Mac & Cheese (From Scratch)

From the first day we opened up our café in Pike Place Market, we started slinging mac and cheese. Now, nearly 20 years later, we consider ourselves professionals on how to make the perfect mac.

Of course for us, it’s all about the cheese. Now, you may be tempted to make these recipes with another cheese, but Beecher’s Flagship is really what delivers the flavor, so be sure to stock up before you get started.

We’re an open book, so here we’ve shared how to make our well-known and loved “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese from scratch. Plus, if you’re looking to kick up the flavor, we’ve added a collection of embellished macs that will really impress everyone around your table. So dig in! And if you have any questions – or new ideas to share – be sure to drop a comment.

How To Select: It all comes down to two questions – What are you craving? How much time do you have? These recipes aren’t complicated, but the amount of time needed to make a recipe from scratch can vary, so be sure to scan the prep times and ingredients before you get started! Short on time? No worries! We have you covered. Just pick up a “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese from your local grocery store and hop over to our recipes that start with that.

What To Prepare: Whether it’s for a night in, a family dinner, or a date night, you never know when one of these recipes will come in handy! Each recipe will have different preparation instructions, but as a whole – one thing will always remain the same. You will always need: 1. Flagship cheese 2. Just Jack or Dutch Hollow Dulcet cheese Luckily – we know a few places to stock up. Use our store locator on our "Where To Buy" page to find the goods near you, or place an order with us online!
