This is a nice, very creamy stove top macaroni and cheese that doesn't require a $6 brick of Velveeta. It has a very nice cheddar flavor and my family just loves it.

Ingredients For creamy stove top macaroni & cheese

  • 1 box
    (12 oz.) large macaroni noodles or mini ziti
  • 3/4 stick
    butter
  • 4 Tbsp
    all purpose flour
  • 2 c
    milk
  • 1/2 tsp
    salt

How To Make creamy stove top macaroni & cheese

  • 1
    Cook the macaroni according to package directions, drain, set aside.
  • 2
    Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Wisk in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • 3
    Pour milk and continue to stir with wisk until thickened. This will make a thick white sauce.
  • 4
    Add salts and dry mustard and stir to blend seasonings.
  • 5
    Add macaroni & cheddar cheese. Mix until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  • 6
    If cheese sauce is too thick, add a bit more milk to thin out.
  • 7
    Occasionally I like to add meatballs to this dish. Smoked sausage or diced ham are also good additions to this macaroni & cheese.
