Does anyone have a good recipe for baked mac and cheese they’d be willing to share? I really love kenji’s stove top recipe, so maybe a recipe that incorporates evaporated milk?
I've been using this recipe, I got from GenMay, for the last 15+ years. I think the user who originally posted it was was CeeJayMon. Everyone always loves it.
Four Cheese Baked Macaroni
A total of 7 tablespoons of butter (4, 2, and 1)
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups half and half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 pound elbow macaroni
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Splash of hot sauce
A total of 8 1/2 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 2 cups)
4 ounces grated cheddar cheese
4 ounces grated fontina cheese
4 ounces grated gruyere cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs sv1/2 teaspoon Tony Chachere's or Creole Seasoning
In a heavy medium saucepan melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and whisk in the half and half little by little. (DO NOT just dump it in) Cook until thickened, stirring frequently, which will take about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with the salt, pepper, hot sauce and 4 ounces of the grated parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Cover and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Boil water in a big pot. Add salt to taste and stir in the macaroni. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for about 5 minutes. The macaroni should be slightly undercooked. Drain in a colander and return the macaroni to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, toss in the garlic, and stir it up. Add the thick white sauce you made a minute ago (Bechamel) and stir until it's well combined. Set aside.
Using the remaining tablespoon of butter, grease a 3-quart baking dish or casserole dish and set aside.
In a large bowl combine 4 ounces of the remaining parmesan cheese, cheddar, fontina and gruyere cheeses. Toss to combine. You should still have some parmesan left over.
Place one-third of the macaroni in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the mixed cheeses. Top with another third of the macaroni and another third of the cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining macaroni and cheese mixture. In a small bowl (or on a paper plate) combine the bread crumbs, the remaining 1/2 ounce of grated parmesan, and the Tony's and toss to combine. Sprinkle this over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the macaroni and cheese is bubbly and hot and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it sit a few minutes before serving.
Tasty, tasty stuff. Also, it keeps pretty well and isn't bad at all as microwaved leftovers. I think it's pretty damn perfect like it is, but feel free to give me your recommendations, or your recipes for mac & cheese.

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances.

I also get a weird response from sh.it just.works and infosec.pub. If you search for a valid community it will return a blank page but no result. If you search for an invalid community it returns "Empty" result.
Note: I am not asking my question here, so please do not answer it. I am merely asking for a good lemmy/kbin community in which I can ask it and receive respectful responses. The answers to this question should be pointing me to a community where I can ask the question.
@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...
They will always advocate for blocking over banning because they can easily make new accounts to spread their hateful message. To block a user you must first read their message; their mission is accomplished.
Should the community have to continually deal with this baggage so that hateful people can intentionally misinterpret what "free speech" means?
Using Beehaw's /c/gaming community as an example: Can someone please explain why I am still able to view this community and even see new posts? I also saw a few posts from beehaw users themselves in the last day. According to the explanation from the admins, I should be able to see posts in /c/gaming ONLY from other lemmy.world...
The comment you linked to is provably wrong per your post. You can test whether the alternate theory is correct by posting on beehaw from your Lemmy.world account and then viewing the thread from beehaw (just don't login if you don't have an account).

I think the other user nailed it. It's easy to look at the list of lemmy servers and defederate the bot farms by comparing "active users" to "total users". I guess once the bots are active that will look a bit different.
When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature?
