Tips
- Make sure to whisk each ingredient in before adding the next milk ingredient.
- Do not use American cheese wrapped in plastic; use freshly sliced from the deli.
- Always use freshly shredded cheese, as pre-shredded cheese will not melt correctly.
- Add a generous amount of chicken bouillon powder to the pasta water before boiling for better taste.
- You have to use Rotini pasta, or it's not Boston Market mac and cheese.
