It’s way cheaper if you can walk up to their booth at the local farmers market in Atlanta but wow it’s good. Their mail order prices may well be worth it if you’re a mac and cheese lover.
Made me hungry just looking at it. Looks like the way my mom used to make it. I was immediately considering ordering some, however all but the most expensive ones are out of stock. Maybe later.
that looks a lot like the mac’n’cheese we make. most people make a “cream” sauce that’s cheesy. we make a melted cheese sauce that has just enough butter and cream to make it more liquid than just melted cheese. and usually a mix of extra sharp cheddar and pepper jack. secret umami ingredients? worcestershire sauce and ground mustard.
The combination of mustard with cheddar cheese is amazing. I think also that one of the secrets to a great mac n’ cheese is baking it in the oven. For store-bought…I’ve never had anything so far that’s better than Stouffers…it’s really fine.
yup. make your cheese sauce, stir in the pasta, pour it in a baking dish, cover the top with more cheese, and bake it til it starts to brown on top (and maybe caramelize a little on the edges).
Yeah I don’t know exactly what wizardry this stuff is made with but it’s very cheddar-forward. You bake it in the oven inside a pan of 1-2” of water until the top browns and the internal temp is 165. It’s ridiculous and easy, 40 mins and done for $10, enough to serve two people with leftover. (local pickup price)
That’s practically cheaper than the ingredients would be.
