I think you all know my love for mac and cheese at this point. I'm hooked on using the evaporated milk instead of regular milk, too. It just tends to give the mac and cheese an even creamier texture. No chance of it getting gritty, which can happen if you let a milk/cheese combo boil. This is definitely not a healthy meal...but sometimes you need to throw healthy out the window for one night!!

I made stove top mac 'n' cheese the other night, too! But I went slumming 'cause I was in a hurry, and used a box (hangs head in shame as she types). This looks SO fabulous - wish I'd invited myself to your house instead of just resorting to my version ... :)
I love stovetop mac n' cheese. I'm not a fan of the baked version which I find dry. Yours looks moist and inviting. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Like Mary I made stovetop mac & cheese the other day. It was a blue box and it was gross LOL!! This looks way better :) I'll have to try the evap milk trick. I've got a can in the pantry as a matter of fact! Delicious quick dinner Jenn!
