Do you put evaporated milk in baked mac and cheese?Evaporated milk has more protein than regular milk, but less fat than heavy cream, which gives this easy baked macaroni and cheese a thick, creamy filling without too much greasiness. Evaporated milk is also not refrigerated in most places, so you can get it in the baking aisle or on Amazon!
What is the best milk for mac and cheese?The Rest of The Ingredients
The remaining ingredients are simple: butter and flour (which makes the sauce thicken), milk, spices, salt, and pepper. For the milk, I prefer whole milk since it makes a creamier sauce, but I've used reduced fat milk plenty of times without complaint.
Can you substitute evaporated milk for whole milk in mac and cheese?Evaporated milk is the perfect Kraft Mac and Cheese milk substitute. After all, it's just regular milk with 60% of the water content removed. To reconstitute evaporated milk, you just need to combine equal amounts of milk and water.
