NOBODY ON TH-cam HAS A BETTER TUTORIAL FOR BAKED MAC AND CHEESE SOUTHERN STYLE LIKE THIS WOMAN HERE!!! GO STEP BY STEP AND YOU WONT GO WRONG!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🙏🏾🔥😮💨💪🏾
This video is more than just a recipe. It's gives you a science lesson, a math lesson, comedy, how to make friends on the block lesson, how to get a man lesson. Honestly it has everything.
She had me reeled in, hook, line and sinker before she finished the end of her first sentence. So who's gonna say it with me? " The Instructional was on point but the commentating was the very best part of the video."
I never leave comments, but I had to this time. I am incapable of making a good mac and cheese - no matter what recipe I use, something comes out wrong. It always tastes like just a block of cheese or too eggy or too dry or too wet or the sauce doesn't stick to the noodles. This is the first recipe I've ever tried that, not only went well, but turned out amazing! This is by far the best mac and cheese I've ever had. Thank you for sharing!
I made this and my family approved. My sister who’s the cook in the family, recommended I make the Mac and Cheese. Mind y’all I can’t cook for nothing lol.
My grandma used to make mac and cheese every Saturday for when I watched cartoons, it was so delicious. She passed away a few years ago and sadly nobody knew how to replicate her recipe. Your recipe not only was delicious but brought back a key piece of my childhood. It's almost like I'm having a meal with her again 😭🙏Thank you so much!
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandmother You literally made me shed a tear. I can’t begin to describe how happy it made me to hear my recipe reminds you of hers. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm a 60 year old grandma and you can call me "baby" and "child" all day long. I love it!! I will definitely be trying this recipe, it looks fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. 💕💕💕
Better if the woman spoke proper English, enunciating with class. We are quickly evolving to a civilized society that takes pride speaking like one has been educated, not in the street. It's passe. Great recipe, for sure.
@@donniedotzler7387 "proper English" lol. I have relatives down south and this is proper English. I love the way she communicates, with such love and authenticity. There are plenty of channels you can go to where people are speaking Received Pronunciation or any other version of "proper". Bye Felicia!
Made this for Sunday dinner and lemme just say I WAS THE TALK OF THE DIN-TER!! I am now a trusted cook for sundays AAAANNNNDDDD FAMILY REUNIONS😌 THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
i'm so happy for you and yo happy-bellied fam...but QQ off topic; did you get the vibe that if Riley from Boondocks ever found his mother, it'd be this lady? it's the explaining of consequences for me xD
I was cracking up when u said .. salted butter… you know the black people kind of butter . Cuz I’m a southern white girl but I couldn’t agree more .. it’s my kind of butter too !!! Love your personality!
Lol. I was cracking up when she said if you don’t cook your flour people are going to be talking about you. I would love to cook with this beautiful lady. Xo
I don’t know anyone that doesn’t use salted butter except for SOME baking. Some cookies and candies need to have specific amounts of salt and you can add that yourself. Other than that I use salted butter. 99% of the time.
I made this for Easter this year and since then, I had to make 6 batches for a graduation party and for my husband's birthday today. This mac and cheese is absolutely amazing.
South African here.. I was here for the recipe but the commentary took me out 😂 now I wanna be invited to the cookout for the Mac n Cheese, it looks so good!
Girlllllll. I just made this last night! You gotta let us know this recipe might just come with a wedding ring, cuz this mac was FIRE. Lol. Thank you so much!!
I'm a guy and one reason I scored a beautiful wife was because of how I throw it down in the kitchen. We been married almost 24yrs and I can count on both hands how many times she's cooked.
I also used your Mac and cheese recipe yesterday for the Thanksgiving dinner my husband and I hosted at our house. Before we sat down to eat, my family and friends were tapping me on the shoulder asking who made the Mac and cheese just based on how it looked. Everyone loved the flavor and my husband said it was the best Mac and cheese he ever had. We both thank you for your recipe! ❤
I just wanna say, that I’m a grown man in my 30s and I love cooking, but this recipe had my recipe BEAT!!! This is the best Mac N Cheese I’ve ever tasted. I wasn’t even a follower until now. Thank you Freddie!!!
Wow. So, I'm an old white lady and I grew up in Forest Park, Georgia, the dirty south in the ghetto and the way you speak in this video is so comforting to me. I no longer live there but man I miss my southern folks and the soul food I grew up on. If you see this Freddie, thank you. I will be making this for my family. This the good good.
Straight no chaser recipe and you didn’t take 40 min to get to the point. Thank you for keeping it simple yet so delicious. When you said Whole milk and black people butter- I appreciated that I had all the ingredients in my fridge/pantry! Thank
My husband- who doesn’t like Mac and cheese, just said this is the best Mac and cheese he has had. Packed up a bowl and took it to the neighbors to try. Definitely a hit and seasoned to perfection
I've been complaining to my family that we don't make mac and cheese for big family gatherings. I've taken it upon myself to be responsible for the mac and cheese for Christmas lunch. I've watched a ton of mac and cheese videos and this is the one!!!
Mam!! Excuse me mam…. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing. I prepared this for thanksgiving and got rave reviews. My aunt text me asking whose recipe I used and I quickly sent her the link to this video. Thanks again ❤
This is the best flavored mac and cheese we've ever had. 10/10 for consistency and moisture. All the issues I had with my previous recipe, this excels at
I'm confused as to why the response & who really needs to think if a person excels in something or excels at it. It means they are very good at it and with a response of 10/10 we all got the picture 👀
you need to READand COMPREHEND before you type. His past recipe had issues and THE NEW RECIPE EXCELED WHERE THE OLD ONE DIDNT. Don't correct others until you understand the original point they're making.@@mysubs9650
Coming back to say I made this last night for noche buena and the tray was CLEANED. Everyone was asking "who made the Mac n cheese?!" And I was like "Me 😏." Thank you for this wonderful recipe and Merry Christmas!
A person that understands flour has to be cooked into a roux - She’s a Queen and her Mac n’ cheese is next level She’s at one with the pasta and the sauce
I just made this recipe and babyyyyy, it exceeded my expectations. It was more than good, y’all run to the kitchen and make this NOW. Lol. This was really amazing.
I messed around and finally made this mac & cheese recipe last Sunday. This recipe is dangerously delicious 😋🤤, and addictive. I knew that this Mac & cheese was bussin and fire 🔥. When I ate 2 servings of it at once. I had to immediately freeze and store away this mac & cheese, bcuz it was going to disappear quickly from me. This mac & cheese recipe is the Truth. I highly recommend to anyone to give this mac & cheese recipe a try. Trust me you won't regret it. Just remember that it's addictive and you can easily get carried away. Thanks Freddie for sharing your amazing mac & cheese recipe. ❤️👍🏾🔥😋n
I’m beyond happy that you like my recipe friend! I told you this Mac and cheese was dangerously good lol. Thank you so much for giving it a try and thank you again for talking your time to come and give me a update on how it went I appreciate it. 😊
@@eleanorperez964 try it with almond milk. It should still taste good for your satisfaction. Remember when you change or alter milk ingredients in macaroni and cheese. You may experience a different flavor and taste. It would be good I'm sure
My algorithm did it again. Mac & cheese recipes on deck! My gosh I love the way you continued to season it. I’m Mexican & we add seasoning on top of seasoning to our dishes too. This looked amazing! Your personality is a delight. Keep it up boo boo ❤
@@chestinejohnson9173 hey now, some of us know how to use seasoning like it was meant to be used too! My SO told me he was scared to eat my food bc I'm "white and y'all know how white people make food" 😂 So to say he was pleasantly surprised was an understatement. He said I passed the final test so now we can get married 😂😂😂 I definitely trying this recipe as mac n cheese is a definite favorite in our home!
My middle son (12) loves to cook. We watched this video together several times and added it to our summer list of fun things to do. Today we finally made it. He was so pleased and excited and now we're eating it. Oh man. Ohhhhhh man. Thank you, we love the video!
I like using cellentani pasta for Mac & cheese. It's heavier than elbow macaroni. It twists around & has grooves in it & holds the cheese on the pasta. I got a tip from cook, when making the roux, when it starts smelling like pie crust you know the flour's cooked out I gotta say Freddie, your roux looks perfect. That is straight up talent! You got me hungry
Yes friend I like to use the corkscrew/cellentani pasta sometimes as well it’s so pretty to me lol. Thank you so much for all the compliments. Please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already I got way more recipes where that came from.
Yeah,i prefer cavatappi also...have not used elbows in years....although its a pain in the culo to do,i also prefer shredding my own cheese-extra sharp cheddar only!
@@hollymurphy-jerrett1894 who cares? its better. you people literally just want something to complain about, it makes you feel good about yourself or something. Like that comment was just absolutely not necessary..
Hi this is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and I just want to say how much I appreciate it when you say "it's your food; if you don't want to eat it you don't have to add it" ❤️ as a picky eater I wish more people who made recipes were kind like this ❤❤
This is the best recipe for mac and cheese I’ve ever tried! It was so good that my son loves it and he’s never been a fan of Mac and cheese. Anytime I make it people rave about it. Thank you so much!
I worked in a restaurant and this is how I made the mac and cheese there...seasoned pasta water, manually shredded cheese, sour cream...this is GREAT. excellent video.
What kind of restaurant? Cus most restaurant mac n cheese is terrible or below average. I order mac n cheese everytime i see it on a menu and im disappointed 90% of the time cus its mostly always bland cheese sauce absolutely drowning the noodles (like baby food) with a weak breadcrumb crust with no flavor, no spice, no smoke..hardly even salt n pepper. And i’ve been to hundreds of restaurants throughout CA, OR, WA, Vancouver, Mexico, Greece, Tokyo, etc…actual chefs aren’t putting sour cream or eggs in the recipe and making a pool of cheese sauce. I’ve seen tubs of this exact style tossed away at family functions. This would be a good recipe for children tho
Tremendously skilled narration. Some people narrate a cooking video all you get is instruction but with you you get some real personality. Also I have always found mac and cheese to be a bunch of tasteless slop but it is clear with all the seasoning you put in this is not the case with yours. So keep on doing what you're doing Freddie!
Over the years I've been searching for the best way to make Mac and cheese. I thought I found it 4 years back, but I was wrong. I've tried making it this way twice and when I tell you this can stand alone with nothing else. I was in heaven. The second time I made it I forgot to include a few ingredients and it STILL came out amazing. Thank you for sharing and I'm watching more videos to learn a few more news things as we speak. 🤗
I made your recipe this past Christmas and my little cousin is still talking about the mac and cheese! Thank you for sharing this. I think it was the best I have ever made! ❤
Your style of narrating and cooking is BOMB. This recipe post caused me to subscribe. That is saying A LOT, because I am an VERY experienced cook and am super particular about what recipes I want to replicate. This is surely one of those!
I'm 5 minutes in and I would trust this woman with my life. I'm from the South (Gulf Coast) living in the Pacific Northwest now and this reminds me so much of my Granny's mac n cheese. I can't wait to make this. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
I gotta say.. I made this recipe and gave it to some friends... His wife literally asked me a year later to make it for her birthday haha I love the energy from this video and you are not lying about people gonna ask who made this or have you make more lol that sazon is such a nice touch. Love your commentary lol
Made this last night and I can definitely say this is the recipe I’ll be sticking with from now on. I didn’t have Velveta so I used a block of Pepper Jack instead, it turned out amazing!
I’ve tried a lot of different Mac and cheese recipes on TH-cam. What this woman has gifted us with is hands down the best recipe I’ve tried. Being from the south myself, this hits home on so many levels! Thank you Freddie for sharing this with the world 🥰
I have this in my oven right now but when I did the taste test before putting it in to cook I had to run to my pc and just say how AMAZING it tastes already!!! I've got corn on the cob and sandwiches in the works to go with it and I can't WAIT!! 10 thumbs UP!
@@iiihndrxx3239 I followed her directions. Expand up top and it says this: Cover the macaroni and cheese with aluminum foil and place it in oven for 20 minutes. Take the Mac and cheese out after the 20 minutes mix it well. Then add the Colby jack and medium cheddar cheese you shredded at the top of the Mac and cheese. Sprinkle some Cheyenne pepper and some paprika on the top of the cheese place it back in the oven uncovered top rack and let it cook until cheese is gold and brown (20/30 minutes) remove Mac & cheese from oven.
Being from the south, this is the 1st time I've EVER heard of making a roux in Southern Mac & cheese. It has always been the cheese as a binder for us. I've seen non- African American making it this way, though. But, I really appreciate your voice over the most!
Well friend from the age of 12-18 I was raised in a African American household and that’s how we made it 🤷🏽♀️. Remember you may be from the south but you’re not in everyone’s home and don’t really know how everyone cooks. Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment 😇
I wasn't raised on it either but the last few recipes I've tried have called for it and I love it. Definitely try it out because it makes a world of difference.
Made this last night and family loved it! This is the first macaroni and cheese I've made that has the texture I've been striving to achieve over the past 50 mac and cheese recipes I've tried!
Me and my son made this tonight. It's baking in the oven as I write this. We both taste tested before it went in and it was delicious. We can't wait to try it when it's has the melted cheese on top!!! 😋 😋 😋
I followed this recipe and made this on Christmas (minus a few of the seasonings I didn’t have )and Omg it was so good ! Everyone loved it ! Thank you so much you taught me how to make a roux ☺️ I’m gonna make my Mac n cheese like this from now on !
Hi Freddie! I was taught at a very young age how to cook by my grandmother. She taught me how to cook a great mac and cheese, but over the years, my husband and I found ourselves looking for new ways to make traditional recipes. Over the past year, I found myself craving a more "creamy" and flavorful mac and cheese. Before I tried your recipe, I tried two other recipes, and it was a FLAVOR THAT WAS MISSING, and I couldn't put my finger on it. I decided this past weekend to search for another mac and cheese recipe, hoping to find that flavor and found your recipe and YOUR RECIPE was it! My husband said it was the best mac and cheese he ever had, and I found the flavor I was looking for, thank God. 😊 Thank you for sharing this recipe as it reminds me of culture... from the way you seasoned to the way you relayed your message while cooking reminded me of OUR CULTURE. Again, thank you, and keep it up!
My son asked for homemade Mac n cheese and then this randomly popped up. I LOVE Freddie's style! And the recipe looks absolutely delicious. I have all the ingredients ready to go! Thank you so much, Freddie!!! 🖤
I made this for my summer cookout back in July, and let me tell you! About 30-40 ppl stopped to ask me how I made it. Thank you for sharing your recipe! It was delicious.
Oh honey, yes! As a girl from southern Louisiana that grew up with true Cajun and Creole foods past down for generations I love your recipe. Its so similar to my own , thats been passed down over the years and slightly altered to suit everyone's own preferences. Im gonna have to try yours. It looks amazing!!
It had velveeta and kraft products…good lord. Find ya self some real artisan block cheese and dont degrade it by melting it down into a sauce and drowning the noodles like baby food…toss in some pancetta or smoked turkey, jalapenos, thyme n oregano..anything for additional texture or flavor..maybe have some truffle salt or hot sauce or truff sauce on the side…something so it doesnt just taste like a mouthful of buttery baby food. A recipe like this would barely get touched at my fam gatherings
I just made this for tonight’s Super Bowl and I have to say, this is THE most flavorful, cheesy, ooey, gooey Mac n cheese I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It’s a winner for sure.
I made this today and might I say, it was the bomb! My mother loved it ❤ I enjoyed making this recipe and I will continue to do it again. The complete seasoning made it all so delicious, so much flavor in one bite! Thank you Freddie. By the way. It was my first time making mac and cheese. It was a success 🎉😊
Right? I made the mistake of getting a small bottle because there wasn't much info online about the contents. Never got around to making this, but that seasoning made it into my mac salad, on my pan fried chops, and I can't remember what else. SO good. Went ahead and got the big container. I'm guessing it has garlic, onion, celery, and MSG. I'm not afraid of MSG (because good is good).🤣
I just made this recipe. It’s got 10 mins left. I’m excited to try it. My Mom loves mac&cheese . And she just came home from being in the hospital and nursing home for rehab. So I made especially for her. Thank you so much for sharing. Will let you know what we all thought of it
You make me feel like a best friend, who is showing me her secret recipe and we are just having fun cooking. I'm here for it gurllll.😊 love your energy. ❤
This video randomly showed up in my home page and it did not disappoint!! Your directions were so clear and easy to follow! I'm making this for Xmas this!
@@cookingwithfreddie Good evening hope all's is well this sunny day of Florida at 4:15 pm on12-12-22 but I want to let u no that I are the Mac in cheese yesterday for Dinner 12-11-22 and I tried the Complete seasoning in Girl it's did take it's another Level it's was good thank u for your recipe ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘
@@barbarajohnson8046 I’m so happy to hear that I told you that complete seasoning is the key lol. Thank you so much for watching my video and trying my recipe. Please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already.
Just made this mac and cheese to go with tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner. OMG!! The flavor is everything mac and cheese should be. I did make some changes based off of my preferences, but this recipe is the base and it is the best I've ever made. Thank you for introducing me to Badia Complete. Never heard of it before this video but found it at Meijers. Best all purpose seasoning I've tasted. Thank you!!
I know I'm late on commenting but I had to say something. I've watched cooking videos for years. Most are just step by step boring tutorials. This is one of the very few that made me smile or laugh throughout the entire video. You have a wonderful personality and seem so joyful. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Okay I had to come back for another comment. I want to start off by saying that I have tried many different mac and cheese recipes some better than others. This mac and cheese is the best recipe I have ever tried period!!! The flavor was amazing and so well seasoned. the Badia Complete Seasoning made this mac and cheese spectacular. Saying this recipe was great does not begin to compliment it enough. The only thing I changed was to add a Ritz crust to the top to give it a little extra crunch. I will have to try it with ham on the side next time or grilled chicken! I will be making this again. 10 out of 10!!
I made this for my husband on Thanksgiving and he’s has been telling everybody about my macaroni!! Thank you !!! It was soo delicious!! Best macaroni I’ve ever tasted!!
Not only does this look fantastic but you were hilarious explaining it. I was completely engaged lol. I'm going to give that complete seasoning a try with my recipe similar to yours because I happen to have some on hand! Thanks so much! I truly enjoyed your video! 💞
Omg! I am so happy that you liked my video thank you so much for taking your time and leaving me a comment and if you haven’t subscribe yet, please hit the subscribe button lol. Please come back after you make it. Let me know how it goes.
@@cookingwithfreddie You're welcome. I have subscribed! I will definitely be back to tell you how it goes. I have a Christmas Party potluck next Tuesday!💞
@@denisemayosky1955 I use the same one she showed in the video. It's Badia Complete Seasoning. They have it on Amazon if you can't find it at your grocery store. I'm not sure I know what you can use as a substitute. I think just garlic/onion powder/salt that's mainly what complete seasoning is composed of. Hope that helps.😊
This turned out so good!!! I been making a great homemade Mac n cheese with Gruyer cheese, cheddar and fresh Parmigiano 😋 but this is a whole other hit and my kids LOVED IT!!!
Yes! I have a mac and cheese that's ALWAYS the hit of everywhere I go, and it has the smoked gruyere, seriously sharp cheddar and the shredded parm in it as well as other cheeses. This recipe however is that sexy dirty mac and cheese - the one you wanna eat in bed on a cold day, and need something savory and sinful! lol I've done both, and they both disappeared. They're so different, and yet extremely delicious.
@@cookingwithfreddie Hello this recipe looks so amazing. I’m researching for the best recipe for mac & cheese for my Thanksgiving dinner I just have a question is there a difference between the evaporated milk in a can and using whole milk in the mac & cheese what would your opinion on this be?
Chicken bouillon in the pasta water! Wow! What a great addition to the pasta. My attempts at Mac and cheese has always been dry and crumbly. The rue is the key I think. Also velveeta is new for me too. This looked so good I can’t wait to make it.
the roux is there to help it become creamier, and the velveeta has binding agents that help it not go grainy or dry in the end. those are two additions that will change the game!
"My attempts at Mac and cheese has always been dry and crumbly." That hurt my soul, my favorite dish is Mac and Cheese, my mother been making it since I was a baby, my grand mother use to make it with fried chicken when she was alive and I have learned to make it myself. You are 100% correct, the rue is the key to great mac BUT so is the quality of ingredients. You can be cheap but not TOO cheap. You want a mix of Cheese that melts well and one that gives flavor, not just melts well. People sometimes just have melty cheese but the cheese they choose has no flavor, the flavor does not just come from the seasoning, it's the cheese too. And the rue can be heavy cream based, milk bases, sour cream or cream cheese based. All of them work and provide moisture with the mix of cheeses. My mother just did a Gouda and Cheddar with heavy cream based mix. Perfect. Gouda melts well and has good flavor, Cheddar provides the rest of the cheese sauce and flavor.
Girl when I tell you. This is by far the best way to do it. Very easy. And I loves the way you talked us through it. Girl this is the best I've ever made it. Thank you so much.
I made this yesterday for my child's birthday party....it was soo tasty...omg people where having 2nd servings.. 1st dish to be finished among all other dishes... Thank you ❤

Girl, I'm mexican I need your recipes because the best mac and cheese is from the black community, looks so good😋
Aaaaamen ❤
I also used your Mac and cheese recipe yesterday for the Thanksgiving dinner my husband and I hosted at our house. Before we sat down to eat, my family and friends were tapping me on the shoulder asking who made the Mac and cheese just based on how it looked. Everyone loved the flavor and my husband said it was the best Mac and cheese he ever had. We both thank you for your recipe! ❤
I just wanna say, that I’m a grown man in my 30s and I love cooking, but this recipe had my recipe BEAT!!! This is the best Mac N Cheese I’ve ever tasted. I wasn’t even a follower until now. Thank you Freddie!!!
I love how personal and real this feels, just like being in the kitchen with mom; thank you for the lovely recipe and video!
🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much for this beautiful comment I needed this….
She had me at Great Value elbow macaroni. I stayed, liked and subscribed with all the “baby’s” she threw at us all. Can’t wait to try this.
Lol let me know how it goes and thank you for subscribing
Hello!!! Cause ain’t nothing wrong with great value, lol! Save me some money
she had me at "black people butter"!!! I refuse to use nasty margarine!
Season with creole blend & white pepper...takes it to a whole new level
Me too 🤣🤣
Wow. So, I'm an old white lady and I grew up in Forest Park, Georgia, the dirty south in the ghetto and the way you speak in this video is so comforting to me. I no longer live there but man I miss my southern folks and the soul food I grew up on. If you see this Freddie, thank you. I will be making this for my family. This the good good.
Straight no chaser recipe and you didn’t take 40 min to get to the point. Thank you for keeping it simple yet so delicious. When you said Whole milk and black people butter- I appreciated that I had all the ingredients in my fridge/pantry! Thank
Did you make it friend? If so how did it turn out?
My husband- who doesn’t like Mac and cheese, just said this is the best Mac and cheese he has had. Packed up a bowl and took it to the neighbors to try. Definitely a hit and seasoned to perfection
THATS a proud husband! If he went as far as taking it to the neighbors he definitely felt great to have you as a wife! 😂
I've been complaining to my family that we don't make mac and cheese for big family gatherings. I've taken it upon myself to be responsible for the mac and cheese for Christmas lunch. I've watched a ton of mac and cheese videos and this is the one!!!
Thank you I’m so it brings me so much joy to know that you are going to try out my recipe. Please come back and let me know how it turned out.

I messed around and finally made this mac & cheese recipe last Sunday. This recipe is dangerously delicious 😋🤤, and addictive. I knew that this Mac & cheese was bussin and fire 🔥. When I ate 2 servings of it at once. I had to immediately freeze and store away this mac & cheese, bcuz it was going to disappear quickly from me. This mac & cheese recipe is the Truth. I highly recommend to anyone to give this mac & cheese recipe a try. Trust me you won't regret it. Just remember that it's addictive and you can easily get carried away. Thanks Freddie for sharing your amazing mac & cheese recipe. ❤️👍🏾🔥😋n
I’m beyond happy that you like my recipe friend! I told you this Mac and cheese was dangerously good lol. Thank you so much for giving it a try and thank you again for talking your time to come and give me a update on how it went I appreciate it. 😊

you think it would taste good with unsweetened almond milk? im lactose intolerant...asking for a friend 😩
@@eleanorperez964 try it with almond milk. It should still taste good for your satisfaction. Remember when you change or alter milk ingredients in macaroni and cheese. You may experience a different flavor and taste. It would be good I'm sure
My algorithm did it again. Mac & cheese recipes on deck! My gosh I love the way you continued to season it. I’m Mexican & we add seasoning on top of seasoning to our dishes too. This looked amazing! Your personality is a delight. Keep it up boo boo ❤

My middle son (12) loves to cook. We watched this video together several times and added it to our summer list of fun things to do. Today we finally made it. He was so pleased and excited and now we're eating it. Oh man. Ohhhhhh man. Thank you, we love the video!
I like using cellentani pasta for Mac & cheese. It's heavier than elbow macaroni. It twists around & has grooves in it & holds the cheese on the pasta.
I got a tip from cook, when making the roux, when it starts smelling like pie crust you know the flour's cooked out
I gotta say Freddie, your roux looks perfect. That is straight up talent! You got me hungry
Yes friend I like to use the corkscrew/cellentani pasta sometimes as well it’s so pretty to me lol. Thank you so much for all the compliments. Please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already I got way more recipes where that came from.
Yeah,i prefer cavatappi also...have not used elbows in years....although its a pain in the culo to do,i also prefer shredding my own cheese-extra sharp cheddar only!
Great tip!!
It’s not Mac and cheese hen lol. Mac stands for macaroni. X
@@hollymurphy-jerrett1894 who cares? its better. you people literally just want something to complain about, it makes you feel good about yourself or something. Like that comment was just absolutely not necessary..

@@cookingwithfreddie I will for sure!
Exactly
Came here to say the same thing!
This lady is straight up the coolest ….. hubby is a lucky 🍀 guy ….
☺️
This is the best recipe for mac and cheese I’ve ever tried! It was so good that my son loves it and he’s never been a fan of Mac and cheese. Anytime I make it people rave about it. Thank you so much!
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽I’m beyond happy to hear that friend! Thank you for coming back and sharing.
I worked in a restaurant and this is how I made the mac and cheese there...seasoned pasta water, manually shredded cheese, sour cream...this is GREAT. excellent video.
What kind of restaurant? Cus most restaurant mac n cheese is terrible or below average. I order mac n cheese everytime i see it on a menu and im disappointed 90% of the time cus its mostly always bland cheese sauce absolutely drowning the noodles (like baby food) with a weak breadcrumb crust with no flavor, no spice, no smoke..hardly even salt n pepper. And i’ve been to hundreds of restaurants throughout CA, OR, WA, Vancouver, Mexico, Greece, Tokyo, etc…actual chefs aren’t putting sour cream or eggs in the recipe and making a pool of cheese sauce. I’ve seen tubs of this exact style tossed away at family functions. This would be a good recipe for children tho
Tremendously skilled narration. Some people narrate a cooking video all you get is instruction but with you you get some real personality. Also I have always found mac and cheese to be a bunch of tasteless slop but it is clear with all the seasoning you put in this is not the case with yours. So keep on doing what you're doing Freddie!
I never comment on nothing but I've been using this recipe for a year now and omg everybody love when I make this dish .
Omg thank you so much for taking the time and giving me some feedback. I’m so happy to hear that you like the recipe. ☺️
the recipie is soooo good. Dude i literally had the kitchen fighting for the left overs

Over the years I've been searching for the best way to make Mac and cheese. I thought I found it 4 years back, but I was wrong. I've tried making it this way twice and when I tell you this can stand alone with nothing else. I was in heaven. The second time I made it I forgot to include a few ingredients and it STILL came out amazing.
Thank you for sharing and I'm watching more videos to learn a few more news things as we speak. 🤗
I made your recipe this past Christmas and my little cousin is still talking about the mac and cheese! Thank you for sharing this. I think it was the best I have ever made! ❤

I gotta say.. I made this recipe and gave it to some friends... His wife literally asked me a year later to make it for her birthday haha I love the energy from this video and you are not lying about people gonna ask who made this or have you make more lol that sazon is such a nice touch. Love your commentary lol
I told you friend lol! but I’m so happy that everybody loved it and thank you so much for sharing
Made this last night and I can definitely say this is the recipe I’ll be sticking with from now on. I didn’t have Velveta so I used a block of Pepper Jack instead, it turned out amazing!
Good to know...I don't use Velveeta
I used Gruyere instead of Velveta and it turned out excellent as well.
Who agrees Freddie needs her own TV cooking show?!

Wow, thank you!
I have this in my oven right now but when I did the taste test before putting it in to cook I had to run to my pc and just say how AMAZING it tastes already!!! I've got corn on the cob and sandwiches in the works to go with it and I can't WAIT!! 10 thumbs UP!
How long did you bake this for?!?!
@@iiihndrxx3239 I followed her directions. Expand up top and it says this: Cover the macaroni and cheese with aluminum foil and place it in oven for 20 minutes.
Take the Mac and cheese out after the 20 minutes mix it well.
Then add the Colby jack and medium cheddar cheese you shredded at the top of the Mac and cheese.
Sprinkle some Cheyenne pepper and some paprika on the top of the cheese place it back in the oven uncovered top rack and let it cook until cheese is gold and brown (20/30 minutes) remove Mac & cheese from oven.
Corn, sandwiches and Mac and cheese, sounds good
Try fried onions with it. Lots of fried onions. So delicious.
And fried bacon.
And fried bell peppers.
Sooo good
@doroparker1702 that sounds soooo good
Being from the south, this is the 1st time I've EVER heard of making a roux in Southern Mac & cheese. It has always been the cheese as a binder for us. I've seen non- African American making it this way, though.
But, I really appreciate your voice over the most!
Well friend from the age of 12-18 I was raised in a African American household and that’s how we made it 🤷🏽♀️. Remember you may be from the south but you’re not in everyone’s home and don’t really know how everyone cooks. Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment 😇
I wasn't raised on it either but the last few recipes I've tried have called for it and I love it. Definitely try it out because it makes a world of difference.

I know that’s right! 😊
Hi Freddie! I was taught at a very young age how to cook by my grandmother. She taught me how to cook a great mac and cheese, but over the years, my husband and I found ourselves looking for new ways to make traditional recipes. Over the past year, I found myself craving a more "creamy" and flavorful mac and cheese. Before I tried your recipe, I tried two other recipes, and it was a FLAVOR THAT WAS MISSING, and I couldn't put my finger on it. I decided this past weekend to search for another mac and cheese recipe, hoping to find that flavor and found your recipe and YOUR RECIPE was it! My husband said it was the best mac and cheese he ever had, and I found the flavor I was looking for, thank God. 😊 Thank you for sharing this recipe as it reminds me of culture... from the way you seasoned to the way you relayed your message while cooking reminded me of OUR CULTURE. Again, thank you, and keep it up!
Your commentary remind me of my momma who passed away 2 years ago this made me giggle and smile ❤❤❤
I’m so glad I could bring a smile to your face ☺️
My son asked for homemade Mac n cheese and then this randomly popped up. I LOVE Freddie's style! And the recipe looks absolutely delicious. I have all the ingredients ready to go! Thank you so much, Freddie!!! 🖤
I made this for my summer cookout back in July, and let me tell you! About 30-40 ppl stopped to ask me how I made it. Thank you for sharing your recipe! It was delicious.
Wow! That’s a lot of compliments! Nice.
Oh honey, yes! As a girl from southern Louisiana that grew up with true Cajun and Creole foods past down for generations I love your recipe. Its so similar to my own , thats been passed down over the years and slightly altered to suit everyone's own preferences. Im gonna have to try yours. It looks amazing!!
Me and my husband were dead watching on TV in living room and I immediately subscribed. The commentary had me! I love it

I told you it was going to be good friend, now you see Freddie can be trusted lol.
Is it spicy?
@@bradfrederick1135 not at all
It had velveeta and kraft products…good lord. Find ya self some real artisan block cheese and dont degrade it by melting it down into a sauce and drowning the noodles like baby food…toss in some pancetta or smoked turkey, jalapenos, thyme n oregano..anything for additional texture or flavor..maybe have some truffle salt or hot sauce or truff sauce on the side…something so it doesnt just taste like a mouthful of buttery baby food. A recipe like this would barely get touched at my fam gatherings
I just made this for tonight’s Super Bowl and I have to say, this is THE most flavorful, cheesy, ooey, gooey Mac n cheese I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It’s a winner for sure.
Glad you liked it friend! thank you for coming back and letting me know how it went
I made this today and might I say, it was the bomb! My mother loved it ❤ I enjoyed making this recipe and I will continue to do it again. The complete seasoning made it all so delicious, so much flavor in one bite! Thank you Freddie. By the way. It was my first time making mac and cheese. It was a success 🎉😊
Yay Friend I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you so much for choosing my recipe and giving it a chance. I appreciate it. 😘🥰😘
I recently made it too. That complete seasoning IS IT!!!
Right? I made the mistake of getting a small bottle because there wasn't much info online about the contents. Never got around to making this, but that seasoning made it into my mac salad, on my pan fried chops, and I can't remember what else. SO good. Went ahead and got the big container. I'm guessing it has garlic, onion, celery, and MSG. I'm not afraid of MSG (because good is good).🤣
@Donica Robinson oh yes I understand. I gitvthe small bottle as well and it's gone. I picked up a larger bottle from Walmart yesterday.

Just made this mac and cheese to go with tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner. OMG!! The flavor is everything mac and cheese should be. I did make some changes based off of my preferences, but this recipe is the base and it is the best I've ever made. Thank you for introducing me to Badia Complete.

Oh. Enough said. 😂🇭🇹 Making this tonight
Facts!💯 The Haitian culture is big in Miami & I simply adore their cooking! When she said, she was haitian, I knew she was coming with some smoke!💕💕
Okay I had to come back for another comment. I want to start off by saying that I have tried many different mac and cheese recipes some better than others. This mac and cheese is the best recipe I have ever tried period!!! The flavor was amazing and so well seasoned. the Badia Complete Seasoning made this mac and cheese spectacular. Saying this recipe was great does not begin to compliment it enough. The only thing I changed was to add a Ritz crust to the top to give it a little extra crunch. I will have to try it with ham on the side next time or grilled chicken! I will be making this again. 10 out of 10!!
I made this for my husband on Thanksgiving and he’s has been telling everybody about my macaroni!! Thank you !!! It was soo delicious!! Best macaroni I’ve ever tasted!!

What kind of Complete Seasoning do you use? And is there a good substitute in case you can't find it?
@@denisemayosky1955 I use the same one she showed in the video. It's Badia Complete Seasoning. They have it on Amazon if you can't find it at your grocery store. I'm not sure I know what you can use as a substitute. I think just garlic/onion powder/salt that's mainly what complete seasoning is composed of. Hope that helps.😊
You can also find Badia complete seasoning at GFS.
This turned out so good!!! I been making a great homemade Mac n cheese with Gruyer cheese, cheddar and fresh Parmigiano 😋 but this is a whole other hit and my kids LOVED IT!!!
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Yes! I have a mac and cheese that's ALWAYS the hit of everywhere I go, and it has the smoked gruyere, seriously sharp cheddar and the shredded parm in it as well as other cheeses. This recipe however is that sexy dirty mac and cheese - the one you wanna eat in bed on a cold day, and need something savory and sinful! lol I've done both, and they both disappeared. They're so different, and yet extremely delicious.
@@cookingwithfreddie
Hello this recipe looks so amazing. I’m researching for the best recipe for mac & cheese for my Thanksgiving dinner I just have a question is there a difference between the evaporated milk in a can and using whole milk in the mac & cheese what would your opinion on this be?
THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE GEMS!!! I NEVER THOUGHT TO PUT MAGGIE IN THE WATER! 🇭🇹 NOW I'M GONNA SHRED MY OWN CHEESE!
Chicken bouillon in the pasta water! Wow! What a great addition to the pasta. My attempts at Mac and cheese has always been dry and crumbly. The rue is the key I think. Also velveeta is new for me too. This looked so good I can’t wait to make it.
Yes you need plenty of butter and fat. It's not meant to be an every day dish, but a treat so it's okay to make it super unhealthy haha.
@@Under-Kaoz 4:52
@@ellenjewell8861 cool she added black pepper?
the roux is there to help it become creamier, and the velveeta has binding agents that help it not go grainy or dry in the end. those are two additions that will change the game!
"My attempts at Mac and cheese has always been dry and crumbly." That hurt my soul, my favorite dish is Mac and Cheese, my mother been making it since I was a baby, my grand mother use to make it with fried chicken when she was alive and I have learned to make it myself. You are 100% correct, the rue is the key to great mac BUT so is the quality of ingredients. You can be cheap but not TOO cheap. You want a mix of Cheese that melts well and one that gives flavor, not just melts well. People sometimes just have melty cheese but the cheese they choose has no flavor, the flavor does not just come from the seasoning, it's the cheese too. And the rue can be heavy cream based, milk bases, sour cream or cream cheese based. All of them work and provide moisture with the mix of cheeses. My mother just did a Gouda and Cheddar with heavy cream based mix. Perfect. Gouda melts well and has good flavor, Cheddar provides the rest of the cheese sauce and flavor.
Girl when I tell you. This is by far the best way to do it. Very easy. And I loves the way you talked us through it. Girl this is the best I've ever made it. Thank you so much.
Omg we made this tonight exactly as written.
Wow. I can’t move.
Incredible.
Your running commentary is the BEST! I'm not even kidding that it brightened up my day to listen to all your positive affirmations!
This one is definitely a keeper. I always struggled with baked mac but this one is pretty much fool proof & the flavorsssss. Whew. Too good.
I made this today for Thanksgiving. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 🙌🏽I used sharp cheddar instead of medium and it was still amazing !!
