I litterally made both the Mac & Cheese and the Turkey Meatloaf... Both were absolutely fantastic. The meatloaf was the most moist turkey meatloaf I've ever had!!! Thank you sooo much for this!!!

Love topping Mac and Cheese with panko! I usually toss my panko with melted butter, garlic salt, and Parmesan then put it in the toaster oven to crisp up. The added crunch takes it to the next level.

@madthumbs1564 5 жыл бұрын

Trade off; more glaze or more fat. I thought the cheese sauce looked too thin and didn't complement the ridges on the macaroni. They also didn't specify brands which can be very important. Cooper sharp American blows away any other sharp American I know of.

@andrewsawler777 5 жыл бұрын

@@madthumbs1564 LOVE Cooper Sharp American, but in this recipe the American Cheese is for texture more than flavor; the sharp cheddar provides the real mac n cheese flavor. I made this and found the sauce to be just right, rich and creamy, not thick and gooey. Quick, easy and delicious. Don't skip the toasted panko crumb topping!

I use my food processor to pulse up mushrooms. Then I freeze in muffin tins. When frozen, I put them in a freezer bag. Toss a couple of those (defrosted) in the meatloaf mix and you have umami AND moisture.

Love it! Mac 'n Cheese in one pot. This is a big victory for Mom's! For times when I'm out of my favorite grass fed organic milk, shelf stable powdered coconut milk + boiling water is a great substitute, so that's yet another option. After making turkey meatballs a few times, I realized I didn't like it tasting so much like turkey, for some reason. So next time, I bought roughly equal amounts of turkey & chicken, which subdues the turkey flavor, plus adds some fat. I like it & have since used that for meatballs & crumbled in tacos, several times, so would like it in a meatloaf. Since then, I've considered trying some pork or beef with the poultry blend, to add more fat, & play with the flavor, but haven't yet. Also, instead of packaged white bread crumbs I use 1 or 2 slices of a multi-whole grain loaf bread, or an Ezekiel bread, depending on the volume of meat. My mom had made a similar sauce when making her delicious meatloaf, & then draped strips of bacon over the top, which browned & also basted the loaf. Bacon strips might enhance a turkey meatloaf as well.

@MHarenArt 4 жыл бұрын

Your turkey meatloaf is very similar mine. I use a couple of different things for moisture. In addition to most of the ingredients you used I add about 2 T of mayonnaise to the meat mixture (mine is usually one pound), and I add a good cup full of finely diced sauteed mushrooms. They surprisingly do not make the meatloaf taste mushroomy, but it does add another level of umami. And as they are diced so finely, most people would not even know they were in there. The worcestershire sauce is a must and I've been known to use one or two drops of liquid smoke. The saucy topping is pretty much the same too but I add a bit of dried crushed basil.

Sorry ladies. I've had similar recipes many times and they are wonderful. But the BEST mac and cheese (in my opinion, deferring to my grandmother and my mom) has to be baked with sauteed onion, extra very old cheddar added during the baking so it becomes crispy around the edges before searving. It is less creamy. More solid, but not too much. Try it some time. Amazing! Love and respect to you both! J

If each episode is its own playlist, I'll probably end up watching it all anyway. Thank you for keeping up the hard work!
