Top Tips:

  • You have to work quickly at the beginning with the butter, flour and milk – as soon as the paste forms, begin to add your milk so it doesn’t stick to the pan
  • Make sure you cook on a low heat always or you might lose control and burn/overcook/overthicken your cheesy sauce!
  • Keep adding the milk gradually and whisk constantly – the lumps will smooth out eventually if you do this
  • You may even find that you need more milk because the mixture is too thick – your mixture was probably on too high a heat if this is the case, but adding more milk is an easy solution
  • If you boil your macaroni a lot further in advance you may want to toss it in some olive oil just to stop it from sticking together whilst you make the sauce – be aware that this will alter the nutritional value and flavour slightly
  • Nutritional values based on using 1 fillet of southern fried chicken and 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce per burrito
