Recently my mother purchased a Top Secret Recipes cookbook and in flipping through it I found many delightful recipes, the one that appealed to me the most was Cracker Barrel Mac&Cheese. Various items were purchased and tonight Capa offered to help me try, so off we go.
You can find the recipe here if you want to try it. Here are my thoughts.
- It took a surprisingly long time to make. I mean it didn't take forever, but it was a while and you were working on it pretty much the whole time.
- It's super nasty cold. Like, so nasty.
- It tastes a lot like the Cracker Barrel Mac&Cheese, which is good because it's supposed to. When we first saw it we were quite skeptical.
- Some of the instructions were hard for us, adding flour to butter makes a paste and it was a leap of faith to wait for it to bubble. It didn't disappoint, but I had trouble believing. For the record, Capa did not.
- While it's quite good, I feel like it makes a better side dish than a main meal. It's very....rich. Very cheesy. Which I'm sure is often a desired trait for mac and CHEESE but since I'm not a huge cheese fan I can only handle so much.
- We took too long to start the sauce or something because the noodles got cold and rubbery after they cooked and drained, before we mixed them in. I think it worked out okay.
- I really suck at spelling recipes. I always always say recipies.
