Tini’s Viral TikTok Mac and Cheese is a creamy, cheesy dish that has gained massive popularity for its rich flavor and smooth texture. It combines a homemade cheese sauce with tender pasta, creating the ultimate comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni (or preferred pasta)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes without browning.
  4. Gradually add milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  5. Cook the mixture until thickened and gently bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in cream cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Add shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, stirring until melted.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; adjust to taste.
  9. Combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce, ensuring even coating.
  10. Optionally, transfer to a baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Notes

Use whole milk for creamier sauce.

Adjust cheese types for different flavors.

For a baked finish, add breadcrumbs on top before baking.
