I made this dish last week. My daughters response: “Mom, this Mac and cheese is BUSSIN!!! Can you make this for Thanksgiving?!” Try it out y’all, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
I make this mess at the station for my thanksgiving throw in… it’s a hit every time.
I made this for Thanksgiving it was a hit! Question tho is how did you reheat it bc we got leftovers?
@@countryboy8643 I just put it in the microwave. But I put a microwave lid over to kind of steam it a little and melt the cheese a little better
@@SimplyKrissy88
Ok thanks for replying
either im slow or i just dont have that baked mac and cheese razzle dazzle in me because i cant get it to hit at all, like ever lol
Mr. Make It Happen is one of the best cooking channels in TH-cam history. It’s like cooking with a homie. Much love and respect to you, Bruh, Bro, Brougham! 🙏🏽👊🏽
Agreed! He is so interesting and so easy to watch. Never boring! Thanks, Mr. MIH! Keep doing what you do. In our house, we love watching you.❤🙏
Matt said smooth it out like a rocky relationship 😂
thanks for your support!
Hi!! I have a pro tip for you Mr 😍 get some baking soda and sprinkle the bottom of your pan. Add a splash of vinegar and stir to make a paste. Turn on your stove and let the pan become warm but not hot, scrub with some hot water and dawn soap. You got yourself a clean dutch oven, with no left over stains!
Love mac and cheese, no matter how many recipes I can always learn something new
I saw it! I made it! I think I’ve found what I’ve spent years looking for…this is gonna be MY Mac n cheese recipe for life! My finicky children loved it….and so did I! Thank you!!
U added the sweetened condensed milk too? How was that? I might try a small pan like this
Don’t sleep on the Velveeta. One cup of Velveeta with your sharp cheddar, Gouda and pecorino gives it a more velvety texture that I absolutely love. I also throw in some Havarti to make it a party. And if you really want to be fancy use half butter, half duck fat for your flour mixture and top with toasted Panko crumbs.
@@justine7143 i don’t like velveeta, it has an after taste no ma’am
@@shawne2681 interesting. I don’t notice any unpleasant aftertaste other than cheese. Are you using Velveeta from a block or something else? And are you using more than a cup?
@@justine7143 i have never personally used it, but when I’ve had it in mac, i believe they used the block
Team Rue using cream cheese; gouda; sharp cheddar; asiago; sour cream; colby and vermont . I watch many mac-n-cheese videos and watching you it is time for me to make a dish, enjoyed your video.
Everything I'm cooking for Thanksgiving this year is from your recipes ❤
When I say trust him, I’ve made his previous Mac and cheese recipe. It’s a great hit with my friends and family
I learned this year to use my food processor to shred cheese! You should try it
Matt this is LIQUID GOLD. Mac & Cheese recipe is fire 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for sharing your amazing Mac & Cheese recipe!!! ❤️✌🏾♥️
🙋🏽♀️ I used to use Velveta like my auntie taught me. 😅 But, she also put me on to condensed milk. I don’t have any Gouda but I’m making this for dinner tonight! Thank you Chef! Also, compliments to your barber. Fresh! 🤩
How was it ?
🤤 I want a plate of that right now 😅 I will definitely be making this and sharing this link everybody I cook for is going to go nuts over it!
You never disappoint 🙌🏽
Most definitely trying this out for Mother’s Day☺️
Facts!! NEVER
How did it turn out ? My Mac and cheese always get stiff after it sit from coming out the oven
Looks so good! I like egg in mine. I usually use sharp, mild cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella. Im definitely gonna try it your way. Thank you!!
Me too!!!1
I’m making this on Sunday, looks delicious 😋
The finishing product looks spectacular 🎉🎉
Making this recipe for thanksgiving ❤ Thank you for sharing!!!
Yummm I love mac / cheese 😋. Using smoked Gouda was a game changer for me along with Asiago and fontina 👍🏽
Love Love Love your recipes! This one looks especially delicious! I’m trying this today!❤😊😊😊
I used this recipe for thanksgiving. The Mac and cheese was amazing. Thank you
Today is 9/2/23.. Tomorrow, we're having our own family reunion in our city. Only the 2nd time since 1985. I was asked to bring a "signature dish"! I automatically thought to try this recipe. I'll be making a Quadruple batch. My son said "Ma, show up & show out"! 😂 I'm going to par cook my macaroni today, shred cheeses. I also made 54 mini Banana Pudding Cakes. It's going down, tomorrow at 2pm!! Nervous about the Mac, but I'll update tomorrow! Thanks Matt ❤❤
Been 8 mosnths what happened you were the star weren’t you come don’t hold back brag a bit you deserve it
I love Matt's Ultimate 5 Cheese Mac & Cheese Recipe. I have been making it for the holidays for 2 -3 years now. It's so dang good, as is. I see he changed the cheeses up in this one, so I'll have to see how I like this blend compared to the other.
I tried out this Mac & Cheese this year Nov. 2023 and it was a hit. My family loved it. 😍 Thanks for the recipe. 👍
Absolutely the BEST I've tested. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely delicious 😋 will be my go to recipe 👍 love the pro tips too and thanks so much!!!😀
Made it! Absolutely love it!! Thank you!!
Just made this tonight. Fantastic!
Your recipes are always top-tier and never miss! I tried your way of making mac cheese and boy was it chef's kiss. You have the best cooking channel on TH-cam.
I have to try this method. Condensed milk sounds like a great sub for the sugar I usually put in mine. 👍🏾
absolutely!
I'm gonna make it the whway you did it
@@MrMakeItHappenDo u have a Recommendation for a Cheese Shredder???
@@bridgetclement2968you can use a regular grater or mandolin. If you don’t have one and you’re in a tight pinch you can cut really thin slices off the block of cheese and then cut the slices into thin strips it’ll all melt down
This is hands down the best mac and cheese recipe I’ve tried this is my go to for family dinners and it’s always a hit. I use the old video tho this has some updates
I must be 7 years old at heart because I was ready to eat as soon as you mixed the cheese and noodles 🥹🤣 this looks so good
You are the reason I am team Roux. I usually do your other recipe but will add this spin to it. Love it!
so good. I made this for a potluck at work and everyone loved it!
I’m making it today !! Merry Christmas 🎁
looks absolutely mouthwatering matt, gonna give this one a shot!
Been researching mac n cheese for thanksgiving for a couple weeks now. This might be the most enticing recipe on youtube.
Gotta be roux. I use whatever cheeses I have on hand which lately has been mild and sharp cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan and Colby Jack. I usually have some pre-shredded pizza or Mexican blends that I will throw in too. I love a good Gouda Mac though.
Keep those recipes coming! I cook your recipes!
Awesome recipe! I love adding Fontina cheese.
I'm glad you didn't completely brown the top. Looks delicious!
Really like the addition of smoked gouda!👍
I’m team Mac and Cheese - no preference at ALL!! I can eat it with the egg, with the rue, stovetop, oven baked; you name it! I’m Mrs. Mac and Cheese Connoisseur!! But Mr. MIH, I have a question…why didn’t you put your knife on sale for all of the mothers in the world? Because without us, there’d be no you all!! That would have been dope! I would have copped a few for all of my favorite women in the world!! Anyway, much love from Orange County, California!!
Or give my girl gas she lights my bedroom up
Same! Lol as long as it tastes good I’ll eat it
@@janaywright1 🤜🏾🤛🏾 Yesssssss, EXACTLY‼😉☺
Exactly 💯
He’s a small business owner, he probably can’t afford to put his knives on sale for all of the holidays you think is most important. There also wouldn’t be any “you all” without fathers either, and he happens to be one, so get over yourself.
OMG it looks sooooo good. Mouth is watering. Love your reactions after the taste test! LOL 😂
I absolutely love how you teach as you cook it shows you love what you do!!! You inspire me to be a better home cook❤👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️# team rue never eggs!!!!
I will definitely be trying this recipe. I love fontina in mac and cheese so I might add that to this.
This is how I make mine, I love the roux method and different cheeses
Goodmorning☕️
Thank you💙💙💙
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Never going back to my old recipe 💪🏾😊🔥 I Love Every recipe I've made by him!! You Are the real MVP❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looks delicious; will have to try. I usually use a combination of Gruyere and Tilamook Sharp Cheddar (I'm on the west coast)
This looks so good. Can’t wait to try it for the Fourth of July.
looking good ! I like to add bacon pieces to the mix and some panko bread crumbs on top & bake it.
Yep, looks fantastic and I’m thrilled there’s no egg in this! 👏🏽😊
Now, that look super scrumptious and perfect 👍🏿
Lord have Mercy!! Your Mac & Cheese looks sooo CREAMY AND TASTY!! Mouthwatering!! And, I esp LOVE the idea of using 5 different cheeses. Absolutely going to try your recipe. Your never ever disappoint. Thanks loads for sharing. Arlene
thanks for your support!
@@MrMakeItHappenWhat kind of Pan are you using??? I don't think my Pan can make it like this!!!
I've been following you for a few weeks and decided to make Mac and cheese using this recipe. I've made it my way several times but I tell you your recipe is gonna be it from now on. The use of the rue without egg is sooo yummy 😋. And your method is less time consuming. Thanks 😊. Hubby is quite happy 😊. Lol 😆 🤣
I love ❤️ everything you cook. 😍😍
Thank you for this recipe!! I finally made the best Mac n cheese❤️ My family loved it, very delicious recipe ❤️❤️
I use: extra sharp cheddar, gruyere, parmesan, and sometimes a little mozzarella for fun stretchy cheese pulls (and so I can say it's 4 cheese).
Team roux all the way. Never added a single egg to any baked mac'n'cheese. I don't usually add garlic because I'm afraid it'll overpower most of the cheese flavor, but after seeing a bunch of recipes that all include garlic, I might reconsider. I also usually use cayenne instead of paprika, but most people on here seem to use paprika, so I might reconsider that too. (And I use a LOT more white pepper than you do!)
To be honest, I've never been a fan of adding a layer of shredded cheese as a topping, as it always comes out too oily for my taste. It's buttered panko + finely grated parmesan for me. I love the crunch.
Use a full 1/4 portion of mozzarella. It helps the consistency in every way. You are right to stay away from the garlic in this dish. But I'd rather have paprika than cayenne unless your intention is to make a spicy version. I also use bread crumbs for that crunch. I just lay out a nice layer of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs on top and then sprinkle a little Parmesan on top of that. Just right!
The sweetened condensed milk is a must! ❤❤❤
This looks so incredibly cheesy and delicious - I can't wait to make it!
Looks absolutely mouthwatering! I am a southern girl, so I am typically team egg. I am not opposed to roux though. I have not tried the sweetened condensed milk trick yet. You have encouraged me to try it. I like adding a little cream cheese to my Mac and cheese along with some sour cream. ❤
Roux is southern though. It comes from Louisiana.
@@kylem1112 where I live, most people use egg instead of roux.
Yummmmmm
Yummmmm!!! I’m a southern girl too!! But your additions sound delightful! I’d LOVE it if you could be so kind as to share your recipe with me! I would LOVE to give yours a try! Cream cheese and sour cream sounds AMAZING!!!! Also, I love your name!!! I love ALL Kims (we are AWESOME!!!!) 🥰
@@k.i.m.withkim9512 🥰 I don't really follow recipes. lol. I just throw whatever I want in there. All kinds of cheeses, beaten eggs, etc. I do find that the mixture will always look too wet and sloppy before you bake it. All of that will get absorbed by the noodles while it bakes. Trust me! I love adding cheddar, monterey jack, cream cheese, swiss or gruyere, mozzarella, parmesan and any other cheese I have in the fridge. Plus lots of black pepper and just a pinch of cayenne.
Team rue! Looks so delicious!!! Think i will get the ingredients this weekend. Looks like heaven! 😊
Glad that you recommended shredding your own cheese, it does makes a difference. All people have to do it. Make it happen lol
Whew! I made this and I didn’t even put it in the oven. This is a hit.
You most definitely never disappoint! I’m team roux. I’m definitely going to try your recipe!
Baked mac & cheese is the best! I like to use sharp cheddar cheese and jack cheese in mine. I like to top it with a little more sharp cheddar and parmesan before I bake it. I have try the garlic thing next time! Thanks for the recipe!👍👍👍👍👍
Im gonna try it this way. Little skeptical about the condensed milk but im open to trying new things!
Im team roux. Love my sharp cheddar, Gouda, mozzarella, Parmesan.
Love this so much❤
I’m going to try this recipe.
Definitely trying this recipe
thanks for your support!
I tried this recipe tonight and it was a hit!
Definitely Bussin!!!🎉🎉🎉
Love it it looks delicious ohmmmmm
This looks so good and my fav cheese combo is gouda, sharp and muenster. I use cream cheese as my secret ingredient.
That looks so good!!!😋😋
thanks for your support!
I make mine with a roux and always add a little Velveeta for creaminess. Imma have to try your recipe with the half and half and cream. But it is definitely a must to grate your own cheese!
I will be trying this recipe this weekend🤗🤗 I love your tutorials! They are super easy to follow and the ingredient list is not crazy expensive. I've created two of your recipes, and both have been bangers!! It's safe to say that I'm hooked at this point😊
How was it ?
@karine8738 I haven't made it yet, but I will try and make it this weekend. I'll report back soon😊
@@charmainemillet Thanks ! :)
I am going to try this version for Mother's Day. I did your other one (heavy cream, half and half) last week and I had 7 different cheeses, lol. I was cleaning out the frig and didn't realize what I used until a friend asked what I used. It was good!!!
How was it ?
Ok sir. Came across your channel with this recipe last night. Made my list of ingredients, ran to Walmart this AM…AND…..it’s in the oven. Oh man does it look good!!! I used cheddar, Colby Jack, pepper Jack, mozzarella, Parmesan. Next time, I’ll use more cheddar. I like how you “taught”. You spoke calmly, slowly right into the camera!!! Thanks for sharing your passion. Will look for more on your channel 🫶🏽👍🏽❤️.
Looks great!!! Love your channel. I go real simple. I use Velveeta mac&cheese and add butter, 1/2&1/2, smoked gouda, smoked provolone, American, mozzarella, and the cheese sauce that comes with the Mac. Also I bake up some cut pieces of bacon and add to it. The Mac usually comes out real sticky and gooey. Then I take a little more 1/2&1/2 to make it creamy.
Thanks for your recipe! I LOVE mac and cheese so I appreciate ANY recipe I get for it, so I’ll be sure to try yours out as well…again, thnak you!!
That is a terrible recipe.
Very Delicious and Creamy Macaroni and Cheese you made 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My local meat market often has packages of “cheese ends” - what’s left from slicing - these are packages of a variety of cheeses and great to use for Mac and cheese.
OMG yum yum give me some that Mac and cheese looks fire 🔥 I’ve always use eggs but I may be converting to a rue after this video and I pretty much use the same cheeses you chose tfs this fabulous recipe 🥰
Mac and Cheese is my kryptonite, lol. Well done. This looks so so good. Thank you for posting. I use, Cheddar, white American, in mine, and because I live with someone who loves heat, pepper jack. lol
thanks for your support!
Always, thank you for your yummy recipe. Please keep them coming. 😊😊
This looks so good. I might use some pepper jack cheese to give it a little kick.
Looks very good. I add a bit of nutmeg to my white sauce before adding cheese, and I think instead of the smoked Gouda, I would use guyerie.
I also like mine’s with seafood and pepper jack cheese added as well!!
I'm team Mac & cheese with a roux base. I'll definitely try all five of the cheese you recommend in the recipe.
I only use extra sharp or sharp cheddar just yellow or sometimes mixed with the white and yellow block cheese, butter, can milk, no eggs and it be cheesy. I known about the rue cheese sauce just never tried it but have had some from others that do make it and yes it’s good. In a way am old fashioned and it never disappointed me yet. Macaroni and cheese look delicious. Enjoy thanks for sharing.
I have cooked several of your recipes so I’m not going to question the sweet milk
Love your recipes😊
thanks for your support!
Loved this, I made it with your roux:)
Unbelievably rich!
bro u really know what you're doing❤
Man!!! You are the first one I’ve seen who makes M&C with sweet condensed milk like my Maternal Grandmother Emma aka Gang Gang! I know this recipe ‘slaps’ 👑
I like Havarti, Colby & Jack, Mild, Mozarella & Extra Sharp and I got them from one of your older videos
My fav is baked but im just team mac all the way,Im def trying this one out and am interested in the condescended milk flavor!
I add eggs to keep that consistency when it sit afterwards and cooked in that oven. It maintains that creamy texture and not stiff, but if there is enough sauce and cheese- milk- It shouldn’t get too stiff. But I like what you did and it looks good! Mac and cheese is so good especially when it doesn’t dry out. You got it going on!
Going out tomorrow to get all the ingredients!!! Mac n cheese for dinner tomorrow.
Perfect, I'm a Mac and cheese nut and this has everything needed, I might even throw it on the smoker kicking up the heat!
And I always laugh at the sounds, cooking or social media 😂😂
Delicious
Love love love making homemade mac n cheese! I use whatever cheese I have, which is usually mozzarella, havarti, gouda, swiss, etc. I have never heard of using egg in this recipe, nor have I seen a recipe requiring it! So, I do the roux.... going to try this recipe next time.
