Just an important suggestion regarding adding oil to the pasta water…it’s best if oil isn’t added as it makes the pasta slippery and with Mac and Cheese the sauce/cheese will not stick well to the “oiled” pasta. You’re welcome. 😊

Looks very nice and I love that you cook out the flower in the butter you took the couple of minutes.. so that's already a win for me. Personally I don't put oil in the water while the pasta is cooking so the cream can stick beter to the mac. Yours looks great so it's fine☺️

I think you might have boiled (Over Cooked) that Macaroni , for far too long before you placed it into the oven to cook even further.(I don't mean to seem like I'm coming off as "a Simon Cowell " or a Chef Ramsey ) (No shade or judgement etc ) . (Recipes are Recipes , To each his own) . I suggest you dont be afraid of Salt (Unless you have High Bloodpressure) But i recommend maybe 1 or 2 table spoons of salt , and 1 TABLE SPOONS OF SUGAR will make your "Mac and Cheese taste sooooo Supreme). Your recipe Still Looks very tasty and delicious mamm. 😋 P.S I know how much it it is important to watch our sodium intake, but GURLLLLL, in my world...when it comes to southern dishes, we can't "half step at all " to experience those true down deep southern traditional flavors ").

Hi! Tell me how you make your Mac and cheese and I might be able to offer suggestions to keep this from happening, here is my recipe. Mac and cheese Preheat oven to 350 Mac 16 ounce box, cook in boiling water for about 9 minutes, 1 cube of butter, 3 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon sea salt 1 teaspoon pepper Onion powder 1 tablespoon Garlic powder1 tablespoon Sharp cheddar, 1 cup Colby jack cheese, 2 cups Parmesan freshly grated 1/3 cup 2% milk 1-1 1/2 cups, evaporated milk 3/4 cup or 1 full can (15 ounce) Bake 350 for 30 minutes Cook noodles till just slightly Al dente so they don't over cook in oven. Drain and rinse. Heat Dutch oven to medium high, melt 1 cube of butter, add 3 tablespoons of flour, use a whisk to stir, be sure to get all lumps broken up as you stir, turn burner down to medium heat, continue to stir as you cook flour until you start to get a slight brown color, about a minute or 2, this is important to cook flour so sauce doesn't come out pasty. Add seasonings, stir in milk, then evaporated milk, add mustard, stir in cheese until sauce is creamy, drain and add noodles, stir to combine sauce and noodles well, pour into baking dish, top with more cheese, bake for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into it, be careful not to burn your mouth tasting this, Thank you for watching!

@@dinnermadeeasywithdena I was making it in basically the same way, but using whole milk and Cheddar cheese with a touch of dry mustard mixed into the final sauce. As I said, everything is fine until I put it in the oven. Now I'm wondering if I should lower the oven temperature because I live at sea level?
@dinnermadeeasywithdena

Make sure when you get ready to add the cheese, that it is shredded, try taking your pot off the burner and stirring the sauce a bit before adding in the cheese, stir to allow it to melt off the burner, also turn oven temp down, you can broil the top at the end to give it the nice golden top, when I use the evaporated milk it is room temp and not cold when I stir it in, it helps to temper the sauce from being to hot for the cheese as well. I should have said that in my video, I hope it helps you, Thank you for your comments and questions. Let me know if this helps!

You're a very nice person and this is a very good recipe but you absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely do not need oil in your water. All you need to do is Stir it at the beginning. The oil coats the pasta and does not allow the sauce to penetrate the noodle and this makes the dish Less Pleasant. I'm sorry if your mom instilled in you that you need to put oil in the water but she was wrong and you are wrong because you do not absolutely do not absolutely do not absolutely do not need to do that. You're only making the dish less than it could be
