Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Casseroles

A delicious stove top version of macaroni and cheese...convenient, easy and much tastier than anything you could ever get in a box.

 "just as easy as making the boxed stuff, except you know what's in it! It tastes even better, too. My kids love it (sans hot sauce) and I use whole wheat pasta and soy cheese. I like it with a tiny bit less pepper and mustard, but otherwise, de-lish!!" - CoriD31

10 ouncessharp cheddar cheese,; shredded

Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook your macaroni in this until just al dente, according to the package directions. Drain well, then return to the pot. Add the butter and toss the macaroni well to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir the egg/milk mixture into the hot pasta, then add the cheese. Reduce the heat to low, and continue to stir and cook until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy. Serve.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Notes

For an extra kick, try a combination of aged cheddar and hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese.

    I make this with rigatoni instead of elbow macaroni, and use a Vermont cheddar. This is an amazing and easy recipe. My god daughter and her brother ask for it EVERY time they come over.

    We thought this was terrible. It is impossible to mess up Mac and cheese therefore I feel this is a bad recipe and I am easy to please.
