Easy green bean casserole and other last-minute Thanksgiving 2012 recipes

One Pot, Stove Top, Creamy Macaroni and Cheese 

Ingredients


2 cups large elbow macaroni, uncooked
2 cups low fat milk
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt, plus additional for final season later
generous dash of nutmeg
1 cup grated cheese ( jack, cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, gouda or  parmesean)
Black pepper to taste (optional)

Directions

 Place raw elbow macaroni in colander and quickly rinse under water. Let drain.
 In medium sauce pan add milk, raw elbow macaroni, salt, butter, mustard powder and nutmeg.

On medium heat, slowly bring milk/macaroni mixture to a simmer, stirring the macaroni frequently as it comes up to a simmer.


Once mixture comes to a simmer, immediately turn down heat to low. Macaroni will slowly cook in the milk. Having your heat too high will evaporate the milk too quickly.

Continue to stir the mixture frequently so that macaroni will cook evenly and absorb milk evenly.

Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until milk has been fully absorbed.

When milk has evaporated, stir in grated cheese of your choice. Stir the  cheese evenly into the macaroni.

Turn off heat. Place lid on top of pan and cover for about 5 minutes. This rest period will allow macaroni to plump up and absorb any excess milk.

Take a final taste and add additional salt to taste. Before serving, stir one final time to mix everything together.

Serve immediately.
