The Secret Recipe Behind Chick-fil-A’s Magical mac and cheese
Unfortunately, Chick-fil-A does not disclose the exact recipe or method for making their macaroni and cheese. Like most restaurant chains, they keep their recipes confidential.
However, we do know some general details about Chick-fil-A’s mac and cheese:
- It is made with classic cheddar and Parmesan cheeses for a rich, cheesy flavor.
- The noodles used are cavatappi, which are short cork-screw shaped pasta.
- It contains milk and butter in addition to the cheeses to create a creamy sauce.
- The mac and cheese is baked after the ingredients are combined to achieve a baked consistency.
- Some spices and seasonings are likely included, but Chick-fil-A does not reveal specifics.
While the full recipe is not available, you can recreate a similar baked mac and cheese at home using quality cheddar, Parmesan, milk, butter, salt, pepper and other desired seasonings mixed with cooked cavatappi or elbow noodles and baked until golden brown on top. Getting the perfect creamy yet baked texture takes some experimentation but well worth it!
