3-Ingredient Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese is always a delicious option. Most mac and cheese recipes are pretty simple, but this one only requires 3 ingredients (okay, 5 if you include salt and water), is made in a single pot (you don’t even need a strainer), and it is extra super tasty.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces of elbow macaroni
  • Salt
  • 6 ounces of evaporated milk
  • 6 ounces of grated cheddar cheese
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Place macaroni in a saucepan with just enough water to cover it, along with a pinch of salt.
  • Over high heat, bring to a boil, stirring often.
  • Continue cooking and stirring for about six minutes until the water has been almost completely absorbed and the macaroni is almost fully cooked.
  • Add the evaporated milk and return to a boil.
  • Add cheese, reduce heat to low, and stir continuously for about two minutes until the cheese has melted and a creamy sauce remains.

Notes

This can be served on its own, or you can add steamed vegetables or pre-cooked meat to the mix.
