This guy looks like such a nice guy, all the love for him

[xyloz]

im 14 years old and from a fairly poor family so we rarely have the resources to make real nice home cooking, but thanks to you, i make this at least 3 times a week for myself and parents, without needing to go to the shop for anything we might not have, and it's delicious every time

[coolguy-lvwd]

this is such a wholesome channel i love this guy

[cranworthlovesapex]

I made the Mac n cheese like 5 mins ago and omg it’s so good

[Pythonaria]

My son is brilliant at making mac cheese. He watched your video and decided to try this. We used pasta shells (what we had in the cupboard) and a strong cheddar cheese. Only other thing we added was some nutmeg. It was delicious. We'll be using your method from now on. Thank you David.

I just want to say thank you. One pot chef has literally changed the dynamics of my marriage. My husband has loved learning to cook and it has made time in the kitchen a bonding practice for us! We love your videos!

[Garaimedrano]

Well, of course it's 3 ingredient:
-Macaroni
-And
-Cheese

[skytaylor]

Love how you cook with few ingredients everyone can afford some of the receipes I see with 9 spices and another 7 items and to top it off, much work, being in the kitchen for hours.

[eatntell]

culinary graduate here. I must tell you this: you're a genius.

[reformchristopher]

Ingenious - the pasta releases its starch into the milk, eliminating the need for flour!

[phoebemoore]

Came for the comfort food, stayed for this lovely guy's personality 😀

[emilycald]

Your laugh makes me happy. It's so genuine and you're so positive. Love you (:

[boomerrob]

I'm in the UK, northern hemisphere. Does this mean I should stir the mix in the opposite direction?

Loving your recipes!

[Hsvjade]

Hey mate, thanks for the great receipe. Made this tonight for the missus and the kids, only thing we did different was 2L of milk, 750g of pasta, turned out the same. Added bacon pieces that I fried off and added at the end with the same red leister cheese from coles, they never had 2 of the 200g ones so added a handful of pizza blend cheese as well.. best mac and cheese we have all had ever !!!

[luluk]

I would never have thought to do my mac in milk, what a brill idea 😊

[petrus]

Just tried this method for the first time, David. A packet of Kraft mac and cheese, rather than your shredded red Leicester; and two teaspoons each of chicken stock, Clive of India curry powder, garlic salt, and parsley.

You are a lifesaver. The main thing which put me off this was having to do a roux and use two saucepans etc, but this makes it so much easier. My great thanks. This will become my own default method in future.

[cociascarlet]

Just watched this with my sons and they are begging to have this for dinner. So thanks so much we will now be having this amazing look mac and cheese and some homemade chili for dinner!

[Phyllyps-Levine]

I made this adding 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp mustard powder, 1 tsp of worchestershire sauce, 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 stick of salted butter in the very beginning while heating the milk. Thank you so much for this recipe! SUPERB!

[mammatirs]

I just made this for dinner o.m.g it was lush! So amazing i should have took pics we just couldnt wait! I swwpped the cheese from Red Leicester to sharp mature cheddar and i chopped up some top quality ham and mixed it all around omg it was lush! Thanks so much one pot chef, your a legend hunni
