Hey! It sounds like you might need more cheese sauce or milk to keep it creamy—adding extra cheese or a splash of milk can help! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I totally understand your struggle with dry mac and cheese! A common reason for this is not using enough cheese or liquid in the sauce. To keep it creamy, try adding a bit more milk or cream when you make the cheese sauce. Mixing in some extra cheese just before serving can also help keep it juicy. Don't forget to bake it for just the right amount of time to avoid drying it out in the oven. Enjoy your cheesy goodness!

Your Southern mac and cheese might turn out dry if you're using too much pasta, not enough cheese sauce, or if it's baked too long; try adding more sauce and covering it while baking!
