Ingredients

  • 6 ounces macaroni

  • water to cover

  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 1 ounce heavy cream

  • 6 ounces grated Colby cheese

Directions

  1. Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in dry macaroni noodles. Pour in enough water to barely cover macaroni. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously.

  2. Continue stirring the macaroni until water is almost evaporated and pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Pour in evaporated milk and cream. Add grated cheese and stir until cheese has melted and everything is well combined. Serve immediately.

Cook's Notes:

Any type of good quality cheese may be used. I suggest trying extra sharp Colby, but you can also try a blend of cheese.

Because the cheese I use had been brined I didn't need to use salt or any add ins a traditional macaroni and cheese calls for.

This recipe must be tended to continuously. You can't walk away otherwise you risk the pasta sticking to your skillet.
