The bacon grease made the whole dish just a little too greasy, definitely sticking with just butter from here on. Also made this again using extra sharp cheddar and pepper jack instead of colby, which really robustified the flavor.
Made this tonight! It was awesome. Question though, the mozzarella wasn’t completely melting. Do you use part skim or whole milk mozzarella? I’m suspecting the part skim was to blame.
I made it for Thanksgiving and it was so incredibly delicious we devoured all of it by the end of the weekend! Definitely making again for Christmas! Thanks Tini!
If I am making it the day before, do I prepare everything and layer it in the dish, then cover and refrigerate until I am ready to bake the next day? Or do I wait to layer it until I am about to bake it the day of?
It was great!! I will say maybe bake it for 30-35 minutes before broiling. It took a little bit longer to heat up since it was in the refrigerator for 24 hours!
Would i be able to prep this completely the night before, put it in the fridge, and bake right before serving the next day? Would i need to change anything?
This is by far the best recipe I have ever come across for Mac&Cheese. (I have tried many!)
MY FAVORiTE RECiPE TiNi 🫶🏽🩷
Made this today and added chunks of peppercorn bacon (about 12 oz.), also used some bacon grease in making the roux. Will report back with results.

I have celiac and made this with banza cavatappi and GF flour and it was still sooo delicious! Best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had even pre celiac lol

Best recipe I've ever made! Thank you!
The ONLY Mac n Cheese recipe you will ever need!!! Made this several times now, always a hit. Thank you Tini!
I made this for FriendsGiving and I almost didn't get any myself. Everyone said it was delicious!
I am love with this recipe! Just tried it for Halloween and my family LOVED IT! I will be making this every year from now on!
how much does this recipe make for?
12? Made this for Thanksgiving (along with turkey, many sides and appetizers), and it was luscious, very filling. Very filling.
If I am making it the day before, do I prepare everything and layer it in the dish, then cover and refrigerate until I am ready to bake the next day? Or do I wait to layer it until I am about to bake it the day of?
I’m wondering the same 😩
I made it last night, layered it, and covered it in the fridge. I’m baking it this evening so I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Amazing!!!! Looking forward to hearing about it! Thank you!

Perfect!!! Thank you!!!
can you update us on how it was please?
tini do we use unsalted butter? :)
I use salted butter for cooking unsalted for baking.
thank you!🩷
unsalted butter is always better to avoid making it super salty!
okok i figured just wanted to double check thank u!! :’)
How can we print it out
Would i be able to prep this completely the night before, put it in the fridge, and bake right before serving the next day? Would i need to change anything?
Cook the pasta 7 minutes instead of 8 if making the night before.
