Would I make this for dinner every night? No. I wanted to perfect this because it’s a southern classic, an heirloom recipe if you will. And a show-stealing move-the-heck over green bean casserole Thanksgiving side. It’s sophisticated without being fancy, classic without any processed ingredients. And ladies & gentlemen, look no further for your classic, creamy mac & cheese fantasy complete with a cheese pull: it is here. Lately, I’ve been really drawn to classic comfort food recipes (must be the holidays!) and how we can make them just as amazing as they were when Grandma made them but without the processed ingredients, mysterious canned goods, Crisco, Velveeta, and the like. No weird spices or super fancy cheese or herbs or whatever in here. Yes, this is TOTALLY your Grandma’s creamy mac & cheese.
