In reply to Aaron. Hi Aaron! Yes, just to confirm, a gritty consistency is the result of adding the cheese to a base that's too hot, causing the dairy to separate and have a gritty consistency instead of smooth and creamy. Probably one of the most common mistakes when making a cheese sauce, you got this!

Ok i made this. I think i did something wrong, maybe you have a tip. The flavor was there however, it didn’t come out creamy. I would say that it is almost gritty. (Nevermind, i re-read the tips, it was too hot.)

I am going to try it again….

This was spectacular. The best mac and cheese I’ve ever made. The caramelized onions and cheese combinations are so good. Thank you so much.

In reply to Jeanri Badenhorst. 40-50 minutes is how long it takes to sufficiently caramelize the onions. They become sweet and golden brown, it's a nice contrast in flavor to the savory bacon and the cheese :)

Is it 40/50min for the onions or 4/5min?

In reply to Devv. I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much Devv! I know what you mean about the onions, sounds a little funky but caramelizing them really does add so much to the recipe. Thanks so much for the great review and comments!

My goodness. Thank you. My eyes turned a little to the side seeing the onions buuut my goodness what a beautiful flavor they add to this Mac. I added turkey bacon, a little of Tab Browns’s sunshine seasoning and used almond milk instead of regular but I still used heavy cream(I like to make whipped cream so it’s always on hand) and my gosh I am so satisfied. Lies, beyond satisfied. Thank you for sharing. The caramelized onions and light crunch of bacon just add something extra I didn’t know I needed to Mac n cheese.
