Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Elbow macaroni
- 2.5 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt (to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, about 7–8 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In the same pot, add the butter and let it melt over medium-low heat.
Pour in the milk and gently warm it for 2–3 minutes, being careful not to boil it.
Gradually add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the pot, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with salt and ground black pepper (if using).
Add the cooked macaroni back to the pot and stir until all the pasta is evenly coated in the cheese sauce.
Simmer for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, to ensure everything is thoroughly heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, cheesy stovetop macaroni and cheese!
