Can You Make Kraft Mac and Cheese With Coconut Milk

Southern Baked Mac and Cheese has a rich crust on top that hides the creamy cheese sauce underneath.
(Part of this post was accidentally posted as the classic macaroni and cheese. I apologize if this appears to be a duplicate.)

Since I've been on YouTube, I've shared many recipe for macaroni and cheese. Just a few days ago, I typed up the recipe for my Classic Macaroni and Cheese( previously the recipe was available only in the video). In this post I'm going to share my last installment of mac and cheese recipes, LOL ( I don't want yall to grow bored!) Today we are making southern baked macaroni and cheese. What makes it different from any of my other macaroni and cheese recipes? The ingredients, and texture!

The time has come for me to finally share and upload a video on me making my SOUTHERN baked macaroni and cheese. Yes, I have 3 or more other macaroni and cheese recipes already available, however none of them are truly southern. They're darn delicious, but not southern- and there is a difference!
SO many people have made macaroni and cheese, and claimed it to be southern, and all it was baked macaroni and cheese. I remember going to a cookout , a year ago, and the host of the party keep bragging to all of the guest how bomb his wife's mac and cheese was. Being that macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite foods, I was excited to get a taste of this "famous" mac and cheese. This man keep telling everyone that it was the real deal, and it was truly southern. My mouth was watering, and frankly I just wanted him to shut up, and go grab me a plate. About 2 hours into the cookout the wife, finally came out with this huge platter full of mac and cheese. Everyone raced to the front of the line to dig in. When I finally made my way to the front of the line, I wanted to freaking cry! The so called macaroni and cheese that I had been waiting for was nothing more than boxed macaroni and cheese smothered in mild cheddar! Ooh that really burned my biscuits! Sadly, a lot of people make their " famous" macaroni and cheese like this. Seriously- get on Instagram, search "soul food " and see how many people try to pass off the boxed mac and cheese for the real deal, LOL!

Cheesy and rich, this macaroni and cheese is comfort food at its finest.
For my southern baked macaroni and cheese I use several cheeses. Also instead of using regular milk I use half & half, and evaporated milk. I have to be honest here, and tell you that this dish is super high in fat and calories ( like all things that taste so freaking good). That is why I only make this dish a few times a year( holidays)

Now I don't want to waste your time with my yapping, I want to see you get in that kitchen, and try this recipe out. Just keep in mind that this dish is not to be eaten every day!
