Stove top macaroni and cheese really is super easy. It literally takes longer to cook the macaroni than it takes to make the sauce. This took me less than 25 minutes to make…..start to finish.
And with just a couple of little tricks, it turns out super creamy and delicious. Way better than anything you can make out of a box and seriously, not much more effort!
Melt butter in a skillet or large pot. Whisk in ground mustard. Sprinkle flour over the butter and whisk in, until the flour has totally dissolved. Cook for about 1 minute.
Whisk warm milk in slowly, making sure no lumps are forming. Increase temperature and bring mixture to a boil. Cook for a couple of minutes, until mixture has thickened.
