Copycat Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese Recipe | Top Secret Re… image

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.       If you like this copycat Chick-fil-A mac and cheese recipe, click here for more Chick-fil-A clone recipes.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the casserole dish
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups half-and-half
4 cups shredded Cheddar
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 1/3 cups hot sauce
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni until al dente, about 7 minutes; strain and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a large oval casserole dish.
  • Cook 2 tablespoons of the butter, the onions, celery and a pinch of salt in a large saute pan over medium heat until the onions and celery are soft but not brown, about 7 minutes.
