Mac and cheese—comfort food at it’s finest and with this recipe at it’s fastest! I love how simple this recipe is. How could something so easy yield such rich, flavorful results? Who could ever make a box mix again after making it homemade?
Stovetop Mac and Cheese
When creating this recipe I added a few unusual ingredients because I love adding just a bit more excitement to food. The liquid smoke flavor, Dijon mustard, onion powder and garlic powder blend in so well you hardly know they are there. They just enhance the dish, not overpower it. I love the combination of Cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese, they are my two favorite cheeses so of course they had to be the two cheeses I used to make this recipe. They both melt so smoothly to create a perfectly silky, decadent macaroni and cheese. Enjoy!
Healthier Homemade Mac and Cheese
There’s a reason blue box mac and cheese is such a household staple—it’s delicious! It’s a quick and easy meal to have on hand, especially for kids. But sometimes you run out and you’re still craving your favorite cheesy meal. I also know that many families want or need to avoid the food dyes and other preservatives in processed shelf-stable food. This recipe is a great alternative. You can adjust the ingredients to meet the dietary needs of your family, or if you like to make it more spicy or tangy or creamy!
