https://www.recipetineats.com/baked-mac-and-cheese/ ( I followed this recipe loosely, adding in about 1/2 cup of sour cream. I didn't use pre-shredded cheese. I omitted the breadcrumbs also) I've finally found a recipe that nails the taste I like, but I ran into an issue. It's so GRAINY!!! the texture is so bad it makes me not want to eat it. Does anyone have any tips for fixing this weird texture? I'm not sure where I went wrong. submitted by /u/Sighisdad [link] [comments]
