Notes
For the ultimate creamy texture, it’s important to use full-fat cream and cheese. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it often contains anti-caking agents that can affect the smoothness of your sauce. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce. You can also customize this mac and cheese by adding extras like cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or even grilled chicken. If you're making this in advance, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat on low heat with a splash of cream to maintain its creamy texture.
