I am a huge fan of a Classic Mac and Cheese, so I really put a ton of time and effort in making sure I got it RIGHT, and I am really convinced this is the BEST macaroni and cheese recipe out there. For years I’ve been trying to figure out that exact combination of those basic macaroni and cheese ingredients to make a baked macaroni and cheese recipe that came out creamy enough for me, but still in that Southern Macaroni Pie Style for my classic-loving husband who always wants it from the local soul food restaurants. People: I have done it. Creamy but not saturated like a pan mac and cheese, this recipe is, in my humble opinion, the perfect macaroni and cheese.

You can change the cheeses, you can change the milk. You will, I know you will. And that’s okay. But I cannot be held responsible for how it turns out unless you use my exact recipe. More extra sharp cheese, or substituting any lower fat cheddar, regular gruyere, etc will make the sauce gritty. Using all Medium or Mild Cheddar will make it more gooey and bland.

Substitute gouda or fontina and you’ll get more of a pan-style sauce. You’ve been warned ( but if that’s what you are looking for, go for it! ) Update: Okay, people. As predicted, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this recipe. Let’s take a minute to answer some so you don’t have to comb through the comments if you have a similar question about how to make this an easy mac and cheese recipe!

FAQ for Southern Baked Mac and Cheese: Let’s keep it short and sweet, shall we? What is the best cheese combination for macaroni and cheese? It’s what I put in the recipe: Medium Cheddar plus Extra Sharp Cheddar. That’s why I chose those cheeses, and that’s why ( IMHO ) this is the PERFECT Mac and Cheese recipe! Can I substitute all Extra Sharp Cheddar, Muenster, Brie, Aged Cheddar, an old shoe I found behind the QuickMart? But like I said above – the cheese changes more than just the flavor.

It changes the TEXTURE! And I strongly feel the cheeses I’ve listed in the recipe create the perfect balance of sharpness AND texture. But you do you, boo! ( and if you LOVE the combo you found, share it with me! ) Can I freeze mac and cheese? You sure can – but be aware: dairy and the freezer don’t always love each other, and frozen mac and cheese that’s been reheated is never going to be good as the fresh version.
