How to make Baked Macaroni the right way

hi everyone I'm back and today I'm gonna show you all how to make baked macaroni and cheese yes we're making baked macaroni and cheese today here's what you will need you will need a 32 ounce of Velveeta and that comes in the block form you will need two 16-ounce bags of cheese I have the Colby Jack and Monterey Jack and I have the sharp cheddar you will need one can of cream of chicken or you will need one can of cream of mushroom either one would be just fine you will need milk elbow macaroni and I usually use about a box and a half or a box in just a little bit more than a half you will need two eggs and onion onion Tina yes guys you need onion one small onion then we're not even going to use the whole onion you will need paprika garlic powder black pepper and salt over here I have the baking dish that I'm going to use I like to use these kind of aluminum takeaway pans because they're they're perfect they're perfect when you want to just bake something in the oven cover it with aluminum foil and take it to go alright so what you're going to need we're going to need a pan just like this so that we can melt our cheese and you're gonna need a pan of course I have my wok here that you all love with salted water because once this water comes up to a boil I'm gonna start boiling my macaroni let's get started on cutting our onion I need to show you how to cut this onion we want to make sure that when we cut this onion it's very very very finely chopped okay you don't want to bite down into onion all right and you want this onion to be cut so small that what happens is that the onion will release its flavor and you won't have to bite down into it because it'll be so small little distant great during the cooking process and we're gonna do just let's take half of this onion that's all we need is half of the onion all right and I'm gonna cut this let's make sure we get a good picture down on this onion I'm gonna cut it just like so and I'll show you how small we're gonna cut this bad boy get back in there onion all right so this is how my grandma used to make her baked macaroni I will never ever forget she had the best big macaroni and so I used that recipe and it turns out perfect every time guys you hear me now when I'm making this macaroni whichever one I have or whichever one I pick up first I'll use the cream of mushroom or the cream of chicken and it turns out the same each time no matter which one you like now if you're a person this is all Gina I don't like cream of mushroom or cream of chicken well then your next resource would be you could use a can of cream of celery absolutely you could okay just make sure you get that cream soup in there all right so I'm going to continue to chop this very very very finely today a Saturday evening and I'm gonna have a whole roasted chicken for dinner baked macaroni and cheese and you're gonna have corn on the cob that'll be our dinner for tonight I'm so excited who doesn't love whole roasted chicken and baked macaroni now I'm going to continue to keep chopping this up very finely and I'll be right back guys okay everyone my onion is finely chopping I just wanted to do this to show you just how small it is all right so I'm gonna put this onion right into a little Bowl that I have here and set it aside until we're ready for it okay now this recipe is so simple I know I say this a lot so simple so much fun and yet it tastes so good guys so oh you'll see you'll see when you make it and your family is gonna be like oh my gosh where did you get that recipe from and you're gonna be like Gena Yong jun-hyung show me how to make it absolutely you will okay so the first thing that we're gonna do my water is boiling over here let's see if I can get a picture of that water there we go I'm gonna go ahead and pour all right elbow macaroni in there's one box and we're gonna pour a half of box it's a little over a half okay then I'll use this for something else alright I think I'd like to put a little bit of more salt in the water anytime you're making pasta or potatoes you always want to salt your water absolutely you do okay as you want every layer of your dish to be well seasoned alright we're gonna continue cooking this up on a medium-high heat until it's done normally all it takes is eleven minutes and your noodles will be just perfect I'm a cooking a little under eleven minutes because these noodles will cook more when we cook them in the oven okay so I'm gonna shorten the time of the cooking process all right so then what we need to do let's come over here and we're gonna open up our Velveeta block open up this valve eat a block and we're gonna use the whole thing the whole thing Gina yes absolutely we are and here's what it looks like all right let me get my kitchen shears so that I can cut that and I'm gonna turn this first pan on to a low heat well let's start out on a medium heat but then we'll turn it to low okay you open this up just like this oh yeah when I make this macaroni people say oh my goodness Gina it's so good and I say this is how my grandma made it oh yeah just like this alright so you just take the block and come over here follow me over here to her pants alright you want to get a rubber spatula and and let's grab the milk and we're gonna put some milk in how much milk just put you some milk in guys because what we're looking for we may put milk in here several times what we're going to look for is a cheese whiz consistency where your cheese is very melty and nice and thick alright so that's what we're looking for this is on low it will take some time to get started going okay so meanwhile over here our noodles are cooking and when our noodles are done our cheese sauce should be just about done also and I'm gonna show you all how to prepare my grandmom's baked macaroni and cheese that you all will die for you hear me you all have been waiting for a baked macaroni and cheese recipe from from me well here you go I have an old recipe a old video for the baked macaroni but the video didn't turn out I had two different videos the second video was where the macaroni was coming out of the oven it was when I first started learning how to videotape my recipes but this one here this is gonna be a better video I won't have to be to split videos for you okay so let's continue to cook these continue to keep an eye on this cheese because this cheese will cook so fast you want to keep an eye on it all right you don't want for this cheese to burning you don't want the milk to score at the bottom or scorch at the bottom all right I'll be right back okay everyone let's take a peek in at our beautiful cheese sauce now some of you might say Gina how do I know I want I need to know how much milk just put you some milk in because what I'm gonna make a promise to you all is no matter how much milk you put in it's still gonna make a cheese sauce okay and you see me I just eyeballed it and poured it in there okay this cheese is so thick oh it's gonna make a cheese sauce for you okay just pour some in and if your cheese sauce doesn't get to like this texture but I'll show you when it's all melted if it doesn't get that way pour you some more milk in don't be afraid okay it'll work out guys I promise you absolutely it will it's so easy this recipe is so easy and once you do it once you'll never forget how to make this you hear me I used to watch my grandmom make that baked macaroni and I did the same thing I used to think like onion grandma you know it mushroom or chicken soup you know cream of mushroom or cream of chicken yes absolutely guys just try it never knock something until you try it okay let's take a peek in at our noodles our noodles were almost done okay like I said we don't want to cook them too much because these are going to continue to cook in that oven when our macaroni bakes all right so I'm just gonna continue to stir my cheese sauce I'll be taking the noodles out when I have the video on pause because they're done I'll be right back everyone okay everybody our cheese sauce is done there's a few chunks in there that will continue to melt even after you turn this off okay because this is so hot those little chunk us in there like let's see if I can pull it up for you like that Oh it'll melt no problem and what I did is I did put a little bit more milk in okay this is a consistency that you're looking for you see that that's cheese with consistency and this right here whoa this is like liquid gold you hear me it sure is if you want some good cheesy flavorful baked macaroni use that whole 32 ounce of that Velveeta cheese guys all right I'm gonna take this off of the stove even though I've turned it off because we don't want it to burn be right back okay everyone I've just drained and what I like to do I like to go in with some cold water and just my hands are impeccably clean and you just want to disperse some of the cold water onto your noodles how come Gina the reason why is because we're gonna put egg in here and I don't want to scramble my eggs okay so I'm just gonna cool these down otherwise whoo that's hot otherwise they're gonna continue to cook you know in its steam because they're steaming hot they will continue to cook but by running cold water on them they'll cool down and you'll be able to mix your egg in all right be right back okay everybody Gina Young is back let's go ahead and start seasoning up our noodles our noodles are nice and cool where we can touch them and it's cool enough where the egg can go in all right so I'd like to put let me open this up to the big hole we're gonna put a nice amount of black pepper in there oh you gotta have that black pepper in there guys we want this to be well-seasoned okay and that's a lot of noodles there all right got your black pepper in you've gotta have some garlic powder garlic powder is gonna let off so much flavor in here garlic powder awesome don't put fresh garlic in here guys please do not and we're gonna put some salt not too much salt okay just enough to seize them because our cheese's have salt in it so that's absolutely enough right there and we're going to go in with our one can of cream of chicken if you don't have cream of chicken feel free to use cream of celery or cream of mushroom alright let's get that in there get all that goodness out we need all of that okay I hope you all are having a great weekend I hope you all seen the Chinese food mukbang from yesterday I hope you enjoyed it that was a lot of fun and it was so tasty and I hope you all seen my how to make a juicy turkey burger that video was so much fun and it was so tasty guys that turkey burger was amazing you hear me if you all follow that recipe you will be so happy with ground turkey absolutely you will alright so we had salt we had pepper we had garlic powder one can of cream of chicken now we're gonna put in a little bit of I didn't tell you this ingredient in the beginning we're gonna put a little bit of flour in it flour Gina yes absolutely just a little bit and I'll show you how much look at this just enough just let's see just about that much okay that's not a lot we literally just sprinkled it right on top okay what will it do it will help to bind your macaroni up a little bit alright and then we have two beautiful large eggs put that on there just like so okay now you can use utensils to mix this I'm gonna wash my hands up and I'd like to use my hands because sometimes when you're cooking certain things guys you gotta get down in there with your hands if you know what I'm saying like you have to in order to mix everything up well we're gonna go ahead and put all right look how thinly chopped see like I said oh they're so little it's gonna disintegrate all right get all that goodness down in here let me wash my hands I'll do that right now before we start washing my hands right now before we start to pour our cheese that put our shredded cheese in now during this process you might see me put some milk in if I feel like it needs to be thinned out a little I will do just that okay and if I don't feel like it needs any more because remember we put milk in our cheese sauce if I don't feel like it needs it then we won't use it okay so now that everything's nice and seasoned up I'm gonna go in with my hands mix everything up just like so get those eggs mixed up guys don't be afraid to get in here with your hands you know just make sure you wash your hands and you'll be fine like I could eat this just like this but that cream of chicken and those onions in there whoo I mean you know you have to build flavors and that's what we've done we have done today we're building flavors at garlic powder net salt and black pepper the eggs and cream of chicken oh absolutely oh yeah get in there all right beautiful nice well incorporated now what you need to do I'm gonna wash my hands again you need to turn your oven 350 degrees and make sure you have aluminum foil for the top of your pan because we're gonna need to cover this during the cooking process in the last half an hour or the last 15 25 minutes of cooking process we'll take that aluminum foil off all depending on what it looks like that's why I said 30 to 20 25 50 all depending on what it looks like we will decide when to take our aluminum foil off so that this can get nice and brown okay here's what we're gonna do let's go ahead and put our beautiful member our beautiful sauce that we made cheese sauce pour all that in there guys don't be afraid put it all in there this right here this is good homestyle Southern macaroni and cheese this is how my grandma made it guys and you are we I just can't wait til you all taste it you were gonna be like oh my goodness Gina why have you done to me alright let's see I'm trying to focus cuz this pan is so heavy on my hand okay hold on alright now I'm going to mix this and I'm gonna use my rubber spatula mix it up well take your time okay look at all this beautiful mess oh absolutely this is what I'm talking about oh and what I'm one I do want to do is put a little bit more garlic powder in there just a little bit a little bit more black pepper and I will put a little bit of milk watch how much milk guys that's about it nothing too much nothing too much at all okay it'll still keep that cheese whiz consistency or that cheese sauce consistency mmm I love this sound listen to the sound why do I love that sound I know I get crazy I hear guys but I really do like that sound okay I'm going in with my coffee jack let's open this up and we're gonna put almost the whole bag in there's some see how I have some you'll see I have this you're gonna do something with that towards the end of the cooking process okay I'm gonna open up the sharp chatter guys I love sharp cheddar cheese is one of my favorite cheese's put some in there how much Gina oh I got the same amount they save me a little we're gonna save about that much all right and mix it get it well incorporated guys we are really doing something in Gina's kitchen today you hear me oh yeah this is a recipe you won't forget okay get in there now this is one recipe I mean this is one ingredient the grandmom didn't use grandmum I don't believe my grandmom put paprika in hers okay so I'm gonna put some paprika in what it does it gives a little tiny bit of flavor but more than anything it gives a deeper color okay you know it's kind of traditional to put paprika on you know a lot of people put it on top of potato salad and baked macaroni absolutely okay all right this is almost you want to make sure it's well incorporated cuz we don't want a lot of cheese over here and not enough over there so take your time to mix this absolutely Louie and we got that oven roasted chicken that I'm having tonight oh look at this yes yes yes yes I'm very happy with this okay now I'm gonna go in with another one of my touches you all didn't know me you know oh you know I love parsley I'm putting some fresh parsley in there everybody is not gonna give a flavor it's just gonna give a beautiful color that I love to see I love to eat with my eyes I love to see beautiful food absolutely I do and we cooked our noodles after the water started to boil we cooked our noodles for about nine minutes okay nine to ten minutes and then we rinsed it off in cold water all right beautiful looks like looks perfect I want to put a little bit more water because I know that this is going to cook a little bit more milk because I know that this is gonna cook for an hour okay that's all the milk we're gonna use it's just a splash okay look at this oh yeah now a lot of you people some people will put butter in their macaroni and cheese please don't put any butter in your macaroni and cheese how come Gina you don't want to put butter in your macaroni and cheese because our cheese has so much butter in it we don't need any more butter I hate to eat a baked macaroni and cheese and it's greasy oh that just does me in guys I just want to walk out the front door don't use any better all right so then I'm gonna smooth it out everything's nice beautiful and we're going to put aluminum foil on this that extra cheese in the bags what we're gonna do with it is that last like I said between a half an hour 25 minutes or or 15 minutes we're gonna put this extra cheese on the top take our aluminum foil off we're gonna let that cheese get nice and bubbly and brown and beautiful but for now we're all set and done we're going in put some beautiful paprika on there and put our aluminum foil on get this bad boy in the oven on 350 degrees when it's done I'll let you know exactly how long it cooked and you'll see me take it out the oven take the aluminum foil off put the extra cheese on now as we're making baked macaroni in Gina's kitchen today be right back aluminum on here make sure you put it on nice and tight and make sure that your foil is not touching the macaroni all right this is going in the oven right now make sure it's nice nice nice and tight because if your foil is touching your macaroni it's gonna turn I look a mess because you'll pull up all your macaroni when you take that foil off be right back okay everybody it has been one hour exactly I just pulled up these aluminum foil this here's what it looks like look at that now what I always like to do I like to take a spoon and kind of dig down in there just like this you're not gonna mess it up so it's okay look down in there and see if that's the consistency you're looking for this is exactly what I'm looking for guys oh my gosh it looks so good I'm sorry but I can't I cannot help myself I want to taste this you all can taste it taste that right there guys oh my goodness look at that cheese isn't it beautiful okay so much flavor guys oh my gosh I promise you you guys better follow this recipe it's so good we'll take another bite mmm yes that's exactly what I'm looking for now I'm gonna take a clean Fork just gonna smear that just like that nobody'll never know because when you go to put your macaroni away later you'll need that that same aluminum foil so here's what we're gonna do it's at the hour for this aluminum foils off put you some cheese on there let's get a nice beautiful brown bubbly cheese on top I like to crack down into that nice golden-brown cheese on the top guys oh my goodness I didn't come to play one of the day no no no games in this kitchen today guys all right let's get the rest of that and so it might take because oven temperatures may vary um it might take 8 minutes for this cheese to get nice and golden brown or it could take 10 to 15 minutes okay whatever it takes to get your cheese nice and golden-brown you do just that okay and knowing me you know I'm gonna put a little bit of parsley because it's beautiful right and then I'm gonna put some paprika and we have baked
