This looks interesting. I think I may try it, but wait and add 1 cup of the half&half after 7-8 minutes to see if that helps w/ the overflow issue. I may mix my cheeses too. . And I'll be using gluten-free pasta.

Thanks! I need to try this. I may mix up some different cheeses too. Something my son can eat! (Since he can't chew for another 1-2 months due to jaw surgery - I'm always looking for something we can ALL eat so I don't have to make two different meals.):clap::clap:

Thanks. Please let us know if anyone does avoid the boil over.

Sandra, is this the same recipe you use?

I have made the mac & cheese at least 6 times & never had a boil over. And I have made it in different Microwaves. Always comes out the same Deeeeeeeeeeeeeelishhhhhhhh!!! SO EASY!!! Never thought to pair it up with the BBQ chicken sandwiches....:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

[BethCooks4U]

One more question: I always buy the box of broth which is 4 cups. Is the can 16 ounces-ish? so 2 cups?

the can is like 14.5 oz

 

[Ginger428]

Same recipe?

yes...There is not enough liquid in it to boil over....

 

[baychef]

I am doing the Zesty Ravoli Skillet and my host is doing the Autumn Apple Cherry Crisp so this will feature the baker and the pans.

 

[flemings99]

yes...There is not enough liquid in it to boil over....

I would have to disagree b/c it well, did boil over. I think it's the half/half that causes the problem...bubbling over. I cooked mine lid on as directed. Are you cooking lid off? Stirring 1/2 way?

Do you grate the cheese or just drop the block in there?

Ok. Making it tonight.

Grate the cheese....

did everything word for word.....

 

[flemings99]

Hmm. Guess it is just a mystery then.

 

[BethCooks4U]

You do not boil the macaroni first do you? I didn't and while I didn't have a boil over the Mac doesn't look done. Well, I guess we will see once the final 10 minutes is done...

No just dump it all in the baker (but the cheese) and cook. Our pasta was done.

 

[pamperedbecky]

I just made this recipe and didn't have a boil over. However, I did wait until 1/2 way through the pasta cook time to add a 2nd cup of half and half. We haven't had any yet, but it sure looks good!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

Yum! It was delicious. No boil over and I did it exactly according to directions. I did think it needed a little salt though.

 

[pamperedbecky]

Yep I added salt and a little pepper. And also grated a big chunk of parm in there too.

Yes. Parm would be a good addition.

 

[Chef Kearns]

OOPS!! So sorry to leave you hanging...kinda. That recipe is the same recipe I have. No problem with boil over and added salt and pepper. Everyone thinks it's delish!! Very easy. I'm also doing the chicken because it doesn't quite show enough products.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Sorry... One more question. While this is very easy and very yummy, the cheese looked curdled. Is that how it's supposed to look? Is there a type of cheese that would look more smooth? Thanks

 

[flemings99]

Mine came out smooth. We used the rotary grater to grate the cheese.
