Easy 4-Ingredient Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 pound elbow macaroni noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
• 8 ounces Velveeta (original flavor, cubed)
• 8 ounces medium cheddar cheese (shredded)
• ¾ cup milk (whole)
• salt and pepper (optional, to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Make the pasta. Make the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain using a colander.

2. 2

   Make the cheese sauce. Add the milk to a 12-inch cast iron skillet or pan over low heat, then add the Velveeta and cheddar cheese. Whisk vigorously until everything is incorporated into a smooth sauce.

3. 3

   Add the noodles. Add your cooked and drained noodles directly to the cheese sauce, then stir to combine. Be gentle. You want to ensure all the noodles have a nice coating of cheese, but you don’t want to stir so hard you break the macaroni.

4. 4

   Let everything set. Remove your skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. This gives the cheese sauce time to set and cling to all the perfectly-cooked noodles.

5. 5

   Serve and enjoy. Serve your mac and cheese in bowls as a side for your favorite BBQ meats, or add toppings and enjoy it as a main dish.
