stove top mac and cheese with evaporated milk

It’s supposed to be a once-in-a-while indulgence or something special to grace your holiday table this year. Yes, I do try to share more nutritious recipes on this site, but this is not intended to be one of those recipes. The pasta is well encased in plenty of said sauce because nothing is more grievous than a dry plateful of mac and cheese! It’s very indulgent tasting with a generous amount of a cheesy, creamy sauce. What should you expect? This recipe is ridiculously rich, creamy, and fully loaded with an ungodly amount of cheese. So, with persistence, I finally present our favorite Baked Mac and Cheese recipe. Beyond the flavors needing to be robust, I didn’t want a recipe that took a decade to make– because let’s be honest, it’s mac and cheese and who’s got time for lengthy mac and cheese prep?! And then there’s the topping, which had to be crunchy, crispy, and tie everything together. I think I’ve tried every cheese combination under the sun and so many cheese-to-noodle ratios that I’ve lost count. What in the what?! Let me tell you, I have tried working through dozens of iterations over the years, and to be honest, none have been worth sharing - until now of course. Here I’ve been sharing recipes for nearly 8 years and yet, I’ve included a standard baked mac and cheese recipe. Love mac and cheese? Us too! Try our Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese or BBQ Pork Mac & Cheese that is made in one pot!

The is the best Baked Mac and Cheese we’ve ever tasted! It’s ridiculously creamy, cheesy, and rich with the perfect blend of cheeses and the ultimate crispy topping! Plus, it’s not a recipe you need to slave over all day - we’ve made it as simple as possible!
