    About Bob Evans Mac And Cheese

    Make this Bob Evans Copycat Mac and Cheese at home in under 20 minutes using a few simple ingredients.

    For those who don’t know what Bob Evans is, it is an American chain of restaurants owned by based in New Albany, Ohio. They have mac and cheese on their menu that is super creamy, mild, delicious, and super addictive.

    They also sell their products in tubs in the refrigerator section of many grocery stores.

    After many trials at home, I came up with a recipe that is very close to Bob Evans Mac and Cheese. It is super easy to make and comes together in no time using very few simple ingredients. It is much more economical to make at home too.

    Serve it with meatloaf, grilled chicken, fish, ribs, or coleslaw on the side.

    This recipe is vegetarian and can be easily halved, doubled, or tripled.

    Ingredients

    Macaroni – You will need elbow macaroni to make this pasta dish.

    Cheese – To get the authentic taste, use a mix of sharp cheddar cheese and Velveeta.

    Milk – Adding whole milk will make it creamier.

    Seasonings – Flavour it with paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

    How To Make Bob Evans Mac And Cheese

    Cook The Macaroni

    Heat 4 cups of water in a pot over high heat.

    Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of elbow macaroni to the pot and stir gently.

    Cook until the paste is just cooked (Al Dente).

    Do not overcook otherwise the macaroni will get mushy.

    Make The Sauce

    While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce.

    Add 1.8 oz (50 g) of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 7 oz (200 g) of shredded Velveeta, and ½ cup of whole milk to a nonstick pan.

    Cheddar cheese, velveeta and milk added to a pan.

    Cook on low heat until the cheeses are evenly melted, stirring frequently.

    Smooth sauce made.

    Add ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and stir well.

    Paprika, mustard sauce, salt and black pepper added to the pan.

    Drain the pasta and stir it into the sauce.

    Tip – Add some milk if the pasta looks thick.

    Check for salt and pepper and add more if needed.

    Serve.

    Cooked pasta added to the pan.
    Ready BobEvans copycat mac and cheese.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Instead of using pre-grated cheddar cheese, buy fresh cheese and grate it yourself. It will taste much better.

    You can add veggies or the protein of your choice to this recipe.

    To make the pasta spicier, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve it on its own or with some salad, garlic bread, or soup.

    Make sure to heat it well just before serving.

    Storage Suggestions

    This pasta tastes the best when served right out of the pan.

    Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave until nice and hot, before serving.
