We love hearing from you, and other readers will benefit from your experience! This recipe reheats very well, though if it stays on the stovetop for a long time, some of the creamy texture may be lost as pieces of macaroni begin sticking together. Mac and cheese also makes a fantastic side dish for Thanksgiving or potluck dinners. If you’re feeding hungry carnivores, add some ribs or grilled chicken. Not into the salad life? Crispy oven-roasted broccolini is another great match. Serve this creamy mac and cheese with a simple arugula, spinach, or Italian salad for a cozy meal that will please everyone. Stir well and voila! Instant creamy, cheesy goodness! Complete the meal 😉Ĭheck the pasta every minute or two and remove from heat as soon as it’s tender. Since we’re adding all those flavor-makers to the water while the pasta cooks, the pasta itself is delicious. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then dial back the heat and let things simmer, stirring frequently. Add the butter, spices, Better Than Bouillon, and exactly 4 cups of water.

As promised: one pot, 15 minute wonder.įirst, put the dried, uncooked pasta in a large pot.

How to make itĪgain, the real star of the show here is the simple cooking method. Cheaper and less wasteful – those boxes took up a lot of space in the pantry and recycling bin! Do I really need Better Than Bouillon?Īll that to say, it’s not a necessity! You can leave it out and use 2 cups water and 2 cups broth instead. Since starting to cook with it about a year ago, I’ve cut way back on the amount of boxed broth and stock I need to buy, since a jar keeps in the fridge basically forever. It comes in little jars and is usually near the packaged broth in stores. Dissolve a tiny spoonful in water and you have instant broth, but even more flavorful. It is basically a super-concentrated paste that works as a modern-day bouillon cube upgrade. If you already keep Better Than Bouillon in your fridge, you know it solves all kinds of problems in one fell swoop. Better Than Bouillon: the secret sauce!.Spices: garlic powder, ground mustard, salt, and pepper.Buy a good box grater with a built-in cup measure and the work becomes quick and easy. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in starch specifically to keep the shards separated, so you will never get the smooth consistency you will by grating it yourself. I know it’s tempting, but the results don’t lie.

Pro tip: buy the cheese in blocks or wedges, not pre-shedded. I love 8 ounces sharp cheddar and 4 ounces Parmesan. Straightforward ingredients here, with one special guest star. I’ll write a love song instead to this method of making mac and cheese, because dang, it’s been a game-changer in our house. So let’s leave it at this: tender pasta, dreamy flavor, silky cheese sauce. A love song to mac and cheese is so obvious it’s unnecessary.

I want to write something about how we all love mac and cheese, it’s incredibly versatile, the utility infielder of every parent’s dinner rotation, so on and so forth. Serve with our favorite five-minute salad or roasted broccolini for an easy, from-scratch meal. Every bit as easy as the boxed stuff, but better tasting and better for you. You won’t believe this foolproof method, and a secret ingredient adds the best flavor. Irresistibly creamy mac and cheese made entirely in one pot in 15 minutes.
