Creamy Skillet Macaroni & Cheese
From: Tina @ www.mommyskitchen.net/
I just made some macaroni and cheese that my kids and my husband absolutely LOVED! This is exciting to me, because I have a hard time finding a recipe that pleases the whole family.
I prefer more of a creamy dreamy macaroni and cheese. Well, folks I think I have finally found the perfect recipe. I was thumbing through one of my Taste of Home magazines and came across this recipe for Creamy Skillet Macaroni & Cheese.
What jumped out at me most was the word "creamy" and that this recipe was egg free! Other than cooking the macaroni in a separate pot everything else is prepared in one skillet. You gotta love that?
The original recipe calls for half & half, but I think evaporated milk would be a great substitute. I compared the caloric information and they're about the same fat and calorie wise. This recipe is too easy not to try for yourself, so if you give it a whirl let me know what you think.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
2 - cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 - tablespoons butter
2 - tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 - cups half-and-half or evaporated milk
3/4 - lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
Directions:
Cook macaroni according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Stir in flour until smooth.
Gradually add cream; bring to a boil.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese until melted.
Drain macaroni; add to cheese mixture.
Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until heated through.
Remove from heat and serve.
