STOVETOP MACARONI AND CHEESE



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.

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!!

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

CREAMY STOVETOP MACARONI AND CHEESE



Creamy Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese image

Did you know that you can make creamy, rich, and saucy stovetop mac and cheese from scratch in the same amount of time it takes to cook boxed mac and cheese?

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb dried pasta: cavatappi, shells, or large elbow macaroni
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp granulated onion
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
4 oz freshly shredded cheddar cheese ((about 1 1/2 cups))
4 oz freshly shredded Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese ((about 1 1/2 cups))
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil. Bring the water to a boil and then add 2 tablespoons of salt (trust me on this, salted water makes ALL the difference when cooking pasta.) Add the pasta. Cook the pasta to al dente, being careful not to overcook. The pasta should still have a nice chew to it. Drain and do not rinse.
  • In the same pot used for the pasta, add half of the milk and cream over medium heat. In a separate bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the remaining milk and cream with the flour and spices. Whisk until smooth.
  • When the milk on the stove begins to steam (not boil!) add the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Continue whisking until the milk thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the shredded cheese, a handful at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon to melt. Remove from the heat once all the cheese has melted. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to coat. Taste and add salt, only if needed.
