Tips
- The trick is to make sure that everything is still hot.
- You can buy pre-shredded cheese, but once you use block cheese, you just don't go back.
- You can stop after mixing the cheese and other ingredients with the noodles, but for a step further, add shredded cheese on top as well as smoked paprika and parsley and bake in the oven.
- This is a no-roux recipe, and the only thing you have to use the stove for is to boil the noodles.
- This mac and cheese is quick enough to make during the week.
- The cheese will melt and become super creamy, you won't even have to make a cheese sauce.
- Quick and easy mac and cheese, okay!
