In this episode of Good Eats, Alton shows little Alton how to make mac and cheese like the Kraft Macaroni and cheese. I’m a huge fan of boxed mac and cheese and my favorite is the Velveeta shells and cheese. This recipe is really close to that. The eggs get combined with the evaporated milk and spices. Then on low heat (or off the stove top) you combine the noodles, egg mixture, and cheese together until every thing is combined. It is so simple and such an easy method and the eggs will not curdle this way and turned to scrambled eggs. By far the best Mac and Cheese recipe that comes close to Kraft Mac and Cheese.
How to Stove Top Mac and Cheese
For the full recipe, please see the recipe card below. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a sprinkling of salt, then boil your noodles according to package directions. Once al dente, drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the butter and stir until butter has melted. Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, cayenne, 1 tsp. salt, pepper, and mustard. Once the noodles are cooked, drained and the butter has melted, stir the milk mixture into the noodles until incorporated. Add in the cheese and stir over low heat until cheese has melted, approximately 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
