I am always on Pinterest looking for new recipes, crafts, decoration ideas, etc... Each week, before I go grocery shopping, I will go into my dinner pin board and see what I want to make that specific week. When I saw this recipe for homemade Macaroni and Cheese, I knew I HAD to try it! The recipe I followed was posted on Revolutionary Mac & Cheesecake's blog (however, I believe she got it somewhere else).
I am always looking for new ways to make staple foods completely from scratch! This was definitely a great find. Although, I will tell you right now, if you want it to taste like that lovely box, you will be wildly disappointed. However, this is a FANTASTIC dinner substitute. It's very filling!
OH! and did I mention this is a very easy recipe!
Step 1: Take 2 cups of shell pasta and cover it with 2 cups of high fat milk. (I used Whole milk, but you can also use 2% milk.)
NOTE: Make sure that you stir frequently as it gets hotter, you don't want the milk to burn.
Step 2: You will know milk and pasta are ready when it becomes very creamy (See above: this takes about 20 mintues)
Step 3: Put 1 cup of freshly shredded cheddar cheese and cover
Step 4: Mix thoroughly once melted. You can also add about a small spoonful of dijon mustard if you want. Although I don't feel it's absolutely necessary.
Step 5: Serve immediately! (If this sits for too long the cheese won't be nice and creamy.)
