Description

Bye-bye blue box! This quick stovetop macaroni & cheese has the creamy texture of everyone’s favorite, but this homemade version has a much better flavor and a much more identifiable ingredients list. Do yourself a favor and try this one out. You’ll be glad you did!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Elbow Macaroni
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1-½ cup Fat-free Evaporated Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Red Pepper Sauce
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 8 ounces, fluid Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

Preparation

Begin boiling the elbow macaroni. Cook according to package directions.

While that boils, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, mustard, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Drain the macaroni and return to pan over low heat. Add the butter and stir around to melt. Slowly pour in the egg mixture, stirring constantly to thicken. Once it thickens, about 5 minutes, add in the shredded cheese and stir around to melt. Serve immediately!

*If it starts to get too thick or you want to reheat some later, add a little more evaporated milk to keep it creamy.
