STOVETOP MACARONI AND CHEESE

When I was a girl, Mama used Texas longhorn cheese in this recipe. After it melted all over the macaroni, I loved to dig in and see how many strings of cheese would follow my spoonful. -Imogene Hutton, Brownwood, Texas

MACARONI AND CHEESE FOR TWO

This is one of those dishes that our family calls "a Mama recipe." My mother rarely consulted a cookbook, so when asked for a recipe, she could only estimate. I've worked out the ingredients to make it for two, but it can easily be doubled. It's simply a good, wholesome dish most folks seem to enjoy. -Betty Allen, East Point, Georgia

  • Mix in a medium nonstick saucepan 2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard.
  • Add 2 cups (about 8 oz of pasta). Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat stirring frequently. As soon as it starts to boil, reduce heat to simmer uncovered. Continue to stir frequently.
  • The milk will absorb and cook away in about 15-20 minutes. As you approach this point, test pasta for tenderness. It will probably not be done yet. Add 1/4 of milk and continue to cook and frequent stirring. You may need to repeat this again. It may take up to 25 minutes and a total of 2 1/2 cups of milk total to finish the pasta. But your results may differ.
  • When the pasta is tender, and the milk mostly absorbed, add 1 cup of cheese (your choice), remove from heat, and cover for minutes.
