Description

This Easy Stovetop Mac and Cheese is classic comfort food, made in one pot with just 5 ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound shell pasta
  • 2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sharp grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta according to the package directions.
  2. While the pasta is boiling, whisk both cheeses, evaporated milk, eggs, and salt together in a large sauce pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Continue cooking and stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. When the pasta is finished cooking, reserve one cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
  4. Add the drained pasta to the cheese mixture and stir to coat the pasta utterly. Add in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the consistency you desire. I normally end up using 3- 4 tablespoons of pasta water.
  5. Serve instantly.
