It needs something to help it stay creamy, to help suspend it and that thing is quite often a bechamel–milk thickened with a bit of cooked flour and butter. Real cheese–and not Velveeta or other eerily stable cheese products–really doesn’t like to be melted, cooled and remelted again. Oh, it still tasted awesome but I noticed that the leftovers didn’t reheat well. I was pretty sure I’d died and gone to mac-and-cheese heaven and from rereading all of your comments today, it seems that many of you agreed.īut when I made it for a second time in January, something wasn’t right. There was no bechamel and you didn’t even have to preboil the pasta. You see, I gave you a recipe last year for something that was honest-to-goodness-ly the easiest macaroni-and-cheese recipe ever invented. I promised you this and I had to make it right. We’re just weeks from bathing suit season and this here is no friend to lycra.īut I had to.
