Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
8 ounces elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar (about 4 ounces)
3 ounces sliced American cheese, diced (about 1/2 cup)

I've worked out the ingredients to make it for two, but it can easily be doubled. It's simply a good, wholesome dish most folks seem to enjoy. -Betty Allen, East Point, Georgia

BEST ONE POT CHEESE AND MACARONI



Best One Pot Cheese and Macaroni image

This recipe uses less milk and no thickener what-so-ever! Very cheesy, too! You can either serve it from the pot, or top with buttered crumbs and put in 350 oven to brown for half an hour, but we like ours fine without.

Provided by Jill Faucher-Ross

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Macaroni and Cheese Recipes     Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
8 ounces seashell pasta
1 cup whole milk
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.
