However, sometimes you are looking to make your mac and cheese more creamy to get that gravy-like texture. Usually, mac and cheese come with tomato sauce and bacon, which gives the dish a smoky and salty flavor. When preparing a dish, it is imperative to avoid overworking the batter with too much flour, especially when you will not be making a roux.Īlternatively, cornstarch can be substituted for flour. However, if you use the stovetop method (which is more convenient), then it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. Not waiting long enough for the cheese to melt – If you use your crockpot, then your dish will take about 4 to 6 hours to boil. Yet, if you don’t have a very hot stove (but still want the dish creamy), a pound of butter is usually adequate. The amount of cheese used in some recipes is not enough – For four cups of macaroni, many recipes will state 1/2 pound of cheddar cheese. If you do this, the pasta will become cakey instead of creamy. In this particular case, the mistake is to avoid clumping, however, what you shouldn’t do is to mix your pasta too much (if at all) before adding it to the pot. This way, you’ll be able to tell if your pasta is cooked. A simple mistake is not cooking macaroni long enough after you boil it in salted water, but once it’s done drain it and you’ll have avoided this mistake altogether.
