3-Ingredient Stovetop Mac and Cheese Recipe

• servings: 2 servings
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

6 ounces (170g) elbow macaroni

Salt

6 ounces (180ml) evaporated milk

6 ounces (170g) grated mild or medium cheddar cheese, or any good melting cheese, such as Fontina, Gruyère, or Jack

Directions

Place macaroni in a medium saucepan or skillet and add just enough cold water to cover. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook, stirring, until water has been almost completely absorbed and macaroni is just shy of al dente, about 6 minutes.

Immediately add evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Add cheese. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continuously, until cheese is melted and liquid has reduced to a creamy sauce, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with more salt and serve immediately.

Notes

Try spreading in a casserole dish, covering with a mixture of buttered breadcrumbs, parm, and chive, then hitting it under the broiler for a minute or two.
