Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese (Easy Homemade Macaroni and Cheese)
Simple recipes / Sara Bir
We love macaroni and cheese in all its forms in our house: freshly baked on the stovetop in the oven with a crown of buttery breadcrumbs and especially from a ready-made mix. Those little orange or blue boxes have been my friends since I was a kid. They represented simple comfort food that I could make myself. The same goes for the years I spent as an unknowing adult trying to find my way in the world. Before our daughter was born her father and I would happily eat Trader Joe's classic macaroni and cheese about once a week topped with chopped hot dogs and frozen peas.
Now my daughter is the one who eats mac and cheese out of a box like it’s its own food group. I wanted to have a little more control over what goes in it so I developed my own mac and cheese. We’re happy with the results and I think you will be too. All you need for the “box” is three ingredients and then—just like the real thing—you add milk and/or butter when it’s time to cook it.
