Between Dani, Lizzy foods, Mr. Make It happen, and Smokin & Grillin' with AB my cooking skills and food be on point!

Danni's commentary is unmatched! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

I’m currently going through chemo. Can’t stand to eat much, but pasta. I made this today, and I could just cry. It’s sooooooo good. Thank you so much!

I swear, if there was a movie where Jennifer Lewis needed someone to be cast as her daughter, this would be it🤣. Her voice, charisma, personality…. Every time she speaks I think of her. They sound and act just alike… naturally full of life🥰.

I don’t think there’s another KZfaq chef quite like this woman she is so upbeat funny and down to earth it’s like she’s everyone’s cousin 💕💕💕💕

I just looooove seeing black women successful, happy and resting in their femininity! Your recipes are amazing also, and your content is hilarious. KZfaq gold 🏅

Listen if I ain’t learn nothing else from Ms Danni-KEEP YOU SOME CHICKEN BULLION !!

When she yelled at the macaroni for jumping out of the bowl 😆 she’s one of my new favorite people!!

I made this today (my first time making Mac & Cheese) and someone told me it reminded them of the one their grandmother would make. I'm honestly so proud of myself. Thank you, Danni.

It's you airing out the THIEVES fah me! Yes ma'am! Can't nobody do it like Danni.... or her mama! ❤

"Life is already complicated , food ain't got to be ! " Love this quote !!! 💜

GUURRRL! You gone fool around and help me catch a husband with food like this!!! 🤣🤣🤣 That bouillon powder was GOLD! I’m not a great cook I’m learning to cook. But I made this today and everyone LOVED it!! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.

There’s a person on tiktok calling this her own recipe but someone in the comments pointed me to this queen right here ❤️❤️❤️

I made this tonight at my husband’s request and we just finished eating it. My husband said “This that keep a man mac n cheese!” It rly was very good.

OMG HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO PAY ATTENTION WHEN SHE’S MAKING US LAUGH YHE WHOLE TIME 😂

I hollered when she said DROP DOWN AND GET YOUR EAGLE ON BABY ! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Once she said she was from Alabama, I knew there was a reason why her southern cooking is the best ❤️ she serves the LORD and yells Roll Tide !!!

Why isn’t anyone talking about how BOMB Dani looks?? She was already fine but this new lighting is GIVING!!! That top is everything! Not you giving us a lil skin!!❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful…..and yeah the food is sopped up!!!❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

Because thanksgiving is creeping up around the corner! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Made this last night and the technique of mixing the cheese with the noodles is a keeper. The pockets of cheese is exactly what I love about mac n cheese. Also, love that her recipe uses a cold or room temperature custard with no flour. This is definitely a keeper.

“DON’T CALL IT SOUTHERN BAKED!!! Cause it really AIN’T!!!” 😂 My absolute favorite part of the video. I can NOT WAIT to try to this recipe. Everyone was doing the happy dance at the end, so it HAS to be a real hit! Thank you in advance, Queen! 🙏🏽😍👑

She has the personality of my favorite cousin, the style of my favorite boujie auntie, and the cooking forte of my favorite big mama. SIS YOU'RE DOING IT ALL AND WE LOVE YOU FOR IT 💖 💖👏🏽👏🏽

I watched this video 7-10 times , not for the recipe but the PERSONALITY, the short stories, the comparisons & all 😂. I learned a lot from watching it over and over , I heard something new every time . - a slave came up with Mac & cheese - camera man has OCD - if you get caught with her man , you’ll end up getting disability check monthly, she can throw them hands 😂. Keep up the great work

Girl, I've been watching your channel and stealing your recipes for years now. I just wanna say I'm so insanely proud of you. From where you came from, where you are now, and obviously where you're headed. Keep going up!

This is literally the best max and cheese on the planet!!! I’ve made the recipe straight from the video and it turns out delicious every time. If you’re reading this, contemplating whether or not to make it…stop thinking and just do it. Best food on God’s green earth fr fr!!

I’ve definitely seen the people claiming it was their grandmas recipe and throwing in Mayo to try to throw us off. No one else was making it this way until yours lol. All their “family recipes” came out after. Same ingredients.

I used this recipe last Sunday with some Oxtails w/gravy & rice, homemade candy yams, cabbage w/ smoked turkey necks, & some cornbread…everything was a success! Best macaroni ever!

First off, may we give a shout out to your mom!!! Thank her for letting you share her recipe with us all. I made it for the first time and it came out perfectly and great flavor. I'm never going back to box Mac and cheese unless I'm pressed for time. Thank you to the Moms. We love you ❤❤❤

She’s taught me how to cook for the holidays with confidence knowing my food will be delicious 😋 I just LOVE watching her and using her recipes🔥🔥🔥that personality is ❤❤❤ Thank you for great videos ❤

This is DEFINITELY my go to Thanksgiving Channel baby!!! Don't play

My family had a Mac and cheese bake off contest today and guess who won? I used your recipe and added lobster...kicked it up even more. The kids judged and they had no idea who cooked what. My own kids didn't recognize my recipe because it was yours with a little seafood punch to it. The winner won a gift card so thank you for your contribution to my success! lol. Happy Thanksgiving. Love your channel!

My mama (she was black) made something very similar. She never grated the cheese: she sliced it thin, and she only used cheddar. She made it like lasagna. Layer of boiled noodles, a layer of pats of butter, a layer of chopped onion, a layer of salt and pepper, then a layer of cheese, and then repeat as many times to fill the pan. She topped it off with the custard mix: eggs, cream and milk, and another layer of cheese for the topping. Best mac and cheese evah! So I am going to try your recipe with the bullion and sour cream in a cast iron skillet. Can't wait! By the way, you need your own cooking show. Your personality is addictive and AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing your talents!

Ever since I saw Danni put chicken stock in her macaroni it's got me doing the same thing and my macaroni and cheese is off the charts good

I learned how to cook Mac and Cheese from watching you. Now every time I make it, it get sopped up 😂

Danni: Mama! They filming you! Mama: they can't do that! 😭🤣🤣

Omg this woman is giving me life! Give her a show please!

I knew when you cut the mac and cheese and you said i know you going to want the corner cheese on top ... Yesss i love your channel ... Thank you for bringing cooking that our grandmothers and mothers taught you put it back on the map in a young and passionate way . Thank you

I have a 7 cheese recipe thats costs me $30 a pan to make. This is gonna be my off pay week pan. I praise Him 🙌🏿

“Don’t call it southern baked cuse it really ain’t” put that on a t-shirt girl ❤️‍🔥

This is the best Mac and cheese recipe. I cook myself and while i don't have your experience, i used what i know to make some adjustments to accommodate what i have in my house readily. I used rotini since all the elbow macaroni was sold out (the spirals have pockets that hold more cheese 🤤 so i wasn't mad at the swap), i have sazon rather than seasoning salt. If you think about it, it's not too far off. You get the color from the achiote and all the flavor from the other seasonings. I used a little less cream and more milk since it was all i had. I used two eggs, a whole 16 oz container of sour cream, and Mexican melting cheese in between the pasta layers along with the cheddar. If anyone's used Oaxaca cheese, well iykyk 😏. Thank you for sharing! The dish is always a hit 🎯

I just want to say that your videos give me SO MUCH LIFE! As a mac and cheese addict, this is my favorite recipe to follow! Thank you from my mac and cheese filled heart for this beautiful recipe!

I just wanna say...my 94 year old very picky and particular grandmother LOVED this mac n cheese at Thanksgiving lunch. I spent ALL morning on this recipe. I got so many compliments on my cooking this afternoon which was unexpected and you and your mama deserve ALL the credit. Thank you thank you thank you, this was AMAZING and I hope yall had a memorable day today! ♥️

Danni, you got talent and your personality is “ Bomb”. You make everybody wanna get in the kitchen and cook with you!😊

Just made this for the 3rd time, couldn't find heavy cream nowhere and searched everywhere for 5 days 😒 used half and half this time and I'm not worried about a thang...it was so good the other times..it's my go to TY ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I came here for the recipe, which words can begin to describe how Goodwood it be!!!!. But I'm also here for her voice and her personality. I was cooking this and laughing like she was in the kitchen with me lol.

Thank you for calling out Lawry's for changing their recipe. I remember my grandma using Lawry's and black pepper to season fried chicken wings and beef tripe back in the 90s! What a tragedy now 😞

Yessss! This is how we make it. Only difference is we use can evaporated milk 💖💖

This is my mother's last Thanksgiving and I'm going to cook up a storm thank you so much for the mac and cheese recipe.

I already use your recipes religiously, and I cooked your first version of this earlier. But I’m binge watching your channel, because you’re hilarious. Thank you for helping me feed my family amazing food.

Girl... this is THE only mac and cheese recipe you'll ever need for the rest of your life. DELICIOUS!

Don’t you EVER stay gone that long again 😭

I love how enthusiastic you are. I can't stop laughing!!!.😂

The ENERGY❤ IS SO BOMB I CRIED LAUGHING ABOUT THAT DIFFERENT KIND OF BOIL WHEN U CATCH YOUR MAN 😂😂😂 Gurl that fighting the air got me all cried out I loved the energy

Girl you had me cracking up the whole time. “Wait on the Lord and wait on your macaroni”. Now that’s two things I love the most in this world! 👏🏽🔥

Lmao calling out the ones trying to pass the recipe off as their own and they were LOUD AND WRONG I love it. I noticed that too. Nobody can match Danni 🥰😍 the beat up old metal bowl is pertinent to the Mac and cheese recipe lol

Just wanted to say that I saw your original video and made your mac n cheese for Thanksgiving and my family loved it! It was incredibly good reheated as well!

I'm so Grateful to see a young lady that is cooking like myself keeping it old skool 🙌 She knows what she's doing Shouting out from Louisville, ky

This is blessed and highly anointed. These new age cooks love making a “cheese sauce” Nah, mix it all together and oven it. PERRIOD.

I love Dannis commentary. This is how I be talking to myself while cooking like I got my own show.

I swear this is by far the BEST Mac and Cheese recipe I have EVA made!! Thank you SO much 😊

I Absolutely love her humor and energy

Clicked on this so fast.

When she said “My name is Barbara 😛 I love cookin” 🤣🤣🤣 18:22

Thank you!! I worked on this for 2 hours this morning and was told by my picky family it was the BEST macaroni they EVER had

I absolutely Love ❤❤❤ the personality as she cooks & this is a new way of cooking baked Mac & cheese for me. I make a bechamel sauce, with carnation milk, flour & butter then melt the cheese in that. Next time I'll definitely be doing it this way. I really like that custard idea and doing the layers 😋😋😋😋

I just love how she incorporates the audience and her film crew in her videos! It makes us all feel like family!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️

"Make him wait on itt!" Wait on the Lord and wait on your macaroni, Amen" 😂😂👀😘😘🙏🏼

I love her, she has such a great personality and voice ❤

Made this last year....EVERYONE LOVED IT. Currently watching it now as I have Thanksgiving on my mind HEAVY so duhhh I will be making this again!!!

I know her film crew couldn’t WAIT til filming was done so they could grab a bowl 😂🤣😂🤣

Girl you are so right we used one type of cheese. It was the cheddar cheese 🧀 with the Black wax on the back. Or the government cheese we got in the long brown box. Bring back the Ole days. I miss those day. Never can get those days back S/O to your Mama "G" 💘 Loved it

I made this macaroni for my family last thanksgiving and my family said it was the BEST macaroni and cheese. Literally simple AF , mama knows!!!!

You are the real deal, young lady! I love your cooking style and I love your wonderful spirit!

You’re about to break the internet 🤩🥰 this is how I found you in the first place 😋

You’ll hear from my lawyer soon lol 😆 I saw the original one tonight and now I’m here on this video, I love the glow up imma try this recipe for thanksgiving never tried sour cream in Mac n cheese can’t wait💯😍

Made this for my Honey on 7/10/22 (His birthday). I had made a previous recipe off youtube a few months ago but didn't save it. I was looking frantically for it....until I saw yours. I made it and I have to say, that was the best macaroni and cheese that I've ever eaten in my life. I made it in my Lodge cast-iron skillet, as well. I believe I have every Lodge cast-iron available. I LOVE them. Danni Rose, YOUR recipe will be my go to from now on. Hoping I can eventually remember it without going to the recipe (lol). I will be trying some more of your recipes, for I definitely hit the subscribe button.

I followed this recipe for my second attempt making baked mac n cheese. I made it for Thanksgiving and they cleaned the pan out!! So simple and so much cheese and flavor

Your glow up is absolutely AMAZING to watch! I remember watching the Sunday FB live cooking sessions that were always lit! Continue to prosper and grow!

Feels amazing to see a woman like me being authentically herself and successful!!! ❤️

I honestly was just looking up random stuff I haven’t been sleeping much and just been depressed hunny when I tell you you put a smile on my face had me over here dyin I loved everything about this video I’ll be excited to make this tomorrow 🫶🏾🥰😘

GIRLLLLLLL so let me tell you how I followed your recipe step by step and made this for my family and they absolutely LOVED IT!! We are originally from the islands and we do make Macaroni pie but it is a bit different..my girls said they def enjoyed the Southern style better! Thank you soooo much for this recipe, it’s now at household staple in our home. Sending much love from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦♥️ #BrownsRUs

I’ve never seen this woman before in my life but I LOVE her energy. **Subscribed**. I also know what I’m bringing to Thanksgivings dinner.

Made this and I have tried so many mac and cheese recipes…I can FINALLY say I have found one that is perfect. No damn cheese sauce, no damn roux, no damn velveeta. Nothing crazy. SO simple yet amazing and I think it’s because you can taste the love in your mom’s recipe . Thank you for sharing. ❤️

That Run at 19:42…. Priceless!!!!! Watch yourself girl……. You can sing.

Made this yesterday and it was a HIT. Definitely a great recipe that I will be sticking with.

Finally someone who does Macaroni Pie like we do in the Caribbean. My mum does it the same way but it's a dump and go. Add the milk, cheese, egg, seasonings etc in one dish and mix together. The heat from the macaroni just melts and brings everything together! Definitely the Caribbean way!

Dani I know you are about to get folks ready for the holiday season.....but when that is over can you please do a "quick weekday" series? Meals that are for us working folks that don't love to cook

1 year later and you have carried through Thanksgiving morning in the kitchen. Thank you and Many Blessings to you🙏🏾💐

One thing I miss about my nana is cooking with her, she had me cooking by the time I was 6.. I know all her recipies🥰❤ ..You could never get me in the kitchen with some youngins 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I only learn from my elders and I'm so happy that you share your mother's and probly her mother's reciepes because they know best and that real 🥰❤👌👌💯💯 But one thing I miss MOST just like the other night, I forgot something, and I couldn't call her to ask her how to do it anymore. 😔💔 I miss these days most😔❤ CHERISH THESE RECIEPIES AND THE TIME WE HAVE WITH OUR ELDERS AND COOKING WITH THEM FOR OUR KIDS🥰❤❤❤ LOVE MOMMA🙌🙏❤❤❤

She would just "slay" the food network with her delivery...this girl is on fire!!🔥💯

Me and my kids don’t celebrate pilgrims and genecide but we celebrate family and ancestors and we had our dinner tonight. I’m eating it right now and want to tell you and your mother that you are blessed us with this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing this! From the very bottom of my soul!!

i will be making this again for thanksgiving. it was a hit in 2020 along with the candied yams recipe. first time cooking and i got the black auntie seal of approval

The crew doing the happy eating dance says it all!🤩

The intro was wholesome with momma luv🥰 Edit: Oop 0:57 😂

I really appreciate this remake! Clears up a lot of questions we had from the first one. The simple cheddars, and the 2 layers when putting it together makes this so much easier to just throw together now. Also, the cooking times in different dishes is a big help. Thank you so much!! Btw your meatloaf recipe is my favorite!!!

I can't believe this my first time seeing this lady she deserve a TV show on food Network if she don't have one already
