One thing this thread has taught me is that what I would consider mac & cheese, which involves baking the cooked macaroni with cheese and roux, is not what other people are doing.
I now see why 20 minutes for prep can work, though I’m not sure I would be much more interested in eating that.

- astura 6y agoBaked macaroni and cheese is sacrilegious, in my opinion - it's in it's most perfect form already, baking only makes it worse. People tell me that baked macaroni and cheese done right isn't bland and dry, but ever one I've ever eaten has been - even from people who think they make "the best macaroni and cheese" I guess people have different tastes. That being said, a lot of restaurants will cover the macaroni and cheese in breadcrumbs and place it under the broiler for couple minutes, that is great and nothing at all like baked macaroni and cheese, it creates a nice crust and still preserves the creamy, tasty qualities of the product.
