Baked mac and cheese without a roux

Q: Does mac and cheese need a roux?

You dont have to make a roux for mac and cheese. Many mac and cheese recipes call for a combination of butter and flour, known as a roux, to thicken the cheese sauce. While this maneuver works particularly well for baked mac and cheese, it just isnt always required.

Q: Why is my homemade mac and cheese not creamy?

Dont add all your noodles at once; see how much sauce you have and add more noodles as needed OR Make more sauce than you think youll need for a super creamy final product. Avoid over baking. Bake only for the time recommended, or when the center is bubbling and you see some golden edges.
