Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese tips
- Cook your pasta al dente, it will cook a tad more in the cheese sauce.
- Make sure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go.
- Grate your cheese by hand. Pre shredded cheese is coated with starches and doesn’t melt as well.
- Cube you American cheese up into small pieces.
- I use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
