Easy Homemade Mac and Cheese
This is the only way to make homemade mac and cheese. This easy homemade mac and cheese recipe is a huge hit in our house! My kids love boxed mac and cheese like every other kid, but this is honestly so much better. It's so simple & requires only one pan so cleanup is a breeze. The kids absolutely love it and I love how simple it is! You can also use any type of cheese you prefer so it’s very versatile. It’s cozy, comforting, and a great quick dinner to have on hand. We hope you enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 2 cups chicken bone broth or chicken stock
- 8 oz whole milk (more if needed)
- 8 oz dry pasta elbow
- 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded (you can also use a mix of cheddar & mozzarella)
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Gradually pour in the broth while whisking.
- Once the liquid boils add in the pasta & season with sea salt. Cover the pan & let it cook for 8-12 minutes depending on the pasta shape until it’s cooked. Mix every so often.
- Once it's cooked through, add the milk and mix well and pour in the shredded cheese (I use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella sometimes) and mix well until everything is incorporated. Season with more sea salt to taste. You may need to add a dash more of milk, sometimes it'll get dried up so just add a bit more!
- Serve warm and melty and enjoy!
