>make roux
>put whole milk, finely chopped onions, garlic in a pot
>put on a low-medium heat
>boil some water and add it and macaroni to another pot on a high heat
>when the milk is getting hot add the roux
>mix the sauce
>keep mixing
>when it's thick enough add vintage cheddar
>lots and lots of vintage cheddar
>mix until it's melted
>add ground pepper and salt to the sauce and mix it in
>drain macaroni
>put macaroni in a cassarole dish
>put cheese sauce over and mix it around to cover all the macaroni
>slice some tomatoes
>top the macaroni cheese with tomatoes and grate some more vintage cheddar on top
>oven for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned on top.

so close, but you just can't into mornay. add the warm milk to your roux, not the roux to the milk. add the cheese slowly, and it's honestly better to use milder, easier melting cheeses, then use a small amount of sharp, old cheese at the end for a flavor punch. keep trying anon, you'll get it someday.

I make macaroni and cheese with cream, and cheddar. And ground yellow mustard seed. I don't bake it because it makes it less creamy.

It will turn out fine, but don't go overboard with the ingredients.

You literally disgust me.

If you have trouble melting cheddar then you're probably not buying cheddar. And mild or sharp is down to taste, I personally prefer using just sharp because mild cheeses just aren't my thing.

>not liking tomatoes

It's okay, one day your taste buds will fully develop.

well boys I'm doing it anyways, here goes to all the advice /ck/ has given me in the last 20 minutes or so. If this tastes bad, /ck/ will never live this down.

>>5469678
It will turn out fine, that's how you make mac n cheese.

>>5469722
>liking certain things means your taste buds are more "mature"
Sure, guy.

>t o m a t o e s

>>5469730
Cooked tomatoes are Gods gift to the cooking world.

>>5469735
Not on mac and cheese its not.
That's like adding olive oil to Asian dishes man.

>>5469737
>muh authentic macaroni cheese

Now I've heard everything.

>>5469721
no, i know what i buy, and if you're telling me a hard 8-10 year cheddar with near crystalline grains in it isn't going to make your mac a broken, goopy mess, i'll throw some money on the /ck/ betting table right fucking now.
