Teenies Viral Mac and Cheese
Recipe by Lola Jay, Yum!
A decadent, ultra‑cheesy baked mac and cheese inspired by Teenie's viral recipe. Cavatappi pasta traps a rich sauce made with sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Colby‑Jack, plus evaporated milk, heavy cream, and a touch of Dijon. Layered and baked until golden, then broiled for a perfect crust. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any comfort‑food craving.

Critical Success Points
- • Cook pasta 2 minutes short of al dente.
- • Cook the roux for the full 4 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- • Add cheese gradually over low heat to avoid a grainy sauce.
Safety Warnings
- • Boiling water can cause severe burns – handle with care.
- • The sauce and baked dish will be extremely hot; use oven mitts.
- • Do not leave the broiler unattended; cheese can burn quickly.
