CLASSIC SOUTHERN STYLE MAC AND CHEESE
▪225g or 1/2lb Sharp cheddar, shredded
▪225g or 1/2lb Colby jack, shredded
▪225g or 1/2lb American cheese, shredded (sub velveeta)
▪125g or 1c grated parmesan
▪450g or 1lb macaroni
▪3 eggs
▪125g or 1/2c sour cream
▪2 12oz/350ml cans evaporated milk
▪2g or 1tsp black pepper
▪8g or 1 3/4tsp salt

Stir macaroni into well salted boiling water. Cook per package instructions or until al dente (should still have a strong bite and not be totally soft). Drain off water and add pasta to a large bowl.

In a separate bowl make egg custard by whisking together 3 large eggs, sour cream, evaporated milk, salt and pepper.
Add egg custard, melted butter, and about 85-90% of the shredded cheese blend into the large bowl with the cooked macaroni. Gently stir together. Mixture will be very runny.

Bake at 375F/190C for 35-40 min until cheese on top is golden and melted.

As a native southerner who grew up on potluck church lunches on Sunday afternoons, your mac & cheese recipe drew me in...funny enough, my mama made mac & cheese like your 2nd recipe except she always used American cheese (sharp) and Colby - no fancy cheeses. She taught me how to make that nice sauce using flour, butter and milk as a base when I was a teenager...she called it a roux...we never cut our mac & cheese into squares but simply dished it out with a big ol' spoon. Thanks Brian - love your channel!!

Maybe it’s been more specific than being a Southern thing? Maybe it’s a certain part of the South? Or a difference between poorer Southerners vs rich ones? My momma is from Mississippi and she and her 9 sisters have always made mac and cheese the way Brian demonstrated: with eggs and evaporated milk (but never American cheese and more eggs).

9.8/10 on the southern style. I'd add mustard powder and paprika in there. That was the only time I ever saw mustard powder being used growing up and I swear the tin looked like it was from the 50s. And behind salt and pepper, paprika is like the 3rd most used spice in the cabinet. I think it makes us feel fancy 😛 But to get real holidays fancy, there was a dash of Mace thrown in. Mace wasn't for church potluck mac n cheese.

Something I recommend every cheese lover keeps in their pantry.. is Sodium Citrate.. also called melting salts. A small amount added to any molten cheese containing sauce makes it stay consistently emulsified, and makes making cheese sauces an absolute breeze. It's cheap, lasts forever, and is a complete cheat code for anything melted cheese.

Love this British classic. Little tip allow the pasta mornay mix to cool in the tray before adding the topping. A thin but sturdy skin forms on top which holds the cheesy topping better and prevents the sauce from bubbling up into your topping, plus this helps the cheese grill better without humidity. If the skin idea sounds nasty (IJBOL) don't worry you wont know it's even there as it fuses with the crunchy grilled cheese topping. Also for a lift of acidity add chopped onion or chopped tomato. The custard idea makes me want to retch uncontrollably, lumpy wet scrambled eggs all over the floor is a distinct possibility. Also sliced Mac Cheese doesn't look lovely, means your sauce has bombed, it should just hold together without being that firm that it looks like a square. Creamier the better.

For southern, I go the mornay sauce route, with the southern cheeses, and add a half teaspoon of mustard powder.

@mdbbox5660 Жыл бұрын

Yes, this. You get all the velvety, gooey texture of process cheese with the flavor of something tasty. The american cheese in the first recipe has sodium citrate in it already and will help emulsify the others, but you'll still need a bit more for that perfect texture. I no longer make mac and cheese or nachos without it.

Love a baked mac n' cheese. My version uses four cheeses that get smoked (with a smoke gun) before being combined with a bechamel and then the pasta and topped with parmigiano and bread crumbs before baking. I like a sharp cheddar, Gruyere, fontina and parmigiano in equal amounts by weight for the sauce and then extra parmesan for the topping.

20 years I found a recipe in Molly O’Neill’ New York Cookbook. The recipe is an old version of an automat recipe. Pretty much the same as your southern recipe (I also add the parmesan), but includes a 28 can of whole tomatoes, crushed. I found it became addictive. I just read that O’Neill died in 2019, at 66. I gained so much energy from that cookbook.

I use a similar southern recipe that's finished in the crockpot instead of the oven. Always a hit at the office pot luck.

Nice Bri! I pimp mac n cheese as follows... Fry some pancetta (or chunky bacon) in butter (or ghee) for a bit and when it's getting crispy add a finely diced onion and fry until soft, then add your flour and make a roux - add milk etc, then add your cheeses. Combine with cooked pasta of your choosing and put into a baking tray. Add thinly sliced tomatoes across the top (must be thin or too much moisture) then your final cheese topping and bake. Cheese and onion are great partners, bacon (pancetta) and tomato love each other... "Pimp your mac n cheese" :)

One of my pet peeves about food youtubers is the food orgasms they always film when eating what they cook. For whatever reason, I always found it obnoxious and insincere. In my mind, you've unlocked that. The "let's eat this thing" segment at the end of your videos doesn't rub me the wrong way that others do. Congrats on that, I didn't think I would ever see it solved. Maybe it is the light hearted playfullness, I dunno...

Haha thanks for the feedback. I also don’t love watching people enjoy food in YT vids. I try to limit it.

Hello to you! I am a new subscriber. I have been looking for a baked Mac and Cheese recipe that does NOT use a flour roux when I stumbled upon your two way recipes. I recently made the Classic Southern Style Mac & Cheese… and it is THE BOMB!! My husband and I both loved it!! I will certainly be making it again… and I am now looking through your videos to see what else I might want to make. Thank you and have a blessed day!

I'm really pleasantly surprised I can easily follow an American food channel, and it's because he mentions weights in grammes and temperature in centigrade. We used to use the old imperial meaures of cups and ounces, etc, and Fahrenheit, but we moved away from it two or more generations ago, and I struggle to fathom the old measurements our U.S. cousins continue to use, and I'm sure they might say the same for our metric measurement system.
