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.

What can I serve with this?

• Oven Baked BBQ Ribs
• Pan Seared Garlic Rib Eye Steak
• Brined Herb Chicken Breasts
• Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwich
• Spicy Fried Chicken
• Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwich
• Grilled Skirt Steak
• Bacon Wrapped Cheese Hotdogs
