Blake Lively's Mac and Cheese Hack
Another mac and cheese hack has gone viral on places like TikTok thanks to actress Blake Lively. It uses 4 different cheeses to create an elevated macaroni and cheese recipe.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box macaroni and cheese
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 2.5 ounces cream cheese (approximately ⅓ block)
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup gouda cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni according to the package directions until the pasta is tender. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Add the included cheese powder, milk, cream cheese, and the grated cheeses. Stir until the cheeses are melted. Serve.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives like anti-caking agents to prevent clumping. These additives can sometimes affect the melting properties of the cheese and may cause it to melt less smoothly compared to freshly shredded cheese.
