COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE | TOP SECRET RECIPES
The new Mac & Cheese at Chick-fil-A is baked fresh every day, and the recipe is more complex than you might expect from a fast food chicken chain. According to the official list of ingredients, the formula includes several different kinds of cheese including Parmesan, Romano, and award-winning hard cheese from Wisconsin called BellaVitano. The BellaVitano cheese adds a subtle nuttiness to the mix and all three hard cheeses contribute big umami flavor that nicely complements the blend of white and yellow cheddars. Those five kinds of cheese combine to make a great flavor, but the blend would melt into a greasy mess if it weren’t for the assistance of one more ubiquitous cheese: American. The benefit of American cheese—which makes up for its lack of flavor—is found in the sodium citrate it contains. This natural sodium salt is an emulsifier that keeps the fat in the cheese from separating (and it also happens to be useful in preventing kidney stones!). By first melting several slices of American cheese in the milk we don’t need to make a roux to create a perfectly smooth cheese sauce. As for cooking the macaroni, here’s another secret: don’t follow the directions on the box for al dente pasta, because you don’t want the pasta to be al dente, or slightly tough. You want to cook the elbow macaroni for 20 minutes so that it absorbs as much water as possible. This will ensure that the pasta won’t suck up liquid in the cheese sauce when they are combined, and the sauce will maintain a perfectly creamy consistency.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Place 1 inch of water in a large pot with 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
- Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook about 2 minutes.
- Stir in flour. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continually 3 - 4 minutes, to cook out the flour.
- Add the milk and continue whisking, raising heat to medium-high until it comes to a boil and becomes smooth and thick, about 2 minutes stirring; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Once it becomes thick, remove from heat completely onto another burner if possible. Add the cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup at a time mixing well until cheese is all melted.
- Stir in cooked cauliflower, then pour into a baking dish and bake until bubbly and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Then broil 2 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned.

CREAMY MAC AND CHEESE - ONCE UPON A CHEF CREAMY

STOVETOP MAC AND CHEESE - GIMME SOME OVEN
2017-12-18 · My son is a very picky mac & cheese connoisseur and while he likes most of my cooking, he’s never been a fan of any mac & cheese recipe I’ve tried. I have celiac disease so I used gluten-free pasta and gluten-free flour. In the past, I think due to the gluten-free flour, the cheese sauce has always had a grit to it. I read through the comments and used corn starch instead of a gluten-free ...

ONE POT CHILI MAC AND CHEESE - DAMN DELICIOUS
2014-03-15 · Great consistency, great flavor, hearty, and, since cheese is only sprinkled on at the end, more healthy than many chili mac recipes. Also, great idea cooking the elbows in chicken broth–I seriously would have never thought to do such a thing. For folks who want more kick–add a bit of jalapeño. For folks who want more “soup,” add less pasta. Be careful not overcook!
