Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese image

Recipe video above. This classic Macaroni and Cheese just happens to be made in one pot! Though made with the usual ingredients, the sauce is extra silky and glossy, and it clings to the macaroni without having to make make the sauce super thick because the pasta is cooked in the sauce. So there's no risk of gluggy Mac N Cheese or overcooked pasta.

Categories     Dinner     Side

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 11

50 g / 3 1/2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups milk ((full fat preferred but low fat is ok))
2 1/2 cups water
250 g / 2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni (, uncooked)
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (, shredded)
1 1/2 cups cheese (Cheddar, Colby, Gruyere) (, shredded (Note 1))
Salt and pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium pot or large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add about 3/4 cup of milk and mix into butter mixture - it will become a slurry pretty quickly.
  • Add remaining milk and mix so the slurry mixes in. Then add water and Seasonings.
  • Add macaroni and mix. Stir occasionally as it comes to heat. When you see wisps of steam as you stir, lower the heat down to medium low.
  • Stir regularly as it cooks for 9 - 10 minutes (it will bubble gently), or until the sauce thickens and the macaroni is just cooked - tender but still firm. It should still be saucey at this stage and thinner than you want.
  • Take it off the stove and stir the cheese in quickly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately!!

  • Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add flour, and stir until combined. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Then pour in 1 cup of the water, and stir (or whisk) until the mixture is completely smooth and begins to thicken. Gradually pour in the remaining water and milk, stirring until evenly combined.
  • Stir in the pasta, salt, garlic powder, and mustard until combined. Then continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just reaches a simmer. (Btw, I recommend grating your cheese while the pasta cooks to save time!) Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the low simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 9-10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. (Be careful not to overcook the pasta!)
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the cheeses until melted. Taste, and season with additional salt (and black pepper, if you’d like), as needed.
