Ep. 8: Wilmar cooks macaroni and cheese

Thanks for watching my video! Please leave a comment! If you have any requests, let me know.

This is another one of my more frequently made dishes. What I love about making mac and cheese from scratch is that you can add whatever cheese you want. I kept it pretty traditional using sharp white cheddar, and some fontina cheese for texture. I used cellentani instead of elbow because I like the longer tubes and the extra surface area of cellentani. The panko topping adds a nice crunch on top, and serving it from a large enamel casserole adds more to the homey-ness of it all.

Mac and cheese makes a great side dish for grilled meats! But it's also a great stand-alone item, too.

Enjoy!

C-sucky!!! Right down the street from me. And I'm going to steal your recipe here, but then add some small pieces of pre-cooked buffalo chicken to it and serve as a casserole at a pot luck. thanks

nice recipe

[LOVESWEETREVENGE]

I don't like this recipe because its way too creamy and fattening, you can tell because it doesn't come out in nice form it just slops all over the plate. Also you didnt use cheese along with the panko for the nice crust. AND that AWFUL music OMG IT WAS EVEN MORE CHEESY THAN THE DISH.... sorry, I hope I'm not being rude just honest is all
