Rihanna’s Macaroni and Cheese Recipe: 5 Things I Have to Question

Memorial Day marks the official start of cookout season, and for many, that means indulging in delicious food outdoors. While some may have their meat marinating, the real star of the show is the side dishes. And when it comes to sides, macaroni and cheese reigns supreme for many.

Recently, Rihanna’s macaroni and cheese recipe has been making waves, with fans and foodies alike trying to recreate the singer’s take on the classic dish. Rihanna first shared her recipe with Esquire in 2014, and since then, it has garnered both praise and skepticism.

As a self-proclaimed macaroni connoisseur, I had to weigh in on Rihanna’s recipe. Hailing from Alabama, I have a soft spot for traditional mac and cheese casseroles loaded with cheese, butter, milk, and eggs. Rihanna’s recipe, inspired by Caribbean macaroni pie, takes a different approach with the addition of vegetables and condiments like mustard and ketchup.

While some may appreciate the unique flavors Rihanna brings to the table, others, like myself, have reservations. From the lack of vegetables in mac and cheese to the absence of a roux for added creaminess, there are several aspects of Rihanna’s recipe that raise eyebrows.

Ultimately, whether you’re a fan of Rihanna’s macaroni and cheese or prefer a more traditional approach, one thing is for sure – cookout season is off to a flavorful start.
