3-Ingredient vs. 10-Ingredient vs. 30-Ingredient Mac 'N" Cheese 

I'm pretty happy I'm not lactose intolerant

“Put in a whole stick of butter” We’re here for a good time not a long time lmao

1 trillion ingredients mac n cheese: Count the atoms

him saying "you can use any pasta you want" makes me think of someone deciding to make mac and cheese using basic spaghetti

It's right there in the name. Ingredients: 1. Macaroni 2. Cheese 3. 'N

He sounds like he’s trying to not talk too loud because he doesn’t want to wake his parents up

3:45 him cutting a piece from the center got on my nerves 🥴

People: "So, how much cheese are you going to add?" Tasty: " *y e s* "

“We are gonna keep mixing until everybody knows each other” IS THAT YOU BABISH??

30 ingredient Mac and cheese?! *You gouda Brie kidding me!*

Something I learned when picking fruits for frozen yogurts is that too many fruits made it less tasty. Keeping it quite simple with 2-3 fruits made the flavors noticeable and super tasty. Putting too many made it all blend into a questionable taste

Fun fact: boiling pasta in milk and add seasoning to it is actually something very very common to eat in Sweden, we usually eat it with a kind of sausages named ”falukorv” and ketchup. The pasta w milk is called ”stuvade makaroner” and its really good! (The milk should become like a cream, so that its sticky, but not too runny. Y’all should try it!

How does the 3 ingredient look sooooo goood! I couldn’t even tell it was just 3!

I feel like alvin just added 4 types of pasta to increase the no. Of ingredients 😂

I didn't know what a Mac N' Cheese is when I was younger, or even tasting it, but just about recently right after I put Mac N' Cheese into my mouth I am in love with it

There are no words to describe how hungry I am right now.

3-ingredient mac ‘n’ cheese: 0:16 10-ingredient mac ‘n’ cheese: 1:32 30-ingredient mac ‘n’ cheese: 4:00 For those that needed time stamps. 😉

Alvin: literally makes anything Also Alvin: c h i v e s

I don't understand how adding so many ingredients to mac and Cheese makes it any Gouda

I find it cute how salt and pepper aren’t counted as ingredients in 10 ingredient pasta but are both counted as ingredients in the 30 ingredient pasta 😆

Alvin: "Hmm how much cheese should I use??" Also Alvin: "yes"

One of my favorite child cooking memories was when I was around 12, and everyone else was out of the house so I decided to cook some pasta for myself as a challenge for myself. I cooked the pasta (looking back I did a surprisingly good job with that), then I fried some mushrooms with some seasoning. Then, I mixed the pasta with a bit of mayo, then added in the mushrooms. It was so much better than I thought it would be!(Though I just eyeballed everything, and didn't follow a recipe. I've never told my family about that)

The ‘trick’ to the first recipe is to not use too much milk that you’ll end up with soup or not too little that it reduces to nothing. Once the noodles are almost done, remove it from the stove and the remaining heat will make it just right. Wait until it cools off a little before adding the cheese so it doesn’t curdle. Sometimes the simplest dishes rely more on technique. It just takes practice.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the 3 ingredient mac n cheese with maybe some salt and pepper would taste really good!

Nobody: Literally Nobody: Indian Recipes: *Adds 30 ingredients to make a cup of tea.

I've been struggling to find a mac n cheese recipe that had flavor. Now realize that different types of cheese help! Thanks, the 10 ingredient mac is going to be my next try!

When Alvin was making the 30 ingredient mac and cheese he added 4 pasta shapes not bcoz it was interesting but bcoz he was getting desperate😂

3 ingredients: chives don't count 30 ingredients: cHiVEs cOuNt

Am I the only one who wants to be Alvin's room mate?

I love when Alvin does these type of chilled out videos his voice is so soothing

My 1200 watt microwave recipe: 1 cup grated cheddar, 1 cup macaroni, 1/2 cup milk, 2 cup boiling water, 2 tablespoons flour. Place pasta and water in microwave safe dish, cook for 10 mins at 50%. Stir when done. Slowly add milk while stirring, add cheese and flour, stir and cook in microwave for 2 mins. Optional add ons: paprika, chilli flakes, mustard

Me: buys Mac n Cheese Alvin: 30 INGREDIENT MAC N CHEESE

When you’ve never tried Mac and cheese but still drool over all of the recipes 👁👄👁

My go to recipie: This is really quick and easy (like no roux making or a separate cheese sauce) First boil 2 cups of uncooked pasta in salted water. After they are done, drain the water and (I usually just use the same pot I boiled my pasta in.) And add 2 cups of milk and 3 teaspoons of cornstarch.mix on medium to high heat. Next add a cup of grated cheese. I add a mix of mozzarella and cheddar. Let it reduce to a creamy sauce. Add your spices. I add salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried basil and dried rosemary. Dont hate me for this, but I always find mac n cheese to be.. bland.. so I add some ground red chilli powder. And you're done! This takes me 40 to 50 minutes including the pasta boiling time. Edit: usually use spiral- shaped macaroni

100-ingredient mac ‘n’ cheese: First harvest some wheat, then milk a cow…

this had to come up in my recommended while i was fasting for a blood test

I tend to season my food a ton and it took me forever to realize I should break that habit for mac and cheese. Honestly, just salt and white pepper is what I force myself to stick to. Ok, maybe some truffle oil on top. But that's it! The 30-ingredient one looks gorgeous but I know exactly how it must have tasted because those seasonings are the ones I always used to use and I came to the same exact conclusion as you did. You gotta let the cheese do the talking. My main secret for mac and cheese is stirring in some cold goat cheese at the very end.

I hope I'm not the only one that loves all the types of cheese and the one which loves cheese with everything

My family loves mac and cheese. I will definitely try at least two of these. Maybe it's the lighting, but the bacon and the breadcrumbs looked burned.

Am I the only one who misses relaxing background music, no talking and "happy Alvin eating noises"?

Me watching this at 1 AM knowing I’m lactose intolerant: 👁👄👁

A good cook knows what to do with every ingredient, a great cook knows how to do everything with a few ingredients.

The three ingredient one looks like my favourite: Incredibly simple yet so tasty looking nonetheless.

Alvin: i haven’t been to the gym in a while... Me:story of my life

me watching the 30 ingredient being made: '' oh my godddd i want it'' alvin: "its actually pretty disappointing" me: "noooooooooooooooooooooooo"

I personally loved the first one it looked so easy and delicious.....this is a recipe I am definitely cooking :)

Me: **watches Anne Reardon's mini cooking video** Also Me: **Thinking everything is mini**

When Alvin posts, it's a good day.

Honestly, the 3 ingredient would be my choice (maybe with 2 cheeses). Evaporated milk isn’t my bag... They all look awesome though!

0:45 this is a common side dish in Sweden known as `stuvade makaroner´!! its just macaroni boiled in milk, like mac and cheese without the cheese

I really enjoy Alvin's voice. And when he talks about cooking, he just make you feels at home.

Tried doing the three ingredient one and added chicken and green onions! Great way to meal prep and have multiple containers of delicious mac and cheese anytime! Thanks, Alvin!

Producer: "We are missing 2 ingredients." Americans:" *jUsT aDd mOrE cHeEsE* "

Your voice is so soothing and smooth I literally fell asleep watching 30 ingredients recipe

3 ingredients = midnight cravings 10 ingredients = easy dinne side 30 ingredients = fancy dinner

i literally love binging videos like these even tho they make me so hungry ugghhwjwj

I love how peaceful and sort of more relaxed these videos are. Please keep making them. :)

Holy Cheesus! I made the 10 ingredient one last night and it was truly incredible!

My friends and family love my Mac and always ask for it ❤️ 1lb of elbow noodles cooked Al dente 2 blocks of cheese shredded( I do Colby jack and sharp cheddar) 3tbs of minced garlic 1 tbs of cayenne pepper 2 tbs of salt 2 tbs pepper One can of evaporated milk 1/2 stick of butter Mix all the ingredients together with only 1/2 the cheese, top the mixture with the other 1/2 the cheese and bake at 350 for 35 mins till it’s golden brown and bubbly

Anyone missed Alvin? Coz I did ❤️

Jokes on you i made Mac 'n' cheese using instant noodles

I love how Alvin turned into a softy when he started clocking at home😂😑❤️

I love Alvin's voice it's so calming❤️❤️

*Macaroni and Cheese* Alvin: *Uses Shells* Me: *visible confusion*

You got so accustomed to ASMR Alvin that your voice started to sound different now.

Sometimes simple is better! Thank you so much for making this video, it was sooooooo helpful!

i like how he actually used 3 ingredients for the first one, some people don’t count water as one but the way he used milk to make it really 3 ingredients 🔥

_Now we know HOW much cheese Alvin has at his home_ ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ

Who else randomly found "Tasty" one day and has been watching ever since?🍁

Is it just me or does the first one look the best and the tastiest

I did the 3 ingredient one but with mac and I also added salt and pepper, its bomb.

My wife loves everything related to cheese🤤🤤 AND TO SHOW EVERY 1 MY KITCHEN WHEN I COOK FOR HER!!❤🤩

Three ingredients: Milk, shells, cheese, and chives.

as a greek the fact you added feta and that being a really large part of most meals is amazing good job 👍🏽

The fullness to which he filled his cooking containers makes me want to pass away

Not to be offensive or anything...but the amount of cheese Americans eat honestly scares me 😂 lol Edit- guys its uncommon for me to see this much cheeze being eaten at once 🙂 thats why its scary i mean no offense to any cheeze lover or American. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I like that Tasty Producers don't have to say how amazing something tastes when they don't think it met their expectations.

Reminds me of a time when I worked at a family camp in Yosemite. I was in the maintenance department but 1 person in each department had to help in the kitchen. The day I had to help I was in charge of making the mac n cheese. I ended up making gourmet Mac n cheese with leftover bacon bits inside Italian seasoning in the sauce with bread crumb topping. Can't remember the cheese used.

I've struggle to make a roux for years and this man just waltzed in here and went "nah fam just boil the pasta in milk and then add cheese off heat" and saved my soul

That was really aesthetically pleasing to watch.. I hope Alvin creates more videos like this.

Bruh I just watched this and the 3 ingredient one seemed pretty easy but I messed it up so bad. Alvin is such a good cook that some how inspires me to do “hard” things to make

I know this was published last year, but I made the 3 ingredient Mac and cheese and it was amazing! Thank you Alvin and the Tasty team!

Mac N Cheese is the one food , that no matter how cheesy it is , whatever age you are , you won't get tired of it

*me who can’t cook looking at the 3 ingredient recipe 👀*

It’s so good to know that Alvin was like really honest about the 30ingredient one as most people wouldn’t be... All of them were so amazing though😋🤤🤎

man my mouth was already watering when i saw the 3 ingredient mac n cheese but then the 30 ingredient one? bro i probably could have drooled a small puddle man

2:00 My heart after this: "Aight imma head out, be back soon!"

Why does cheddar cheese look like carrot shreds in usa

aight IS IT JUST ME OOOOOORRRRRR his voice sounds different, seems deeper

I’m watching this at 1:00 am bc I have nothing else to do And it was a bad idea.... NOW IM STARVING 😩😣

*Lactose intolerant people watching be crying their eyes out*

What happened to "Alvin Karl Zhou's" voice 😂

honestly, if I weren’t told who was narrating this, I wouldn’t have guessed it was Alvin

When I first saw the name appear in the video I was like “Demon Chef” Alvin??? Why does he sounds so chill here 😆

For the 3 ingredient mac: you boil the milk for a least 11 minutes for the milk to become sauce

Anyone notice that he included pepper and salt as ingredients in the 30-ingredient Mac "N" Cheese but not for the 10-Ingredient one? If you're doing it for one you should do it for both, it's inconsistent. Nonetheless, great recipes overall and will definitely try them out!

Just tried the first recipe with boxed mac and cheese-cooked the pasta shells in about 3 cups of milk! It turned out super rich and creamy, definitely a different take on how you'd normally cook it. Not sure if I would do it again cause it was a little too starchy for my taste but still worth trying if you get the chance.

Omg that last one actually got me excited. Lol that gummie must have hit me hard 😂

this might be the best mac and cheese video that exists
