I like to use a sharp cheddar that has been aged for 2 years. STIR the hot cooked pasta and sauce in the pasta pot. Stir in cheddar and whisk until completely melted into the sauce. I also believe that you really need to select a high quality cheese. Whisking constantly, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour your white cheddar cheese sauce over the cooked, drained, and rinsed 1 pound of macaroni noodles and mix well, but gently, to coat all of the macaroni completely. First, I think that shells are the superior shape since they hold the sauce so well. Add 3 cups of grated white cheddar cheese and stir until melted completely, then remove from the heat source. Make this 'better than the box' macaroni and cheese your go-to recipe.The homemade white sauce with both milk and cream and the three blocks of sharp Cheddar cheese make it a top-rated mac and cheese recipe. I have some pretty specific thoughts on how to make macaroni and cheese. The result is a meal that can be prepared in under 30 minutes!

Add salt, mustard, cayenne, black pepper, and cheeses. Whisk briskly and constantly for about 4 minutes or until the roux is golden yellow and completely smooth (no longer grainy at all.) Add warm milk and whisk until thick and bubbly. This is a classic mac and cheese with a slight twist since it is a stove top recipe that is topped with toasted panko crumbs to mimic the taste and crunch of oven baked mac and cheese, while saving on time. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter and add flour. I am suspicious of anyone who claims not to like mac and cheese, because how could you not like it? I make mac and cheese more often than I should probably admit, but I hadn’t posted a recipe in such a long time, I thought it was time to share my recipe for creamy cheddar mac and cheese. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I would want macaroni and cheese.
