This is a simple macaroni and cheese recipe, which doesn’t involve making a rue. It can be done in one pot. The pasta water will bring the sauce all together. It is extremely important to not drain off that pasta water.
Serves: 3 to 4 people
Ingredients:
For cooking macaroni:
1 cup Macaroni
1 3/4 cup Water
1/4 tsp Salt
For cheese sauce:
4 tbsp Butter
1/4 cup Milk
3 oz Cheddar (cut into small chunks)
4 slices of American Cheese
Other tools:
Pot and Lid
Spoon
Directions:
- Add water to a pot and bring to boil on the stove.
- Add salt and macaroni, then stir.
- Cook until pasta is fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Do not overcook pasta!
- When pasta is about 2 minutes from being done, add the butter.
- When pasta is done add milk, stir and return to light boil.
- Turn off heat. Add cheddar, and American cheese. Stir then cover with lid.
- Wait about 7 minutes for everything to melt, then uncover and stir. Your macaroni and cheese is now done.
- If cheese needs to melt a little more, then you can turn the heat on low and stir for a little bit to finish.
