Ree Drummond's Sheet Pan Mac & Cheese _ The Pioneer Woman _ Food Network

She pan macaroni and cheese to be exact .

So I actually added two cans of evaporated milk to a pan and I am sprinkling in salt and some dry mustard .

Love the flavor of dry mustard in mac and cheese .

I try to always add it some hot sauce , of course , for sure .

Oh , it's really heating up in there .

So I have three kinds of cheese that I'm going to add to the sauce .

I'm going to start with the good stuff .

This fine cultured cheese from the south of France or not .

It's processed cheese from America and then a cup of cheddar and a cup of which I think sort of elevates and cancels out the processed cheese .

Don't you think Alex ?

At least we can tell ourselves that .

And then I'm just gonna whisk black pepper .

OK .

So this is the sauce .

Look at this .

Oh , that should be illegal right there .

So I've been boiling mac and cheese and I'm sorry , I've been boiling macaroni .

Why didn't you guys stop me ?

I don't know .

I kind of thought about it .

Oh , I love this contraption .

You know that phrase farm to table .

This is pan to pan .

Oh baby .

All right .

So I'm gonna stir this around .

Oh my word .

This looks tremendously delicious .

I'm just gonna let the macaroni sit in the sauce and I'm gonna make a cheese topping .

So I've got the rest of the , the rest of the cheddar and Parmesan .

All right .

I got that topping mixed together .

This is just a really cheesy topping .

You can do bread crumbs if you want , but I really don't think this mac and cheese needs it .

Oh my gosh .

That looks so right .

So come to the oven and I'm gonna show you a little trick .

OK .

I put this sheet pan in a 425 degree oven about a week ago .

No , I'm just kidding a while ago .

So it is very , very , very hot .

And the first thing I'm gonna do is just spray the bottom just for good measure .

And then are you ready ?

Mhm .

And that's the whole point .

And then not only do you get that sort of crispy surface on the top when it bakes it also like gets off to a good sizzling start before you even put it in the oven .

So you know what's gonna happen next ?

It had to happen guys , it had to happen .

Cheese everywhere .

Mm mm mm I love it .

I love it .

I love it .

OK , back to the oven .

So the oven we go all right .

So in it goes at 4 25 until the cheese is bubbly .

It's gonna be heaven .

Whoa .

Listen to that .

Oh Jesus .

I mean , there's no excuse for this .

No excuse at all .

All right .

So you don't have to Sprinkle anything on top .

But I love a little basil .

I'll never argue with basil .

Look , I will take the first serving .

Oh , Alex .

Look under there .

See , to me , this is the best of both worlds because I love baked mac and cheese that has a lot of like crusty cheese on top and sometimes there's too much cheese underneath .

But look at this sheet pan mac and cheese .

Can I take a bite first , please ?

I gave you .

Ok .

Mm .

Love it .
