build your own mac and cheese bowls

 This was another recipe borrowed from A Life from Scratch on Instagram that was a hit with our family-- we love Courtney's flexible, deconstructed, bowl-style dinners. 

SIX INGREDIENT STOVE TOP MAC & CHEESE:

  • 1 lbs elbow pasta, we use Jovial to stay gluten free
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 3 TBS flour, used gluten free
  • 2 cups whole milk, warmed
  • 2-3 cups shredded cheese, we used a blend of Colby, cheddar and Monterey Jack
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook and drain pasta. 
  2. In the same pot, add butter and let melt over medium heat. Whisk in dry mustard. Sprinkle in flour and whisk together, cooking a minute or so. Whisk in milk, increase heat, and let thicken for a few minutes. Season with salt & pepper. 
  3. Turn off heat and stir in cheeses. 
  4. Stir in pasta.

We served with:

  • Sliced scallions
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Prepped broccoli
  • Defrosted peas
  • Chopped up cooked bacon
  • Grilled chicken
  • Buffalo and BBQ sauce
