Creamy Stove Top Mac And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• In skillet on medium heat, melt butter; quickly whisk in flour to form a paste.
• Immediately add milk, whisking constantly, to form a smooth medium white sauce.
• Cook until mixture gnently boils and sauce thickens, adding a little more milk to make the sauce the consistency of gravy.
• Add mustard and cheese, stirring to mix.
• Cook until cheese melts and sauce is creamy.
• Reduce heat to low and add macaroni, stirring to mix well and heat macaroni.
• Serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, including juices, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, white pepper, paprika, and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Cook for a few minutes to let the flavors bloom, and then slowly stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Add the cheeses and stir until melted, then remove from heat. Stir in the pasta and toss until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni as directed on package; drain well. Return to pan.
• Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Cook on low heat until Velveeta is melted, stirring frequently.
• Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese, at the table.
• Makes 4 servings, 1 cup each.
• Some good add-ins are: frozen veggies (Fordhook limas or mixed veggies--add frozen veggies to the boiling water and cook them before adding the macaroni), leftover cubed ham, sliced hotdogs, canned tuna, or boneless/skinless canned salmon for a quick and easy one-pot comfort meal.
