Love to see Chef John making a detour through flavour town
You are after all your own food network clown of flavor town.
No joke, my grandma's been making that EXACT recipe since my childhood almost 40 years ago. It's eerie how close you got the procedure.
I was going to ask if this would be acceptable for kids, since I have 4 grandsons who only agree on mac and cheese!
@@ldority123 Yea it's great. You can also add protein to it like bacon or even leftover chicken or turkey. It's like a basis for all kinds of sides. But it shines as a quick and easy yet filling afternoon pick-me-up when you have basic ingredients.
@@MilitantOldLady YES... love the idea of bacon:)
My grandmother made almost same thing but without the sugar. Gotta admit...I never liked it. But loved Kraft mac n cheese...which I never tasted until I was 20 years old😆 She called it Macaroni Pie...fixed it in a pie pan. Family LOVED it. I was only one that would rather die than eat it.
Chef John is your grandmother
Ok, hear me out. Make two layers of this cake. Make a batch of Chef John's buffalo chicken dip. Use the dip as the frosting for mac and cheese buffalo chicken layer cake.
"Although since we're making mac & cheese cake, I'm sure four-twenty would have been fine."
I love how you just slipped that one in there. Well done. Well done indeed.
Hi, what does 4-20 stand for please?

I came here to say this.😂😂😂

Chef John remembered, but chose not to say 'Round the outside, round the outside' as he was lifting that macaroni cake; for creative reasons of course.
I also like to think Chef John posted this video specifically for my birthday. Thanks John! I hate sweet cake.
😂
"Id like to thank that 'Guy'". Too funny. When Chef John gets tired of cooking he needs to get into stand-up.
I mean, he's always cooking up his next terrible pun which never disappoints.
😂such a 😎 fiery comment! 😊
I bet this would be great as muffins!!
Great idea, youd probably have to adjust the cooking time but youd get more crunchy edges :p
To make it extra fancy, make a cheese sauce and drizzly it across the cake. A spicy cheese sauce!
Buffalo sauce. You're welcome.
Buffalo queso. YOU'RE welcome
I was thinking on the same lines. But a very well seasoned tomato sauce or stewed tomatoes
"I'm sure 4:20 would've been fine" 😂😂😂😂
I love this guy SO MUCH. And I'm SOOOO making this. 😂
This is something I could see myself bringing to a barbecue.
And ain’t nobody eating it! Bring it to a potluck instead and EVERYONE will have a bite!
I'm thinking using a muffin tin to make individual portions is the way to go for a group/potluck setting.
look up english pasta bakes, that's what this is
With a cheese bbq sauce drizzle on the side... Great call!

In the Caribbean a closely related dish is called macaroni pie (you can find a lot of recipes for it). The flour is minimal if at all and unleavened; generally the egg and dairy are enough to bind it. It is also often given a top crust of crushed crackers, spices and cheese.
I think I had a version of what you're talking about from Guyanese friends. So good.
Mustard powder??!!
@@237dman you most definitely did, my mother used to serve it along side fried chicken growing up

@@kellymoore8773 you don't know what it is or you're surprised at its inclusion?
Chef John deserves ALL the awards!
I hope you win all the awards, Chef John. Even completely unrelated ones.
I made two of these, cut them in half lengthwise and made it like a layered cake. The filling of the layers was blue cheese mixed with cheese, it was so yummy.
Man that sounds criminally good😮!!
Brilliant!
I was gonna have a layer of meatloaf between the Mac and cheese layers
4-20 😂😂😂 made me laugh out loud a bit too much! Clever man!
This is bubbling away in the oven right now! I cannot wait for a little Chef John comfort food on Friday night :)
Was it good? ✨✨✨😊
@@PACormier Yes! Super easy to make and the fam gave it a double thumbs up. Paired it with a salad to make it a full meal.
The humor is there - The flower blowing off the cake! The 4/20 reference!! Tone of voice is sounding like it used to back in the heydays!!! I've complained about that in other vids a little but this is sounding more like the old Chef John back when I used to leave comments on the Foodwishes site =D
Ched john entering his unhinged era omg ❤
This is a super common West Indian/ Caribbean dish!
Oh how clever. I know what we will be having with the ribs this weekend.
I loved the 4/20 reference for Mac lovers
Interesting! The flowers really made it picture-worthy. Great job!
Your voice and cadence are great. Love listening to your recipes!
'Since we're making Mac and Cheese cake I'm sure 4:20 would've been fine'. Subtle, chef.
Happy Birthday Chef John!!!
Dressed up for Spring!
Excellent for picnics!
And as always... A thing of beauty! 🥰 🥳
Best 420 ref ever!! So slick
I love the purple violets to decorate!
Violas!
Oh, man, I just made Mac & Cheese the day before yesterday. I wish I'd had this recipe then, since this looks so much more convenient and less time-consuming. I probably won't "give it a try soon," but I'll definitely print the recipe and try it next time I make Mac & Cheese.
I know what I'm making tonight. Thanks for the recipe Chef John. 👍❤️
This looks fabulous. I think I'll add a layer of toasted breadcrumbs on top before baking.
You were so concerned with whether you could, you never stopped to ask if you should!
I’m in love with all your recipes chef John
This looks HEAVENLY!
very very nice thank you chef john
I make Mac & Cheese in an Instant Pot. Easy, quick & delicious.
I need your recipe!!!
chef john you bring me so much joy 💜
A staple for the kids in my family, my great grandma ised to make it too
Another great video Chef John. I can't wait to make this.
Everyone say thank you Mr. Fieri
WOW, you've really outdone yourself with this! This is amazing and looks delicious😜
3:17 “4:20” 😂 it would be fine indeed, Chef John
Chef John is my absolute favorite chef!
Looks like a lovely and delicious dish 💛
Chef John,
You are a master in the kitchen! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

It's my birthday this week... It's like Chef John heard my heart's desire. 😍
What a unique recipe!
Outstanding! I grew up with baked Mac n cheese, so this is perfect!
Will make this Chef John, guaranteed!
Amusing and delightful, plus your recipes are fantastic & easy to follow…. Thank you!!! 😂🥰💜👍
Love Mac and cheese. The cake looks so delicious. I’m going to try it.
Nod to the 4:20, always a great time for mac & cheese :)
❤️❤️❤️ to see the "outtakes"!!🪻😂😂
It's Smiling at me!!! 7:07
Now I know what kind of cake to make for my birthday.
This looks really great! 👍
I watched this after eating a tasty green salad with fresh strawberries, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and raspberry balsamic vinegar dressing. So I wasn't hungry. Yet watching you eat your mac&cheese cake made we want to make and eat one right away. Om nom nom.
you really outdone yourself chef john , it really wonderfull
Mac & Cheese cake ? What a concept !!! Love all your recipes !
Whatever awards you're going for... you would have my vote in a heartbeat!. Love this channel! ❤
"We will also do a little bit of cayenne since after all it is a cake." 🤣
Been a while since I tried a Chef John recipe... THIS will be my next one!
"Im sure 4:20 would've been fine" 💀 chef john knows his target audience 🤣
Wow looks great!!!!
After all, you are the Guy Fieri, of your choice of dairy.
This looks delicious.
Well well well... If it isn't my new favorite recipe.
I love anything savoury. As kids we often ate room temperature leftover mac and cheese in solid square blocks with a dash of ketchup or mayo. It was like having a pretend savoury pie.
We make an ovendish but just with milk and eggs, lots of macaroni, bacon/smoked cured pork, ham and cheese and some nutmeg. It will colour nicely and is really delicious with a tangy sauce made of mixing ketchup with mustard.
Thank you. 😋
Chef John you should do mac & cheese candles to make this a perfect birthday meal!
Candied bacon candles!
This is amazing
lets put this in the all edge brownie pan
Is it wrong that I'm tempted to add an alfredo "ganache" on the top of this? 🤤 I'm so making this.
Comment #2. I did double the recipe, more or less. 2 cups flour, forgot the pasta water but added milk instead to thin the mix, sauted about a cup chopped red onions in the butter, full box of elbow macaroni and I baked it in a bundt pan. Much better. Went over well. Had some left over and tried making grilled cheese sandwiches. Slicing the bundt into parellel slices was tough. Next time I'll try it as a loaf. Slices just fried in butter may be just fine.
it will be my project for the next weekend : )!!!
This reminds me of how my dad found out about savory cheesecake last year, and served it as an appetizer on Thanksgiving. If this recipe is nearly as delicious as that turned out to be, I'm so excited to try it! 😋
I made a smoked salmon cheesecake once. Tasted awesome, but was kind of a lot of work. Not enough better than smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel to be worth making again.
This looks gooood!
Me: He's been at this for so long. It's got to be hard to keep thinking of new recipes.
Chef John: Aaaahhhhh... what if we put mac and cheese in a cake mix?
I would like this for my birthday cake, please!😍
Looks great. Unique.
We will have to try it soon but I think either we will do it served on a bed of a homemade cheese sauce or with it spooned over the top.
That's just us cooking.
Probably going to make this 🎉
Chef John bringing his A game with the wit today!
Pre-grated cheese is perfectly fine. I've never had a problem with it simply melted as a topping or when making sauces.
Even if it’s not great you can wash it and drain it which makes it perfectly usable. I hate it when cooks try to discriminate against a product for no good reason
Just shred the cheese yourself. It only takes 5 minutes, and it is cheaper. 🤣
@@aliceDarts well Alice.. it’s practically impossible to find cheese in blocks where I live, so I thought I should enjoy food without some annoying chef telling me don’t use that and that
I made something like this once. A long time ago in one of those after school programs and tried it at home. The recipe included: milk, eggs, cheddar, Bisquick and uncooked elbows. I kind of dig it 😀
An Italian specialty is macaroni pie. Yum!
Grattis till Makaronilådan
Omg that looks deelish! ❤
That looks really good! It would be something I would make to take to a family dinner or a BBQ. It would be a hit. For home, however, I always cave in and make my Mom's Mac & Cheese, which has layer upon layer of sharp yellow cheddar, diced crispy bacon, saute'd onions and green peppers. We wouldn't settle for anything else as kids and now my kids won't eat any other kind either.
I haven't tried this recipe yet but I think it might be good with cheese sauce drizzled on top if served hot or maybe some cream cheese whipped with butter and piped on like icing rosettes if serving room temp. Because more cheese always equals more better.
Easier is always better especially if you get to tweak the recipe with the type of cheese or macaroni used. I love green onions I may buy some to use in this recipe, but I have sweet onions and am thinking of using those without adding the sugar and using Ditalini macaroni that I've seen in pasta e fagioli soup.
in england we call it a pasta bake and many variations exist
It reminds me of a casserole from years back with a twist. It was a Hamburger/Meatloaf type recipe placed in the dish then covered with Mac N Cheese. Baking cooks the meat. the meat cake is made somewhat so the Mac N Cheese.covers the edges. Nice surprise and a unique taste. You might want try this concept. With your double recipe and 2 baking pans and a cheese spread/sauce as Icing make a layered cake.
I just realized... I've been following this channel since my early 20s and I'm now 35.
OK! Hey John I will give this a try. However what would I serve along side of this to make it a meal with protein ?
Why tf are there flowers on it😂🤣🤣🤣!!!!! Omfg I love chef John, they’re so random for a savory dish that’s not salad lol this channel is amazing
My grandson doesn't like cake...but boy, he loves my homemade Mac & Cheese. I'll have a nice surprise for him on his next birthday!
One can put the sieve used to drain the pasta on top of the cooking pasta with a pudding bowl with the butter in it to melt.
Note about flour:
Yes there is a difference between self raising flour and self rising flour. In the American Self Raising flour, salt is often added to the flour during the milling process, along with everything else that makes it self raising flour.
Many other countries - such as Australia - the industrial standard (so most of the brands of flour you buy from the shops) don't add the salt.
‘Murica 😏
Murica?!?
In 2021, people living in the EU spent an average of 14% of their income on food.
Americans spent just 10%.
Where I'm at (Eastern NC), there's literally less than a penny per ounce difference between all-purpose and self-rising flours.
You say "Murica" like it's a bad thing.
But I'm wondering why the EU food companies are so greedy that they can't add a bit of salt to flour......
I thought American companies were greedy, but seriously, cheaping out over probaly less than a tenth of a penny per bag???
That makes American companies look like amateurs in the greed department.
It's just baking powder, not baking soda, and salt that's added in America.
@@lordgarion514 While in Australia, no salt at all is added. That is why I am saying not all of the self raising/self rising flours are the same.
