00:00Let me give you all of my tips
00:02for making the best mac and cheese.
00:04Onions add such a good depth of flavor and some sweetness.
00:08Fresh garlic and smoked paprika.
00:11Ground dry mustard.
00:13And you want your spices to cook with your fat
00:17before you add flour and your milk to your roux.
00:20Nice and thick.
00:22The one ingredient that I think is a non-negotiable,
00:25mayonnaise.
00:26It adds that tang.
00:27My favorite pasta shape.
00:30Corkscrews have this like ridge.
00:32It helps the cheese sauce cling.
00:34Top it with some more shredded cheese.
00:37Panko, melted butter, because this is gonna bake.
00:40It's creamy, slightly tangy.
00:42It can't be beat.
