Today I’m excited to share one of the only mac and cheese recipes that the cheese-hater in my family will eat! This simple recipe is perfect to throw together on a busy weeknight and it is absolutely delicious!
For this recipe, you can use any type of dry pasta that you like. On this night, I used a box of shells, and I loved the way they held the cheese sauce. Start out by preparing the pasta according to the instructions on the box.
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Next, add the milk, hot sauce and seasonings and bring to a simmer. Carefully fold in the cheese one cup at a time, stirring constantly. (Fold in the cheese, David!) By folding in, I just mean mix it together.
When the pasta has finished cooking, drain the water and pour the cheese sauce over the cooked pasta.
Serve as the main course or as the side dish to your favorite meal. Be sure to share this easy mac and cheese recipe with your friends! If you enjoyed this recipe, try my White Cheddar Mac and Cheese recipe!
