Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni
- 3 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain well.
- Return the drained macaroni to the pot.
- Add the milk and shredded cheddar cheese to the pot.
- Stir constantly over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a smoother sauce, you can shred your own cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can make the sauce grainy.
- You can add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, but it is not required for the 3-ingredient recipe.
- This recipe is a great base for adding other ingredients like cooked bacon, peas, or hot sauce.
