Hey everybody .
Welcome back to er Soul Kitchen .
So in this video , I'm gonna be showing you guys how to make a cast iron skillet , baked macaroni and cheese .
So I hope you guys all enjoy this .
I truly did and I wanted to share it with you guys .
So without further ado , let's get started .
I have some elbow macaroni noodles .
They're boil in .
I'm gonna cook these till they're authentic and they have the oven set for it .
All right now .
So I'm gonna , I'm not gonna make a roof for this .
I'm gonna give my traditional size which calls for Velveeta .
I'll leave all the measurements in the description box below .
This is a 4 ft block of a 32 ounce block and I'm gonna add in some milk and like I said , everything will be in the description box below the measurements .
So I'm just gonna stir this up and I have this on medium heat and you're just gonna wash this so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot .
So I'm just gonna mix this until it's melted .
Yes , I'm using this Sargento off the block sharp cheddar and I also have a bag of ford steak cheddar .
I'm gonna use these for the macaroni , but right now I'm gonna use 1/4 cup of the sharp cheddar cheese .
Um , and I think I'm gonna add just a few sprinkles of , of the four state cheddar too .
And I'm gonna add it into , um , the cheese sauce that is melted .
So I cooked the news for packaged direction .
So I'm just gonna bring those .
So we gonna overcook .
Oh Look at that steam .
Yes , I'm in and some salt and pepper .
I could ban them into this one .
measuring now I'm in and then our egg one tablespoon of butter .
All right .
So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to mix this all up everything .
Well combined .
Last time I forgot to mix the egg y'all in my first macaroni and cheese video .
So I didn't want to forget this time .
Right .
So I let this cheese um cook down and here is the cheese blend that we're going to add into this .
Now , I know you're probably thinking it looks really thin , but when you start adding all those cheeses in , it's gonna suck all that liquid up .
So you wanna make sure it's not really thick .
I mean , if you like it thick , you can add um you know , flour to it .
You could have made a roof first with the um butter and the flour , but this is just easier for me and you know , I know the taste is there and it's , it's really , really delicious y'all .
So I'm just gonna mix this cheese in and like I said , everything is in the description box .
The measurements I mix the cheeses together is about 3/4 cup and it's actually making it thicker already because I'm gonna let this thicken up a little bit more and then I'm gonna add this into the noodles .
See y'all already thickening up just for me , adding a little bit of cheese into there and we still have more cheese to add .
So you wanna start off slowly and , and , and you know , um you wanna start off thin because it's gonna thicken up and I mean , you ain't trying to block nobody's arteries .
So you wanna make sure you wanna make sure that you have um a good balance , right y'all .
So now that cheese sauce , I'm gonna go ahead and pour that .
See , already thickened up y'all .
I wouldn't steer you wrong .
I promise I would not steer you wrong .
I've been doing this for a long time , a long time .
So I'm just gonna mix that into here .
Get that cover .
Really ?
Really ?
Well , this is um a large cast iron skillet and I'm just gonna phrase this with some olive oil .
So sorry y'all see that it's actually on ST too sorry about that .
All right .
So now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pour some of my macaroni cheese mixture .
See that there y'all .
Oh , it looks so good .
So I wanted to let you guys know too .
If this gets too thick for you , you can always add a little bit more milk in .
If you want it thick , leave it thick and it all you have to do is let it sit and don't get thick .
All right .
So I'm gonna pour a little bit , I'm gonna lay this bottom with some mac and cheese .
OK ?
So that's it .
This is what's left in there .
Pull it back over there .
You can see flatten this out .
Now , if you watch any of my other macaroni and cheese videos , you know that I like to layer in it because I like cheese all over my macaroni and cheese .
There's never too much cheese , there's never , don't let my taste it too much .
All right .
So I'm gonna ahead and put the four cheese .
Sure .
So how with four cheese ?
Um , this is so four steak .
So I'm just layering this .
I'm gonna add a little bit more uh milk into here once I add this in because I don't want this um to suck up the liquid .
That's right here , but more milk in here just so it doesn't , we're gonna put that through anyway , we put some short cheddar cheese on top of this too .
This is how you make sure you get the cheesiest cheesiest mac .
All right .
So I'm gonna take my spoon and I'm gonna just put that through it and the remaining um macaroni on top of this .
Look at that y'all look at so my phone for that .
All right .
So I'm just gonna level this , let it out that milk at the bottom .
I'm gonna just poke through .
So it will be like just milk in there if you add more milk in the description box .
Like I said , I keep telling y'all because I know everybody always asks me where's the recipe ?
And it's in the description box , you just drop the air down .
Everything you need to know will be there .
All right .
So I'm just getting this milk that I added at the bottom to be blended in .
Now you see that it's starting to suck it right back up again y'all , but it's just enough .
All right y'all .
So this is what it looks like .
Now I'm gonna add some more cheese on top .
So now don't worry about if you see extra , it's watery , whatever .
I'm gonna add the rest of this um four cheese on the top .
I'm gonna eat it all and left .
Add a little bit of the sharp cheddar cheese on top as well .
Try to even it out .
Don't , don't go crazy because you need to make sure you have something to uh cover the top with .
All right , because we're just using this right now to poke through again .
So you're gonna be really careful not to use it all .
OK .
So now we're gonna just go ahead and put this through .
Yeah , when I tell you , I mean , this method right here is what gets people right here .
You don't like Velveeta cheese maker root .
Actually , I'm just gonna , so now that I put that through , what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna put the rest of the main bag of that sharp cheddar on the top of here .
So you're gonna need all that cheese if you want more , buy more , but you're gonna need , you might want to get an extra big just to make sure the last thing I'm gonna do is spray the top with some olive oil just a little bit and I'm gonna Sprinkle some pepper on here , which is uh completely optional .
Now , I'm gonna place this in the oven for um 20 minutes .
So , but it's all done .
We're gonna wait for this to um you know , melt down and get gooey and goo .
All right , y'all , this is where we're at with it .
This is about 20 minutes .
I think I'm gonna leave it in an extra five minutes .
All right guys .
So I just pulled this out the oven .
Here is the finish cast .
Our skillet , fake macaroni and cheese .
Y'all .
This looks so bomb .
So I'm gonna be doing a mukbang on this and um you guys can go over to my channel .
The link is in the description box .
If you don't watch that , I'm gonna eat this with some lobster tails .
But this is how this is how it's done y'all .
This is all you gotta do .
This is all you gotta do .
It looks amazing .
Amazing .
So this is the inside of it .
Look at it , look at that y'all that cheese , that cheese in the middle .
But anyway , y'all , that's it .
