Directions
Creamy Macaroni & Cheese – for Two or One, I shouldn’t be surprised that there are more than 600 recipes for this dish After reading many, many of them, I have come to the conclusion that this one has it’s place here at Zaar The sauce is smooth and creamy, with little pockets of melted cheese throughout I hope you like this as much as I do Cooking time includes the making of the sauce and baking , Great size for two people used 16 oz cast iron pans/cups to make this in and it fit the two of them perfectly The servings were generous but not overly large For my tastes, personally, I would opt to use a mixture of cheeses or a mild cheddar I also added a bit of Dijon, maybe a teaspoon and a pinch of nutmeg I also added about 1/2 cup more of milk to loosen it up a bit Finally, I mixed melted butter and some panko and topped the bowls with that before baking I gave this recipe 5 stars because honestly, if I were more of a fan of sharp cheddar like my husband is, I would have LOVED it , Perfect I added 2 tsp prepared mustard for zip Cubed Gouda instead of cheddar Doubled recipe to use the whole box of pasta
