Skillet Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Skillet Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 ounces macaroni
  • Water to cover macaroni
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 ounce heavy cream
  • 6 ounces grated Colby cheese

Directions:

Step 1: Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dry macaroni noodles to the skillet.

Step 2: Pour in enough water to just cover the macaroni. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent the noodles from sticking.

Step 3: Continue to stir until the water is almost evaporated and the macaroni is tender but still firm, about 8 minutes.

Step 4: Add the evaporated milk and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 5: Stir in the grated Colby cheese and keep stirring until the cheese has fully melted and everything is smooth and well combined.

Step 6: Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, cheesy macaroni!

Cook's Notes:

  • You can use any type of good quality cheese. Extra sharp Colby is highly recommended, but feel free to experiment with cheese blends for different flavors.
  • If the cheese you're using has been brined, you might not need to add any salt or extra seasonings, as it will already be flavorful.
  • Be sure to stay with the macaroni while it cooks. If you walk away, the pasta may stick to the skillet.
