Homemade mac and cheese is creamy, comforting, and easy to make on the stove. Start with a simple butter and flour roux, whisk in milk, and melt in shredded cheese.
Use a blend of cheeses, such as sharp cheddar and Gruyère, for rich flavor. Shred your own cheese from a block. It melts more smoothly than pre shredded cheese.
Pin Tip
Stir in a little mustard powder to enhance the cheese flavor without tasting like mustard.
Kitchen Tips for Success
Prep and measure your ingredients before you turn on the heat, taste as you go, and adjust seasoning at the end. A sharp knife and a clean workspace make every recipe faster and more enjoyable.
Make It Your Own
Swap in seasonal vegetables, your favorite proteins, or spices you love. Simple recipes are easy to adapt for picky eaters, special diets, and whatever is already in your refrigerator.
