What is it about restaurant-style mac and cheese that doesn't have the same zing that the box one has?

trying too hard. you ruin the flavor of shit by making it too "gourmet." compare taco bell to an actual mexican restaurant. it's just not the same

Kraft is ok but if your raised on the stuff you cant tell what good mac and cheese actually is. I have an awesome mac and cheese recipe that I made for a friend when he came over and said the kraft looked weird. Told him its not craft but actually good mac with real cheese. LIke real fontina and sharp cheddar. Took a few bites said it was bad and just wanted kraft again. He had been in and out of foster homes for most of his life so he grew up on this stuff. So OP you have no taste for the good stuff. That sucks but hey enjoy your cheese powder.

I can cook homemade macaroni and cheese no problem and I guarantee you it doesn't get turned down, but I don't have to because Kraft perfected it, though a few other brands are just as good. You didn't even mention the essential ingredient in home made. Enjoy your tight-curved still hard walmart pasta mixed with your cheap grated cheese.

>> No.17067031

I wasnt trying to convert I was just trying to make something for my friend i though would enjoy. You know something homecooked because hes constantly eating big man meals. Kraft is fine just trashy and easy. Also ya know..... cooking is not making kraft.

You can replicate the zing with whole fat Greek yogurt added. It gives it the similar tang that Kraft has that no one else does.

Just use a bit of annatto as a seasoning in your home made and it replicates it.

It's the froo froo cheese and the baking that overcooks the pasta that makes it bad. Even Kraft, which is the best, is only good when very al dente and eaten within 20 minutes of turning off the heat. It's best right away while everything is still soupy and runny.

make a regular old cheese sauce on the stove top, properly spice it, boil the noodles, mix them together.
And when I say regular old cheese sauce, I mean regular old flour/butter/cheese/milk/salt/pepper/paprika/maybe annatto, etc cheese sauce
