https://www.thechunkychef.com/family-favorite-baked-mac-and-cheese/ This is my base recipe/technique, but with way more seasoning and usually a panko bread crumb. My oldest is allergic to egg, which is why I started making this style of Mac and Cheese instead of my family's usual recipe (which has egg and is absolutely delicious)

look up tinis mac and cheese on tiktok!! it’s sooo good!

@Raqi Omg 💀💀 neverrr

I don’t have a recipe, but I follow steps similar to the one Raqi posted (and I also do panko topping), and definitely use smoked paprika rather than regular. I also add onion powder and possibly garlic depending on how I’m feeling that day.

Mac and cheese is so easy! We make it in the instant pot and after cooking the noodles, you just add shredded cheese, cream cheese, and evaporated milk. Add regular milk if it's too thick. We also like to add steamed broccoli

Tinis recipe on tiktok is really good

I third tini’s mac and cheese BUT dont overcook the flour!!!

I would fake an illness. How soon is it? Is there time to practice?

@Bianca yes just don’t be like the ppl on tik tok and hate on her for it being to dark from the USER error of the roux lol

@Zainab🗝️ there you go.... cuz if I didn't know how, I would've rejected the assignment lol it's one of the most important dishes. But seeing all the variations and panko....... nvm they might be ight...

It’s really hard to F up a mac and cheese my 14yr old can make a superb one. I have faith in you! You can DO this!! Go and knock their socks off Xx we use the Panko crumb topping on top of the cheese to give it some nice crunch.

@lauren yeah that’s too much pressure for me. I don’t consider it an easy dish.

@Zainab🗝️ me either! I spent my whole childhood just assisting and learning. But hey

@Patience FOR REALLL!! gotta watch that flour😂mine was a little grainy the first time i made it

Baby try Tini’s Mac and cheese recipe! Look her up on Tik TOK

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Lqrrtc/

@Scar yesss!!!!

Make sure you use a recipe that resembles the Mac and cheese yall usually eat! If yall eat wet Mac make it wet and vice versa lol

@Daija I’m sorry WET mac n cheese? 😭😭

@Patience have you not seen the Tik tok drama about wet vs dry Mac and cheese?!? It has instilled a new fear of that dish in me 😭🤣

I can’t make suggestions without knowing is this a Black thanksgiving or something else?! Cause we don’t play about Mac and cheese 🤣🥴 half of these suggestions I’m like NOPE, do noooot do that! but again, depends on the audience/diners.

@Daija I’m saying 😩🤣 you put it better than me but uhhh, yeah what kind of dish do they expect changes the answer.

@Lauren same! I had 20 years of studying to be granted such a responsibility lmaooo

@Raqi YESSSS 🥹❤️

@Rachel I'm sure that's good on a regular night, but thanksgiving mac and cheese is meant to be as baked as the big cousins coming back from their walk around the block 😂 Instapots and crockpots have no place being involved in mac and cheese on Thanksgiving and I will die on that hill 😅

@Nika no fr. Im like this one too wet, is that bread crumbs?? I don’t see no paprika in that one lmao I didn’t want to ask if she was black but like yea that matters here 😭😭

@Daija no facts cause several of these recipes gone have you bringing paper plates and utensils the following year in a Black family 🥹🥴 we take that dish REALLY seriously! Everybody saying it’s easy got me shaking in my boots lmao

@Nika literally had a sit down meeting with my brother in law last year to discuss what went wrong with his best friends Mac and cheese last year 😭😭 she usually does well but last year was ass. We went over her ingredients and everything 🤣🤣

@Daija I remember my ex mother in law was trying to make my younger brother in law’s YT gf feel included and was like “you wanna help Shanika with the Mac and cheese?” BRUHHHH if looks could kill! Cause no ma’am! Let her bake the rolls or something but the Mac and cheese is SACRED! And I use my dead grandma’s recipe which is not share-tastic. I had her stirring the roux cause I’m not about to play with you on thanksgiving! Not under my name lmaooo

Broccoli in mac and cheese?! 🚩🚩🚩

@Raqi THAT PART

@Nika I cook cook and still refuse to do Mac and cheese lmao I took up baking to avoid it

@Nika you feel me?! I read the room and shutup though 😆

mac and cheese is pretty easy but if you don’t like to cook it or don’t want to continue cooking it every year make it taste bland lol 👀

@Deja that's just so my toddler eats veggies. Definitely wouldn't recommend for Thanksgiving 😂
