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

1 box (12 oz.) large macaroni noodles or mini ziti
3/4 stick butter

2 cups milk

How To Make creamy stove top macaroni & cheese

Step 1

Cook the macaroni according to package directions, drain, set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Wisk in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 3

Pour milk and continue to stir with wisk until thickened. This will make a thick white sauce.
Step 4

Add salts and dry mustard and stir to blend seasonings.
Step 5

Add macaroni & cheddar cheese. Mix until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Step 6

If cheese sauce is too thick, add a bit more milk to thin out.
Step 7

Occasionally I like to add meatballs to this dish. Smoked sausage or diced ham are also good additions to this macaroni & cheese.
