Homemade Creamy Mac and Cheese!
I love mac and cheese. Restaurant mac and cheese, homemade mac and cheese, and even yes, the "blue box" mac and cheese. It's just childhood on a plate. Pure, deliciousness. I have made MANY homemade recipes, but I love trying new ones. I guess that must mean that I haven't found a favorite. . .until today. This recipe requires no baking, it's quick, and easy, and creamy, and tasty. You have to try it. Today. Seriously. You have a few hours till dinner, and who doesn't have a box of pasta in the cupboard?! Make it!
HOMEMADE CREAMY MAC AND CHEESE
2 cups pasta, any shape you have (I used mini bowties!)
3 Tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
salt
pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices GOOD american cheese
1. Cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain, and toss back into pan with butter. Mix to coat pasta in the butter.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, salt, and pepper. I used a generous amount of salt and pepper.
3. Pour cream/egg mixture over the pasta and toss in the cheeses. Stir over medium heat until cheese is melted and mac and cheese is nice and creamy. The longer you stir/cook the thicker it will be. I like it not-too-thick and oh-so-creamy, so as soon as that cheese was melted, it was done!
