Retro One Pot Macaroni Supper Recipes

STOVETOP MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium pot or large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Add about 3/4 cup of milk and mix into butter mixture - it will become a slurry pretty quickly.
• Add remaining milk and mix so the slurry mixes in. Then add water and Seasonings.
• Add macaroni and mix. Stir occasionally as it comes to heat. When you see wisps of steam as you stir, lower the heat down to medium low.
• Stir regularly as it cooks for 9 - 10 minutes (it will bubble gently), or until the sauce thickens and the macaroni is just cooked - tender but still firm. It should still be saucey at this stage and thinner than you want.
• Take it off the stove and stir the cheese in quickly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately!!

ONE-POT BROCCOLI MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• In a large pot or skillet, combine the macaroni, broccoli, milk, salt and garlic powder. Add 3 cups of water, and stir to combine. (The pasta may not be fully submerged. That's OK!) Bring to an active simmer over medium-high. Reduce the heat to medium to gently simmer. Cook, stirring often to ensure even cooking and to keep things from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the pasta is tender, and the liquid resembles heavy cream and coats the noodles, 8 to 12 minutes. If the liquid evaporates so much that you don't see any between noodles, add 1/2 cup water. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
• Remove from heat and stir in the Cheddar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat!

• Enjoy!

BEST ONE POT CHEESE AND MACARONI

Steps:

• Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.
