How to Make All American Macaroni And Cheese

  1. Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pot over very low heat.
  3. Return the drained pasta to the pot. Stir to coat with the melted butter.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 large beaten egg, and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk.
  5. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy masterpiece!
