Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 3:22:43 GMT Post by sunnyd on Oct 13, 2014 3:22:43 GMTI want to make THIS recipe but I'm very skeptical about the eggs. I've made homemade mac & cheese many times but have never used eggs. Yes or no to the eggs? TIA! | |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 3:27:42 GMT Post by SweetieBugs on Oct 13, 2014 3:27:42 GMTYes, I have used a recipe that called for eggs in the mac & cheese. It was very delicious. It provides a thickener and hold the noodles together instead of the noddles just coming out as individual pieces (kind of like a mortar). I'm not sure I'm explaining this well, but that recipe should be fine. | |

They give the dish a certain "cohesiveness" that is more casserole like than I prefer. I suggest making it once "per the recipe" then leaving the eggs out the second time if you don't like the texture.. they aren't going to give the dish a noticable flavor, just a change in textures, how the pasta and sauce will hold together on the plate. |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 4:14:38 GMT Post by JustKim on Oct 13, 2014 4:14:38 GMTI have done both. I prefer no egg as I really did not find much difference. I do put triple the amount of cheese it calls for so maybe that is why I did not find a difference. I put a block of pepper jack in. It gives it a nice flavor. | |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 9:14:00 GMT Post by rumplesnat on Oct 13, 2014 9:14:00 GMTThat looks amazing! Can mac and cheese be frozen? Trying to stock the freezer with meals before baby comes and this would be awesome. I'm assuming it can, since you can buy frozen... | |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 10:38:51 GMT Post by anxiousmom on Oct 13, 2014 10:38:51 GMTI have made the Pioneer Woman's mac and cheese that is linked above. It has one egg that is tempered into the roux/cheese sauce and it is REALLY good and creamy. If I am in a hurry and want to have mac/cheese that I don't have to bake, hers is the one I use. For me, if I bake her recipe, it always turns out a little dry. But for the stove top? Holy creaminess batman, it is amazing. | |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 10:50:43 GMTanonrefugee, iluvpink, and 1 more like this Post by Spongemom Scrappants on Oct 13, 2014 10:50:43 GMTAround here it's often called "macaroni pie" and almost everyone's recipe calls for eggs. The eggs serve to hold it together. Without something like that, the dish becomes more of a pasta with sauce. That would get you a lot of, "Bless her heart... she can't even make macaroni pie." | |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 13:26:39 GMT Post by lbp on Oct 13, 2014 13:26:39 GMTAlways! If you are making it in the oven just mix in with all the ingredients before it goes in. If I'm making stovetop I will put some of the hot noodles into the beaten eggs to temper them before I put them in the pan with the noodles. I don't like mac and cheese without the eggs. Tastes too much like the powdered blue box stuff. | |

On week nights I usually just cook the Kraft box kind but for Sunday dinners I make it from scratch. | |
Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 14:15:37 GMT Post by beanbuddymom on Oct 13, 2014 14:15:37 GMTNo I have never and never heard of it, either! It sounds like it would be good but I have family members that have egg intolerance so I would not be able to make it for a family gathering or really at home since the ones that eat it are the ones that have it. But for those that don't have egg issues sounds like it would be good. | |

I've used eggs in some and not in others (not in my current favorite). I think that the eggs give it more of a custard-like texture. Give it a try, I bet it'll be good! | |

Do you put EGGS in your homemade macaroni & cheese?Oct 13, 2014 16:27:11 GMT Post by iluvpink on Oct 13, 2014 16:27:11 GMTNo, but I don't like baked mac and cheese, only stove top. I like it super creamy and saucy. Baked is usually too dry and ick. When I was a child my mom always made a stove top version (not from the box) and we loved it. She tried baking it one time and it didn't go over well with two kids who were really looking forward to mac and cheese lol. | |
