Grate cheeses.

Trader Joe's is famous for its frozen butternut squash mac and cheese during this time of the year, so we used it as inspiration for picking this recipe's cheese blend. You will need three types:

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar, shredded
  • 1 cup Gouda, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated

Repeat after me. The quality of your mac and cheese is dependent on the quality of your cheeses. If you are a mac and cheese snob like me, make sure you don't go cheap when selecting your cheeses. Buy the finest your eyes, taste, and touch can get. Shred and grate all three and set aside.
