I used traditional sharp cheddar, but the sky’s the limit on whatever your preference might be. The recipe then calls for 6 ounces of grated cheese, which my math put at about a cup and a half. ![]() Next, I added in 6 ounces of evaporated milk (about half a can) and let the pot come back to a boil. The recipe calls for 6 ounces of the pasta, but I just eye-balled it before letting the water come to a boil and cook the noodles for about 5 minutes. The key is to wait for most of the water to be soaked up and for the macaroni to be not quite al dente since it will keep cooking while you finish the recipe. This allows the noodles to plump up and absorb the liquid which, on top of saving me from having to drain it, also helps the dairy components combine better. I started by putting some macaroni in a pot and adding just enough water to cover them. That’s it! (It’s also worth noting that this is one less ingredient than most box mixes, which usually require butter, milk, the cheese packet, and pasta.) ![]() All you need is macaroni noodles, freshly grated cheese, and evaporated milk. That’s what makes SeriousEats’ stovetop mac and cheese recipe so great: It’s just as quick and easy as box mixes, but elevates the flavor with just three ingredients.
