What am I doing wrong? My Southern mac and cheese isn’t coming out smooth.

[Popsickle]

I’m having a tough time achieving a smooth texture in my mac and cheese; it tends to come out grainy. Could use some pointers on techniques or ingredients that might help. Any suggestions?

For smoother mac and cheese, try using freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded, as the latter often contains anti-caking agents that can cause graininess. Also, make sure to melt the cheese on low heat and whisk continuously for a creamy texture. Enjoy!

Hey there! For that perfectly smooth mac and cheese, try these tips:

1. Roux it up: Make a roux with butter and flour before adding milk. It keeps the sauce from getting lumpy.
2. Slow pour: Add milk gradually while stirring constantly.
3. Cheese matters: Use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded. It melts better!

Good luck!
