this homemade one pot mac and cheese is one of my husband's favorite dish. he would always brag about how his mom's mac and cheese is the best mac and cheese ever, and that's because she uses really high quality ingredients and she is just great at cooking overall! (i heard she made a clam chowder the other day and i was super jealous, her clam chowder is the best i've ever had) since i cannot top mudra's mac and cheese, i decided to try some mac and cheese recipe that my husband can still enjoy while away from home.

this is just my way of making the mac and cheese, you may like it or may not like it, but i will suggest to give it a try!

this stove top mac and cheese is super easy to make so let's dive in! GOOD LUCK!

ingredients:

• 1 box elbow macaroni pasta 16oz
• water (for the pasta)
• 2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 lb jack cheese
• 1 rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes and green chillies)
• 6 tbsp butter
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tbsp mustard
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

directions:

1. cook the pasta according to the instructions (you can find the instructions in the back of the pasta box) i'm using an elbow pasta
2. while the pasta is cooking, prepare the cheese. i'm using sharp cheddar cheese and jack cheese. grinding your own cheese is also the best way to do it. pre shredded cheese usually added with some starch in it to avoid the clumping
3. once your pasta is done. drain the pasta
4. add butter into a low heat pot or pan. once the butter is fully melted, add the milk. stir
5. add the mustard. stir
6. salt and pepper. stir
7. then the cheese (leave some cheese, about 1/2 cup for the last part) and the pasta and rotel tomatoes. mix together
8. add the cornstarch. stir
9. then add the rest of the cheese. stir
10. it may look a little watery but that is okay. turn the heat off, cover the pot and let the pot of mac and cheese sit on top of the stove for about 5 to 10 minutes.
11. then serve and enjoy!

there you have it. a simple and delicious, super cheesy and creamy macaroni and cheese!

note: i made 2 stromboli with 2 different filling in it.

2. the second stromboli, it's the pizza crust, then cheese, pastrami, jalapeno and more cheese. i did not sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese however after it was in the oven for 20 minutes, i took it out and brushed with butter and then put back to the oven and baked for another 5 minutes.

both are so good and super delicious! i will make it again and again and again. :P
