Stovetop Mac-n-Cheese
Want to make mac n cheese but don't want to open a box of with orange powdered cheese. This is your alternative. It taste so much better and is from scratch in minutes!
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Elbow Macaroni 2 cups
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Evaporated Milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Fill 3 quart saucepan half full of water, salt water generously. Bring water to a boil and add noodles. Cook noodles al dente, usually I cook them 1 minute less than the box directions. Drain noodles, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. (If you forget to do this no biggy.)
- Return noodles to the pan and add butter. Allow butter to melt, a minute or two. Stir it around so the heat of the noodles melts the butter. While butter is melting...
- Whisk together eggs and milk, add salt and pepper to taste. Return pan to medium low burner, pour in milk/egg mixture, add cheese, continue to stir until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbly. Cook for at least 5 minutes. If mac-n-cheese seems too thick this is where you add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up. Or you can add more milk.
