Recipe mac and cheese does it always have to be baked?
any good ideas something creamy easy...that a 4 year old would like as well.....also why bake mac and cheese doesn't that defeat the purpose and make it dry?
Answers:
i wondered the same thing about 5 years ago, after researching and trying a few, this was my favorite. it is also the easiest and it doesn't use a bazillion different cheeses, so it's very kid friendly (i should know, i have two - my husband and my daughter, lol)
Stove Top Mac-n-Cheese (alton brown's)
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
6 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.
