Omg I’m dying! I just want to take the older lady out to dinner and be her BFF. She’s my kinda lady. No excuses! Will not settle and tells it like it is! I love it!
I’ve noticed that there’s usually two types of people, the kind that like cheese sauce macaroni (the kind in the pot) & those that like baked Mac & cheese. My favorite has always been baked. That’s what my paternal grandma made & I looked forward to every holiday because of that Mac & cheese. Then when I started cooking, she taught me how to make it.😋
@@SilvaDreams 😄more often than not, that’s true...,but...there are really good homemade creamy cheese sauces I’ve made for my kids that don’t like my baked macaroni.
I've only ever had one good baked Mac and cheese in my life. Everybody else's always is too done on top. If I wanted burnt noodles, I'd just burn noodles lol.
"You must hate us! You hate the family!" 😂😂😂 She right about it though. If you bring bad Mac n cheese it screams how much you dislike the people you brought it for. This is a dish that gives hugs, loves comforts you. So if you don't get that in the first bite 🙅🏾♀️.
My mom used to make mac & cheese from a recipe in "Calling All Cooks". It was a cookbook published with recipes from Alabama phone company employees, I believe. Best mac & cheese I ever had. I'm gonna have to buy that book and make it myself.
Dear Great Leader,. You are correct. It comes from the same swiss cheese family except it's been aged a little longer to increase the flavor and nuttiness of the cheese. It's the best topping for French onion soup.
Next time, have each person make a homemade mac then have everybody taste those + as many frozen ones and see how accurately they can differentiate. XD
I grew up in Ga and we learned how to listen when any Grandmother told you how to do something. This was important when I was stationed in Miami and we had a Southern CS who ran the Galley the way his grandmother would want him to do. He also made some of the best Mac & Cheese you have ever had.
One of the best Mac n Cheese recipes is Patti LaBelle’s Over the Rainbow mac n cheese. Once I was at the store trying to remember what I needed to make it & got heavy cream instead of the half & half it calls for so I just used it. My kids said this is even better than usual, so now I always use cream in the recipe
Good on them for even doing the taste testing. My grandmother was from Georgia and we all learned how to make homemade Mac 'n Cheese from her, so I'm SPOILLLLED for anything else! I love how the one lady said about one of the last ones "you must hate us," and the other said "disrespectful." 😂😂😂
I find to make mac and cheese takes about the same time as boxed mac and cheese (sans the baking time in the oven). Fam will only eat homemade mac and cheese or nothing and it needs a dash of cayenne.
*Totally* agree with, "You must hate us" & "disrespectful"! There are few things food-related that get ppl going like mac-n-cheese wars! 😁 Another one is stuffing/dressing. Omg, none of the frozen or boxed is worth a diddly-toot!
I was thinking about making a cheddar joke, but I know people won't give Edam since it wouldn't be Gouda So I tried making a Swiss cheese joke...but that has too many holes
XD! I LOVE grandma’s reaction to the Stoufers! Hahaha! I also love her stance on FULL flavor. Being healthy is good and all but my philosophy is: when you’re indulging, go all the way and don’t skimp! ;3
You can destroy your reputation bringing messed up mac and cheese to a gathering. Bring your A game with this dish or you will be assigned to bring soda or rolls only.
When I was a kid, I asked my grandma to make Kraft Mac and Cheese instead of her recipe. I never recovered from this mistake. And one phone call later, my mom was in more trouble for having served it to me at all.
Oh, you poor child. If you didn't hear a "hmph Kraft kid" or some such the rest of their life anytime they saw you, I'd be amazed. Grudges were Invented in the south LOL
As with a lot of junk food, Kraft Mac n Cheese (the original kind, not that Easy Mac stuff) has its place. As long as you don't expect or pretend it's the real thing, it's pretty good. That Easy Mac stuff is so awful it's unreal. I'm convinced Easy Mac exists solely to make the "real" Kraft seem fancy.
Don’t mess around bringing this in there for thanksgiving. They put this outside. Can’t even go on the table. Mm-mm. You just eat that outsahd. 😂 love her!!
You know Miss Leonard’s prayer was like: “Lord put a hedge of protection around my taste buds for this abomination I’m about to eat. And forgive the hands that prepared it for they know not what they do!”
I adore both of these ladies! Exemplary southern Belles 😇 In my view, Mac and cheese must have strength to it, it should take effort to lift it to your mouth and have complexity in the palette. I agree that it probably should have some smoked gouda in it everytime as well 😍
I would spit out a mac and cheese made with smoked gouda. Gouda I could forgive, but not smoked. If I'm eating mac, it's with a smoked meat, I don't need smoked flavor taking over everything, I want it to stand on its own flavors.
What kind of Stouffer's was that?! The regular kind without the breadcrumb topping is my favorite. I think most of these frozen mac & cheese (no easy mac!!) meals could be tweaked with more cheese, spices, maybe real buttery breadcrumbs, etc. and it would pass a potluck.
It's "Baked" - I think they're going for the Potluck-Style idea, with panko breadcrumbs on top. I bought it by accident a few weeks ago and was SOOOOO disappointed! Stoffer's is a good "Work Lunch" for me, when I'm knee-deep in paperwork, but this kind is absolutely atrocious. It was dry and the topping got all congealed together, making it very difficult to eat. Stick to the tried-and-true regular Stouffer's and you won't be disappointed.
I’m watching this at suppertime & now I’m starving! My mom & grandma made baked mac & cheese with the long hollow noodles, a custard base (savory, not sweet) & sharp cheddar. Yum!
Georgia born, but Texas raised here. My grandma on my dad's side made Baked homemade mac and cheese that you would sell a body part for! It should've been Illegal or a sin or something. 🤤🤤 REAL mac and cheese can't be from a box, and it should be made with Extra sharp cheddar. You don't know what you're missing until you've had REAL Baked mac and cheese...it's Sacrelicous! 🥰👍🏻
I'm from the south too. Frozen and homemade are just 2 different worlds. That being said, I battle fibromyalgia and all of its many sub issues. Many days I am unable to cook at all. Stouffers mac n cheese is my go to meal on those days. If I can manage it I will add some steamed vegetables on the side as well and that has saved me more times than I can count. So I don't go shopping without picking up a bix of it to have in the freezer. But frozen anything will never compare to fresh homemade.
DEVOUR brand "White cheddar macaroni and cheese with applewood smoked bacon." One of the best mac-a-cheese dishes I've ever had -- and it came from a microwave.
Haha. It actually makes me not want to taste mac and cheese fun these brands! Seeing the consistency of the product tells me about how is going to taste.
There's some things one just does not do ever, and bringing pre-packaged box food to a potluck is one of them. Some store-bought mac and cheese from their Deli section is good, and that I would bring, but the fast-food stores ain't good enough. Maybe decent to eat personally but not to share.
@@teambeining when my family had potlucks we were usually given a choice of what to bring. I usually brought bread buns and dessert as I was working as a bakers apprentice at the time. I had a great boss and cooked the big roasts or turkeys or hams depending upon the time of year and I and my immediate family had more fun at the bakery with their family and my coworkers family who would sometimes cook their meat dishes in the oven as it cooled . We could cook everything in about 1 quarter the time plus room for everything at once. It was more a party than anything else.
I can make Mac and cheese over all for a fraction of the price! A large bag of pasta, cheese, flour, cream, butter - portion for portion mine is about 25p
I don't remember growing up with that Kraft M&C but my brother was the first one to make it from scratch. He took Home Ec in 8th grade. Had my mom get all the ingredients. Included Velveeta cheese 😊
Trader Joe's Mac n Cheese is great! We had a potluck at work. I didn't have time to make homemade M&C. Bought 6 TJ's, microwaved to defrost. Scooped into a dish with a dash of granulated onion and pepper, added panko bread crumbs to half. Baked 15 minutes. No one knew the difference.
I always make Kraft M&C with Velveeta (or shells) and that green packet of stuff for vegetables. I add dried chopped onions when I start the water boiling when I want it plain. Sometimes I swap out the onions for sugar when I want it sweet. As Grandpa Jones used to say, "Yum Yum!"
Stouffer's Mac and cheese is the best. If I took it to a potluck though I'd move it to my own dish maybe drop some shredded cheddar on top to make it look like I made it. 😂
@@theengagedfew for sure. 😂 Asking those lines I had a friend that could duplicate many restaurant foods and had a reputation as a great cook. One day when we were talking about it he confessed to me there was one thing that he cheated on and it was lasagna. He told me he would buy the large Stouffer lasagna, throw it in a pyrex dish and lay a layer of mozzarella on top before putting in the oven. He said he got sweaty with it for years until one day his wife entered the kitchen before he threw the box away. Busted. 🤣🤣
"Put that outside, this cant even go on the table...you must hate us....you mean to tell me you wrapped this up in foil and brought it....you hate the family" 😂😂😂💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣 7:41
Yes I would. The big party tray of frozen Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese is good enough for the typical pot luck dinner or lunch. Bake overnight, wrap to keep warm, bring to work in the morning for lunch pot luck.
@@debradowling800 , Single guys like me do what is neccessary to feed crowds. Generic store brand soda pop, chips, crackers, cookies, cheese, ice cream, etcetera. I am not going to spend hours making macaroni and cheese when something good enough is available in the frozen food section of the grocery store. The foods I have not skimped on are 7 bone standing rib roasts, ribeye steaks, beef briskets, and 1/2 pound ground beef burgers. You have to get great beef to get great beef flavor.
@@davidhoffman1278 You are a single guy who is "not going to spend hours making macaroni and cheese." Did I get that right? If you were married would you do it? Or would you have the little woman do it? I guess I just don't get what being single has to do with good food.
@@cindyjburns , IF married, I suspect that I would use the larger frozen party size or buy from a good caterer and that my wife would be fine with doing that.
I actually like Stoffer's, but they bought the wrong one. The one without the bread on top is really good....disclaimer: I grew up with Velveeta shells and "cheese" so I might not be the best judge. ;)
Me too!! There are very few people that get to eat my Signature Dishes (like Mac); usually my family and those I truly love... Cheese is expensive, y'all!
Is the Costco one you throw in the oven for about an hour any good. The chicken alfredo they have is good out of the oven, but it doesn't age well in the fridge afterward and 4 lbs takes a while if you don't have a large family.
If I'm busy I make it with some bread crumbs on top, mixed those in with some pepper after it gets through the foil stage, and them broil it off. It's easy and delicious.
I love Stouffers mac and cheese. Of course I don't really live in the South. I live in North Georgia. And I grew up in North Atlanta. I'm practically a yankee.
My favorite is the cracker barrel Vermont cheddar boxed Mac and cheese with Kinders "the Blend"(coarse salt pepper and garlic) I do not like soft/mushy noodles. I prefer the noodles to be more al dente so they have a more firm texture. The seasoning gives it flavor and a little more texture due to it being coarse
The only good Mac n cheese is made fresh in the oven. It's good as leftovers for at least one day, but has never had any samples remaining to check for longer.
I grew up on Kraft Mac and cheese. I learned how to make Actual macaroni and cheese and now am not allowed at any family functions without a whole three pounds of my homemade macaroni and cheese. Ironically, it was my Scottish Mother who would request it because my Southern Father hated anything macaroni and cheese.
Agreed but thinking they were going for more baked mac and cheese, not a cheese sauce kind (like what happened with the kraft) but Bob Evans is def top tier when it comes to premade
My family's go to for those nights you have no time and just need to toss something in the oven and keep going is stouffers but we never eat it plain we add to in some way. But for a potluck the only frozen would be if we know we aren't going to have time we make it early and freeze it. Christmas and Thanksgiving we have done that several times. Made it a week early frozen it. Thawed it the night before and then we can focus on the meat and veggies the day of.
Trader Joe's changed my life too. I never went because I thought it was a fancy expensive gourmet store. Well there's gourmet food but the prices are more than reasonable. And it's great for people with sensory issues. It's small, simple, not a million products, no overhead speaking, and everyone is nice. Staff and customers. I swear they must put something in the air.
She's right, I've never had a store-bought mac and cheese that didn't need pepper
Same
I’ve never had store bought mac and cheese, can’t see the need to start now.
Don't over salt. You can always add more. Next scene: It needs pepper. (Hint: the pepper is usually in a shaker next to the salt.)
Trader Joe's is the best boxed or frozen. My homemade Mac&Cheese needs a heart attack warning ...
The origin of using pepper was to hide the taste of rotten meat.
It's purpose hasn't changed much since that time.
Omg I’m dying! I just want to take the older lady out to dinner and be her BFF. She’s my kinda lady. No excuses! Will not settle and tells it like it is! I love it!

Fun fact:
Havarti is a type of semisoft cheese. Comes from the Capital Region of Denmark
Dear Great Leader,. You are correct. It comes from the same swiss cheese family except it's been aged a little longer to increase the flavor and nuttiness of the cheese. It's the best topping for French onion soup.
I always read comments first then look at the name, lol not what I expected

You can destroy your reputation bringing messed up mac and cheese to a gathering. Bring your A game with this dish or you will be assigned to bring soda or rolls only.
My major league A-game is everyone else's Class A rookie league. It's probably best if I just bring the soda.
Idk, I'd assign them to plates, cups or napkins if they pulled that mess. Not even going to trust them with the drinks or ice at that point.
Or even worse... "jest bring the ice."

My favorite frozen mac remains Stouffers, but never microwaved.
I like it in a microwave I abhor crispy cheese, but not that weird one
The box here said Baked so I don't think it's the same as the regular mac & cheese that I do like.
They should have tried the regular Stouffers.
Stouffer's is the best store bought. Sometimes, I will add a little extra cheddar if I want a little more cheesiness.

Is the Costco one you throw in the oven for about an hour any good. The chicken alfredo they have is good out of the oven, but it doesn't age well in the fridge afterward and 4 lbs takes a while if you don't have a large family.
If I'm busy I make it with some bread crumbs on top, mixed those in with some pepper after it gets through the foil stage, and them broil it off. It's easy and delicious.
I love Stouffers mac and cheese. Of course I don't really live in the South. I live in North Georgia. And I grew up in North Atlanta. I'm practically a yankee.
Try Marie Callander's White cheddar mac and cheese. Very creamy and very delicious
Stouffer's frozen mac n' cheese, baked until top is brown and bubbling and crisp, is the BEST! 😋
My favorite is the cracker barrel Vermont cheddar boxed Mac and cheese with Kinders "the Blend"(coarse salt pepper and garlic)
I do not like soft/mushy noodles. I prefer the noodles to be more al dente so they have a more firm texture. The seasoning gives it flavor and a little more texture due to it being coarse
“Oh lord is lean cuisine” has the same energy as “my disappointment is immeasurable and my day has been ruined”
These are some very good reviews, it has to be gooey and very hot with a strong cheese and sometimes ham, yes. 😃😃😃😃
That woman in the purple needs to be in every video from now on.
I agree on the pepper! I always add a lot of pepper to Mac and cheese. Makes it take much better. Try it.
I add pepper to mine too - and I also give it a dash of hot sauce.
I love the first lady's outfit. Get the frozen, but do it up with a little more cheese.
The only good Mac n cheese is made fresh in the oven. It's good as leftovers for at least one day, but has never had any samples remaining to check for longer.
I love this video. 10/10. I quit eating store bought mac and cheese. Its just better if you make it yourself.
Great video! Homemade Mac and cheese is always gonna be the best ..🤣🤣
Uh oh!
Hey, surprisingly enough, the mac n cheese at Chicken Salad Chick is very tasty! It reminds me of Morrison's Cafeteria, RIP.
We're getting a CSC here soon and I had never heard of it. Great tips! Will try their Mac n cheese!
Y'all going to bless us with a Bless your rank "Frozen Mac in Cheese Version"?
I grew up on Kraft Mac and cheese.
I learned how to make Actual macaroni and cheese and now am not allowed at any family functions without a whole three pounds of my homemade macaroni and cheese.
Ironically, it was my Scottish Mother who would request it because my Southern Father hated anything macaroni and cheese.
I loved these women’s comments. Good descriptions. ❤️
This was a great video.
I the first woman was amazing, I enjoy people like that.
I do love Evol's Truffle Mac and cheese. My husband hates it though so I don't have to share.
Grandma looking snatched. Lol
The Kraft really woke up choosing violence. Cheezus.
I believe you get not only your southern card immediately revoked but your potluck marching orders if you show up with frozen reheated Mac n cheese!
How did the staff mess up Easy Mac????
Whoever made that easy mac should face a war crimes tribunal.
Absolute legend she is!!
Bob Evan's mac and cheese is my fav store bought. It comes in little individual cups, perfect for 1.
“You hate the family.” 😂
“Disrespectful.” 😂
How did y'all night include Bob Evans lol? It's literally the best frozen Mac and cheese by far lol...
Agreed but thinking they were going for more baked mac and cheese, not a cheese sauce kind (like what happened with the kraft) but Bob Evans is def top tier when it comes to premade
My family's go to for those nights you have no time and just need to toss something in the oven and keep going is stouffers but we never eat it plain we add to in some way. But for a potluck the only frozen would be if we know we aren't going to have time we make it early and freeze it. Christmas and Thanksgiving we have done that several times. Made it a week early frozen it. Thawed it the night before and then we can focus on the meat and veggies the day of.
"You hate us! You hate the family"😂😂😂
It's important not impordant...and store brought isn't as good as home made least I don't think anyway ... Excellent video guys well done
“Just leave that outside baby” hahahaha
She has to have her gluten… lol I love her!!
Trader Joe's changed my life too. I never went because I thought it was a fancy expensive gourmet store. Well there's gourmet food but the prices are more than reasonable. And it's great for people with sensory issues. It's small, simple, not a million products, no overhead speaking, and everyone is nice. Staff and customers. I swear they must put something in the air.
