The Only Mac & Cheese Recipe You’ll Ever Need

It’s time to graduate from the box and learn how to make this easy and delicious cheese sauce. Pour over cooked pasta of your choice or use as a dip for chips, chicken, whatever. Because cheese is the answer for everything.

Ingredients:

½ pound of butter

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 cup whole milk

1 chicken bouillon

2 tablespoons cajun seasoning

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Directions:

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat

Lower heat to low and slowly add in flour, stirring with whisk being careful not to burn flour, and making sure no clumps

Allow the flour to cook as you continue to stir for 1 minute

Continue stirring as you slowly stream in milk until flour/butter mix is dissolved into the milk

Add bouillon, cajun, and cayenne seasoning and increase heat to medium-high allowing milk to come to a simmer

Simmer for 3 minutes and stir in cheese in small batches until completely melted

Feeling extra? Pour over cooked pasta, top with extra cheddar and bacon, and bake in a 400-degree oven until the top is golden brown.

Baked Crispy Chicken Poppers

The Superbowl is nothing without wings, but deep frying in your home kitchen leaves you with better chances of ending up in the ER than watching your team win. Lighten it up this year with an easy baked crispy chicken. All the flavor of your favorite wings, without the fear of getting fried.

What you need:

Mixing bowl

3 medium-size bowls

Baking sheet

Wire rack, optional but definitely helps achieve crispy deliciousness

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2” cubes

2 whole eggs

2 cups flour, split into two

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon oregano powder

1 tablespoon salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Cut your chicken into bite-size pieces, about 2 inches, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

In a mixing bowl mix dry ingredients - 1 cup of flour (reserve the other cup to the side), breadcrumb, cornstarch, and remaining spices and salt

Crack eggs and whisk together in a small bowl

Have a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray, or a wired rack sprayed with cooking spray waiting for your chicken.

Set up your assembly line for dredging:

Bowl 1: With the cubed chicken, use the remaining cup of flour to lightly coat the chicken, patting off any excess flour

Bowl 2: Dip the floured chicken into the egg wash and allow excess to drip off

Bowl 3: Dredge the chicken in the Seasoned Panko Mix until fully coated

Place on prepared baking sheet

Continue in small batches until all the chicken is complete

Make sure to space out chicken on the baking sheet to allow an even cook

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until crust is golden and crispy and inside chicken reaches 160 degrees.

Remove from oven, allow to cool, and serve!
