Easy Stove Top Mac & Cheese is my recipe of the day with the blogging group From Our Dinner Table. We get together on Sundays to post on various topics.
This week we are sharing our favorite recipes using five ingredients or less. I chose my recipe for easy stove top mac & cheese. It is super simple and quick to make. And you will find the taste so much better than boxed mix.
Made on top of the stove in a regular saucepan, you cook up your macaroni and mix it with four other ingredients: cheese, butter, a touch of mustard, and some milk.
The simplicity and ease make this perfect as a side for just about any supper meal.
