 Mac and Cheese is a classic comfort food that has been loved by people of all ages for generations. Whether you prefer it plain and simple, or jazzed up with extra ingredients, Mac and Cheese is a dish that has always been a crowd-pleaser. Art of making Southern Style Mac and Cheese, and I am excited to share this recipe with you! This version of Mac and Cheese is cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor that will leave you wanting more. First, we start with the basics - elbow macaroni. Cook it according to the package instructions until it's al dente. The noodles need to be firm and not too soft because they will continue to cook while baking in the oven. Next, we make the cheese sauce. We start by making a roux with butter and flour. Once it's smooth, we add whole milk and heavy cream. We then add Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and the star of the dish: Sharp cheddar and Gouda cheese. The combination of these two cheeses adds depth and richness to the dish, which will make it stand out from other Mac and Cheese recipes. We then combine the macaroni and cheese sauce mixture in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and top it with a panko breadcrumb and parsley mix, which adds a nice crunchy texture. We bake it for 25-30 minutes until the breadcrumbs turn golden brown, and the entire dish is heated throughout. The result? A delicious, cheesy, and creamy Southern Style Mac and Cheese that is sure to warm your soul. It’s the perfect side dish for family dinners, potlucks, or just as a comforting meal on a rainy day.
