Salted Butter - This is a big component in flavor however unsalted is fine too.Pasta Noodles- I used shells however you can use any shape you like.Ingredients in Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

I like to use mini shells because it always reminds me of old fashioned mac and cheese like Grandma would make, but you can substitute traditional macaroni noodles or any other noodle that your kiddos like. If you're used to measuring milk and cutting up a stick of butter while you boil boxed noodles, you are basically half way there.

I've been know to break out a box of Annie's Organic from time to time but making this version on the stovetop takes only a marginal amount of effort more than the boxed stuff and it's so much more delicious. This 'naptime' calls for Easy Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese with a side of wine.just kidding, sort of.Īll sleep deprived joking aside, do you make homemade mac and cheese or do you box-it? You will find no judgement here but I am a bit curious. I'm about to Google, 'is it normal for two year olds to drop naps?' Please send help.
