Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese

Growing up, I was always fond of $0.10 boxes of Kraft's Mac N Cheese and I always wondered what the homemade one tasted like. Baked macaroni and cheese is good and all, but it doesn't deliver that gooey cheesiness like the box version. I found Alton Brown's Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese recipe and it's everything I imagined it to be. Cheesy GOODNESS!


  • 1/2 pound elbow macaroni
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 ounces evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded (I used 3 oz. Velveeta and 7 oz. sharp cheddar)
One by One
  1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.
