Soooooo ......
... make a bechamel cheese sauce with water, instead of learning how to cook the recipe. Got it.
Heck. Based on this winning “discovery” why not just make a regular bechamel with milk, as in homemade mac and cheese?
I mean, any pasta with cheese sauce is mac and cheese, yeah?
Back in the 60’s when I was a kid, the school lunches were made from scratch by old ladies in a huge kitchen.
They had a mac and cheese recipe that was fantastically delicious!
I have never had any mac and cheese since then that compares with it!.....................
