Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese image

A really good recipe that I tried from the Joy of Cooking 75th Anniversary Cookbook. Great for children who don't like baked mac and cheese!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups elbow macaroni
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
3 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon hot water (to dissolve mustard in)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water for recommended cooking time on box.
  • Drain and return to pot and add butter.
  • Stir macaroni and butter until well blended.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (evaporated milk through pepper) and stir well.
  • Set pot over very low heat and cook macaroni mixture.
  • Stir constantly until sauce is smooth and macaroni is steaming, 5-10 minutes. The sauce should thicken, if not, slightly raise the heat and cook another 5 minutes.
  • DO NOT OVERHEAT OR SAUCE WILL CURDLE.
  • If you have family members who like baked macaroni, you can put this into a baking dish and top with breadcrumbs, and then cook in a 350 degree over for 5-10 minutes. Macaroni will still be creamy, and there will be a nice crunchy topping.

This recipe is a bit more time-consuming than some other macaroni and cheese recipes, but it's worth the effort. The homemade cheese sauce is so much better than anything you can get from a box.

I was a bit skeptical about making macaroni and cheese on the stovetop, but I'm glad I gave this recipe a try. It turned out perfectly! The cheese sauce was smooth and creamy, and the pasta was cooked just right.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's so quick and easy to make, and my kids love it. I always add a little bit of diced ham or bacon for extra flavor.

I've tried many macaroni and cheese recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheeses is perfect, and the panko breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunchy texture.
