Ingredients
Scale
5 cups milk (1¼ L)
1 lb dry elbow macaroni (455 g)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (200 g)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat—don’t boil.
Add macaroni and cook uncovered, stirring often, until pasta is tender and milk is mostly absorbed (about 15–18 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar until fully melted and creamy.
Serve warm as is, or top with black pepper, paprika, or hot sauce.
