce. There will be no leftovers!īaked macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. A childhood favorite noodle dish that kids will love but elevated enough that adults will devour.
