Tips
- Do not make a roux because it can make the mac and cheese too thick and harder to reheat.
- When adding shredded cheese, cut the heat to prevent the cheese from curdling or becoming lumpy.
- Always use freshly shredded cheese to prevent the cheese from curdling or becoming lumpy.
- To get a crispy top, broil the mac and cheese after baking to melt the cheese on top.
