Feel free to add in any other ingredients you'd like, such as jalapeños, breadcrumbs, bacon, hot sauce, garlic, herbs, broccoli.whatever! Go crazy with it!.You will also need some fresh black pepper to taste and cooking spray.(Plus, it's usually cheaper to grate it yourself!) We hand grate the cheeses because pre-shredded cheese has a bunch of weird additives and freshly grated cheese will create a creamier mac. Most of the time we use 12 oz of Colby Jack and 12 oz of sharp cheddar. We recommend using one that is sharp and one that is a bit softer and creamier. It is best to use a mixture of cheeses for better depth of flavor.
