And BTW, if your dish turns out grainy, you probably didnt take the bechemel off the burner and SLOWLY (14 cup at a time) add cheese to it while mixing gently.

Use baking soda and vinegar, dryer sheets, or hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to clean your sheet pans.

Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil.

Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes.

Drain well.

When the butter starts to foam and bubble, stir in the flour; cook on medium heat until flour just begins to turn pale yellow, 3 to 4 minutes.

Turn heat off, then add 2 14 cups of Cheddar cheese; stir until melted and combined.

Mix panko bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl, and sprinkle crumbs on top of macaroni and cheese.

I did not try this myself but based on the message I got at my break--they absolutely loved it.

To be honest, there were no leftovers for me They thought the crust was the best part.

I was skeptical of the thyme so only filled the 14 tsp about 23 full.

I dont know which I liked better, the crust or the filling, they were both delicious.

This was the closest to my moms, and all kidding aside, a terrific success.

The only changes I made was 18 cayenne (because of kid), made only 12 oz.

I didnt have panko crumbs so I made my own crumbs with leftover bread.

This will be my go-to mac and cheese recipe for now UPDATE: This time I left out the thyme and worcestershire.

I added 12 teaspoon garlic powder and 12 teaspoon of onion powder to the roux.

I used 10 oz. of macaroni.

I didnt add the breadcrumb topping.

But Ill have to leave out the cayenne next time due to picky kid (although I love the kick of the cayenne).

How anyone can say this macaroni and cheese is bland is beyond me.

Perhaps you used cheap cheese which tends to be oily and doesnt have the best flavor and texture.
