We’ve got macaroni, butter, and lots of cheese coming together in mouth orgasm inducing combinations cooking up on the stovetop today! Yeah, I can get a little crazy when it comes to mac and cheese and that’s because it’s one of my favorite comfort foods ever. Mac and cheese, at least the box version, is something most of us used to live on during college, but then I learned to make it myself, thanks to Alton Brown, who is my favorite food network chef ever, and I never looked back. I never even bought a box of mac and cheese again. What can I say besides thank you, Alton Brown!
Pasta – I like to use the elbow macaroni pasta, but you can use any kind of small pasta or even spaghetti to make your recipe. Cheese – Even though I used cheddar cheese here, you can confidently work with whatever cheese you have handy that melts well and has a saltier taste such as Monterey Jack, Gouda, Fontina or Havarti. Seasoning – salt and pepper is just fine to add onto this recipe, but if you prefer anything extra like chili flakes or Italian seasoning, go ahead. Eggs – I used 2 large eggs to whisk into the base sauce. Milk – Evaporated milk works great in the base sauce, but any kind of milk works well too. Hot Sauce – I love to use any kind of hot sauce I have handy just to add a bit more flavor to the whole dish.
