Mama needs her own channel, story telling and teaching, teaching everything around the house, family and Bible. She’s has so much to teach us. I’m waiting for it!
I will watch anything with Mama B in it. She definitely needs her own TH-cam and she can talk about anything. Her faith, family - just anything and I will watch. I will definitely be trying this Mac n cheese. Thanks Zach. Love watching both you and your mom.
I hate cleaning up the spills in the oven so I usually put my casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch the drips. Thanks for another recipe Mama B and Zach. I look forward to making this.
Love you all! Thank you for teaching me this recipe!!!! The Lord used your family to soften my heart to move away from where all my family is from the last few generations. We moved to Crossville TN in 2021. We discovered your family's tv show in December of 2020 and watched all the seasons up to that point that winter with our kids. God knew how to soften my heart to get me to move across the country. I love it here and hope someday that we can come visit your church in Rocky Top and worship our God with you folks. Much love and thanks again.
If you can believe it, we didn’t even plan that! Honestly, it was last-minute. I called her and said hey you wanna come over and cook this cause I’m about to film and would love to have you since it was grandad’s and we just did it!
Love, love, love seeing you and momma Bates cooking in the kitchen together. By the way, she's looking so good these days, and red is definitely her color. Love you guys❤️
Oh my, oh my oh my! Ive been waiting for this recipe!!!!! I thought i could smell it as you were making it😊 cant wait to make. Thank you Mrs Bates and Zach... Blessings
I always line my oven rack with aluminum foil when I make something like this to keep the cheese from boiling over to the bottom of my oven. Chick-fil-A has the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted. If this tastes anything like that, I'm sure I will love it. It's always such a treat to see your beautiful Mama in the kitchen cooking with you!
Take me home, forget the country roads, lol. As with most American families, I grew up with mac and cheese, but I only ever had stove top mac and cheese, and it was good. I didn't know what I was missing until I had my first baked mac and cheese. As with all Momma Bates recipes, this looks AMAZING! Loved seeing y'all cooking together again. They're my favorites.
No Zach! If you can do this, then I can do this.. it absolutely looks amazing. And a big hello to Mrs Bates 😊. Just loved watching you all on the show. God Bless you all
You all are my kind of cooks....im so making this today. My mac and cheese always comes out different, not consistant at all . Would be nice to have it the same all the time!!!! Love your shows.
Yummy! I'll be saving this to fix for church dinners. My mom always used a fork to whisk her eggs, etc, too. She never owned an actual whisk. I love seeing your mother sharing recipes!
This looks absolutely delicious..gonna have to share this with everyone..it was so wonderful watching you and your mom cooking together again..hope you all get to gather together and enjoy this with your family this month ❤
Thank you, Zach and Kelly Jo! I can't wait to make this! My 5 grandchildren already think that my macaroni and cheese is the best because it's homemade. 😊 Looks like I'm going to up my "Grammie" game.😊 Thanks for the recipe! We love you and your family, and are consistently praying for you! Sandy, from New.
I can't wait to try this made the Bates way! My family fav is a homemade from scratch stove top mac n cheese, but I can see how baking it would allow the flavors to intensify more. Speaking of flavors...I add ground mustard - it intensifies the cheese flavor. I also add either a generous pinch of nutmeg OR a generous pinch of cayenne. It's just that little something in the background that enhances but does not overpower the cheesy flavor. But I'll be making the Bates version very soon. Thanks for sharing Mama Bates with us and sharing sweet Bates memories. And BTW, it is much more nutritious than the box because it's made with fresh, wholesome ingreadients instead of powdered cheese that who knows what kind of preservatives are in there.
I just made this recipe for the first time tonight, and I can't thank you enough for posting this video! It was absolutely delicious, and I didn’t change a thing. I highly recommend everyone give it a try!
I absolutely love your family ( Bates), you and your mama. I am so glad found yall on TV long ago. Been a fan ever since. Live the way yall live and it's just a joy to watch.❤❤ I want mama Bates to make me an honorary Bates for a week. 😅
Thanks for sharing another one of your families recipes I can’t wait to make it. Also please tell Mama B she looks amazing and ask her what her secret is to looking so young. God bless you all. ❤
I never thought of using saltine crackers for this. I've also never thought of layering it this way. I may have to try it this way. I have also heard of several people serving mac and cheese casserole for Thanksgiving. That's not something I grew up eating for Thanksgiving but I may have to serve it one year. When I was growing up, we had my granny's homemade chicken and egg noodles. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into Thanksgiving in your family. By the way, I love it when your mama is on. I don't personally know her but every time I see her, it's like catching up with a really good friend.
Looks delicious I will be preparing this for Thanksgiving love seeing you and your mom together cooking mama Bates You look beautiful what an amazing family and thank you for always sharing. God bless.❤
Macaroni and cheese! One of my favorite comfort meals. Always make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Your mom's recipe looks pretty tasty! will have to try her recipe. 😋👍🏻👍🏻
This might be annother recipe that i am not familar with. Might try in January when we need the warmth of oven and warm food while winds from Canada blow . MONDAY we will do you Knoxville Chili recipe... husband is helping in the kitchen and we are using our Smithey Cast iron . He bought me the whole set 3 yrs ago and i love it!
Zach, that looks sooooo yummy and delicious! I love it when you have your Mom in the kitchen cooking with you! I'm hungry for some Mac and cheese now! Really enjoyed your video.
Thank you for sharing this method of making mac and cheese. I've never thought to make mac and cheese without making a bechamel sauce, which is very time consuming. I tried out your method for dinner tonight, but sized down for less people and it turned out very good.
I was a little nervous that this would be as good as it looked. It was fantastic and I don’t say that lightly about Mac n cheese recipes. Perfect for TG table! Thanks so much !
Fabulous dish! Zach- You taught me a new way to use the grater! Two things that you can do to protect your oven from spills are aluminum foil or your rack and putting your casserole dish on a baking tray to catch any spills ❤
Mama needs her own channel, story telling and teaching, teaching everything around the house, family and Bible. She’s has so much to teach us. I’m waiting for it!
I’ll pass that along to her!
I agree!!
Oh yes, I definitely agree! I love Mama B!😊
Yes please!
Absolutely!!! Agree.
I will watch anything with Mama B in it. She definitely needs her own TH-cam and she can talk about anything. Her faith, family - just anything and I will watch. I will definitely be trying this Mac n cheese. Thanks Zach. Love watching both you and your mom.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love the interaction between mom and son. The recipes are great, but it is the relationship that is really worth watching. ❤
That means a lot. Thanks for watching!
I tried this with Gluten-free noodles and saltines and it was delicious!!
Mama B is looking good! I've noticed over the last year she looks like she has lost weight. Love all the Bates!
I thought the same with it looks like she lost some weight. Always looking amazing momma b
I was thinking the same thing when I saw her in a stew crew vlog!
She’s been playing pickle ball!
I hope it’s not Ozempic. I’ve seen some scary reports on that medication and Mama Bates is too treasured to risk.
And she somehow looks younger too! Such a sweet lady!
I love how sweet and respectful they speak. I miss that in general
I think your mom should have her own cooking channel on the cooking channel. She would be SO POPULAR ❤❤
I’d watch it!
Thank you for many years of family entertainment ❤
Thank you so much for watching and keeping up! We have enjoyed getting to be a part of yalls lives and getting to share a bit of ours!
I love this family so much!! All of their children are so respectful and helpful!!just love them so much!!
I hate cleaning up the spills in the oven so I usually put my casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch the drips. Thanks for another recipe Mama B and Zach. I look forward to making this.
That is such a great tip! I am going to start doing that.
I definitely would also!!
I just bought everything to make this for my hubby for Christmas! He’s so excited! Mac-n-cheese is his favorite!
He’s gonna love it!
Momma hasn't been eating mac & cheese. She's melting away! Looking great Kelly.
Love you all! Thank you for teaching me this recipe!!!! The Lord used your family to soften my heart to move away from where all my family is from the last few generations.

I love how they are wearing matching colors!! They look great!!
If you can believe it, we didn’t even plan that! Honestly, it was last-minute. I called her and said hey you wanna come over and cook this cause I’m about to film and would love to have you since it was grandad’s and we just did it!
I love that you cook with your mama, and your children. I started each of my kids in the kitchen really young, and now they all cook really well.
That’s so great to hear! I’m all about getting the little ones involved in the kitchen!
Hi, you have done a excellent job on raising your family you can see it . God bless you and your husband.
Thank you so much 🙂
Love this! I'm definitely making this for Christmas! Love your family!
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoy them!
Love, love, love seeing you and momma Bates cooking in the kitchen together. By the way, she's looking so good these days, and red is definitely her color. Love you guys❤️
I’ll tell her you said that!

Chick-fil-A has the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted. If this tastes anything like that, I'm sure I will love it. It's always such a treat to see your beautiful Mama in the kitchen cooking with you!
I love that tip! You know, we try to get as much of it into the casserole dish as possible, but sometimes it just bubbles over!
Oh, that looks delicious! Homemade is always best! Thanks for sharing your family recipe, I see the love you put into it!
You are so right! This is one of our favorites, so glad you liked it!
Mercy I love it when Mama Bates shows up to help (Kelly Jo) your amazing sweetie. Love Zach cooking and loves those that stop by.
I always have fun when I get to cook with someone else!
Another great recipe and always happy to see Mama Bates
I love cooking with her!

Mama. Bates looks so good
She slimmed down a good bit
Momma Bates in the house 📣 Zach, Thanks for the cheese grating tip, to lay down the grater 💡 🧀 The Mac and Cheese looks delicioso 😋
You're welcome! I'm so glad you love it!
Oh my goodness this WILL be made in our home.
Sounds like it’s gonna be a happy home!!!
I was a little nervous that this would be as good as it looked. It was fantastic and I don’t say that lightly about Mac n cheese recipes. Perfect for TG table! Thanks so much !
I’m glad it lived up to expectations! Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving!
Loved this episode
So glad to hear this!
Fabulous dish! Zach- You taught me a new way to use the grater!
Two things that you can do to protect your oven from spills are aluminum foil or your rack and putting your casserole dish on a baking tray to catch any spills ❤
I'm always looking for new tips! Thanks for sharing those!
Mmmmm. Looks good!
This recipe is a must-try! So good!
Your mom is so cute 🥰
That must be where I get it from 😂
I think it’s so sweet that Zach is like his Granddaddy.
I hope he is proud!
