World’s Best Easy Mac and Cheese Recipe
This is hands down the best mac and cheese recipe. So quick and easy and no strange ingredients. Simple and delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 ounces pasta small elbows or shells are my favorite
- 2 TBS Salted butter
- 2 TBS All purpose flour
- 1 C Milk
- 1-2 ounce Havarti I use sliced cheese I have on hand
- 1/4 to 1/2 C Colby Jack Cheese
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- dash of grated nutmeg
- dash of powdered onion
Instructions
- Boil the pasta.
- When done drain making sure to reserve 1/2 C of the pasta water.
- In a separate pan large enough to hold all the pasta (I use a wok) melt the butter and combine with flour.
- Cook over medium heat for a minute or two.
- Slowly whisk in milk and cook while it thickens.
- Add in remaining ingredients. Taste and add any additional cheese or seasoning to suit your preference.
- Stir in drained pasta.
Notes
If you want your sauce a little thinner add in some of the reserved water. I usually add at least 1/4 C since the sauce will thicken up as it cools and I prefer a saucier mac and cheese.
