Ninja Foodi-Mac and Cheese

LF Katie and I , we have a love for processed cheese , so we're ready for this .

Oh , well , you know , Kevin , we are just so happy that you watched and made that video .

It's so much fun .

I wanna still upon you a recipe that's gonna be on food network dot com .

We're gonna call it Kevin's grandma's mac .

Kevin's Grandma's Mac .

Is that cool ?

I'm gonna call her .

She's gonna be ecstatic about this .

Absolutely .

Making it over .

I'll be on fire right now .

You told me that your grandma uses just processed cheese and cheddar cheese and that's it .

Yeah .

Well , she finishes with some shredded cheese .

But if you don't , that's what we're gonna do .

You're gonna shred , we're gonna put you to work because , you know , shred the cheese , you are in the kitchen and I'm gonna show you how to walk the walk .

Yeah .

Yeah .

Thank you .

So we're gonna make a roux really quick to thicken up the sauce .

It's just a a I'm OK with that .

So it's just one part butter , one part flour , you cook it until it smells like popcorn .

If you ask me and the flour is all cooked out a light , light blonde amber color is what we're going for here .

And then I'm just going to add in some milk slowly with a whisk .

This helps us not be so lumpy .

And if you do a lumpy mac and cheese it slow , you can really incorporate everything in .

It really is smart to start with room temperature milk as well .

Not cold .

So when you were cooking with your grandma , were you cooking or were you watching , uh I was mostly smelling , um , this is actually the most she's ever , would ever let me do the prep , right ?

Grandma's cooking .

No , I wouldn't , I wouldn't be standing OK .

All right .

So I've incorporated the milk in there .

We've got eight ounces of processed cheese .

You just cube it down , get that in there .

Uh Now you said no spice but is pepper .

Cool regular pepper .

Nothing fancy , nothing fancy .

We're doing grandma's mac and cheese .

We're doing family tree mac and cheese .

We go some salt .

Now you're talking , don't forget there's gonna be definitely salt in your processed cheese .

So don't go too heavy and then we're just gonna mix this , turn this up and slowly the cheese will start melting .

Smell right there .

Does it smell like ?

Oh , that's it .

Oh , see , this is what cooking truly is .

It's just a bun like we , we grew up together , Sonny , you know .

All right .

So look , you got enough cheese there .

Uh butter the bottom and the side of your pan .

You said grandma makes it in aluminum pan .

So we're gonna do it in aluminum pan the way make it legit .

I cook .

Absolutely not at all .

I can dish it out .

I can't take it .

Ok .

That's been , that's been buttered by professional .

She's professionally uh graded grandma .

Look at your grandson helping out .

All right .

So we've got the elbow pasta which you know , I'm sure that's what grandma is using .

Right elbow , you get it in there , boil it all because it's gonna cook again .

Just pay attention to the box .

You've got your sides .

Buttered .

Did a really good job .

Thank you Sonny and then we've got the sauce .

Remember it's just the of the butter and the flour and then adding in some milk cheese just like that .

I like a stove , stove top .

This is where you stop if you just want a stovetop .

But everyone knows you're supposed to bake Thanksgiving Mac , crispy corners , crispy corners .

I like to give it a little .

So it gets all into the nooks and crannies and then look at your cheese .

Perfect .

Kevin help me out .

I have a couple notes on his cheese grating ability .

You're welcome .

Start calling you Saturday .

Saturday is good .

Merch on the way .

All right .

So the oven is set at 350 degrees .

It's only gonna take about 25 to 30 minutes to get this done .

Before you go , we have one more mac and cheese .

We're gonna need you to taste because you can't knock it if you don't try it .

All right .

I'm nervous now , please .

It's return .

Oh yeah .

You want me to eat it and the ultimate Thanksgiving mac and cheese .

There's cornbread stuff I got .

Make sure you get a piece of me .

Oh , look at that .

That one's , that one's been desecrated .

Look at it .
