Day 1 of my Thanksgiving series: The best 5 cheese Mac and Cheese 🧀🦃 The BEST and ONLY mac & cheese recipe you need on your Thanksgiving table! Rich, creamy, extra cheesy, and baked to golden perfection with five different cheeses! Full recipe below ⬇️ Pasta • 2 lb elbow noodles • 2 tbsp chicken bouillon powder Seasonings • 1 tsp onion powder • 1 tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp Nature’s seasoning • 1 tsp blackened seasoning • ½ tsp Cajun seasoning • ½ tsp seasoned salt • ½ tsp black pepper • ½ tsp smoked paprika • Fresh parsley for garnish Cheese • 8 oz mild cheddar • 8 oz extra sharp white cheddar • 8 oz Colby Jack • 8 oz smoked Gouda • 8 oz mozzarella Cheese Sauce • 3 tbsp unsalted butter • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour • 12 fl oz evaporated milk • 3 cups heavy cream • ½ of all cheeses Instructions: 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tbsp of chicken bouillon powder. Add the elbow noodles and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add your seasonings and whisk for 1 minute. Add the flour and continue whisking for another 2 minutes. 3. Slowly pour in the evaporated milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and has thickened. Pour in the heavy cream and whisk until everything is completely combined and smooth. 4. Turn off the heat and begin adding half of all your shredded cheeses. Whisk until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is velvety. Reserve the other half of the cheese for layering and topping. 5. In a large bowl, mix together your cheese sauce and elbow noodles. In a baking dish, layer your Mac and cheese and finish with cheese on top. Sprinkle extra smoked paprika over the top for color. 6. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 25 minutes. Turn your oven to high broil for 2–4 minutes until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly. Allow your mac and cheese to rest for 10 minutes before scooping and enjoy :) #fyp #macandcheese #thanksgivingdinner #recipesoftiktok #creamy - @mariahhcooks
