DON'T BUY Boxed Mac & Cheese Anymore! CREAMY in 20 Min. with Old Diner Tricks

Mac and cheese smooth for ten seconds, then grainy and oily? Here's how a diner cook keeps it creamy without the box. I've run a diner in New Jersey for forty years, and a side of mac and cheese is the first plate back at the window when a cook stops paying attention. In this video I walk you through seven old diner fixes, from pulling the macaroni early and saving a cup of the cloudy pasta water, to grating your own cheddar and taking the pot off the burner before the cheese goes in. The last fix comes from a line on my father's old recipe card that I skipped for ten years. It's the reason my sauce still looks creamy ten minutes after it hits the table. #macandcheese #dinerfood #comfortfood #cookingtips #frankbehindthegriddle
