I think blue cheese could also be used as one of the other reviewers suggested. For the cheese I used a generous 4 oz of 2% reduced fat sharp cheddar, and threw in an little more than an oz of some smoked gruyere I had left in the fridge from something else I'd made. I added some leftover ham and peas in the at end-cuz I had it. The mustard and worcestershire sauce both added a nice tang, but it just wasn't cheesy enough for a self proclaimed mac n cheese addict. Is it what I think of when I think of mac n cheese, no. I would probably even share it with a few friends for their busy weeks. My kids ate it, I liked it, my hubby liked it, it makes a nice size portion for the calories. The sauce will thicken as it rests.3+-I did not expect a lot from this recipe with all the mixed reviews, however, I found it to be a good, solid, weeknight recipe. Season with salt and pepper and let stand for a couple of minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese and pumpkin quickly. It should be quite liquid/saucy at this point as adding in the cheese will thicken it up. Stir occasionally as the pasta bubbles away, gently, for about 9-10 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and the sauce starts to thicken. Whisk vigorously for 3 minutes or until the butter and flour make a paste. Melt the butter in a separate large pot over medium heat and immediately sprinkle in the flour. Add in the macaroni, stirring occasionally, until wisps of steam come up as you stir. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 2 tbsp salt, add pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Whisk in the rest of the milk and 2 1/2 cups of water, mustard, garlic, and onion powder. Pour in 1 cup of the milk in a thin stream while whisking – it will be quite thick. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until smooth, 1-2 minutes. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
#Creamy stove top mac and cheese recipe windows#
It’s so cozy, especially if you open up all the windows so you have mix of crisp outside air and cozy warmth. If you’ve never kotatsu-ed, I hope you get a chance to! Kotatsu is a magical Japanese invention: essentially it’s a low wooden table with a heating element underneath, covered by a thick blanket, then a tabletop. I made a veggie lasagna, got a bunch of work that I needed to get done, and even had time to relax underneath our kotatsu. But, it happened! We spent the entire day in. Although I claim that I’m a homebody, loud and proud, I don’t really remember the last time we spent the whole day at home. It’s been raining buckets outside – rainfall warning style – and Mike and I have been holed up at home, unwilling to venture out into the wind and rain. This one is the one guys, it’s the mac and cheese you’ve been looking for! As much as I love baked mac and cheese (or even waffled mac and cheese) there’s something about a one pot, stovetop recipe that gets me every time.
One pot pumpkin mac and cheese is my new fall favorite meal and maybe it will be yours too.
