One Pot Creamy Mac and Cheese (Stovetop)

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups uncooked macaroni/pasta of your choice
• 3 cups water (see notes)
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2.5 cups sharp cheddar (freshly grated)
• 2 cups mozzarella (freshly grated)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1.5 tbsp paprika (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1.5 tsp sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Grate the cheese and prepare all the ingredients.
2. 2 To a pot, add the dried macaroni pasta and pour in water. Over medium high heat, bring the pot to a boil and once boiling, turn the heat down to medium low.
3. 3 Cook the pasta per package instructions or until al dente then turn heat down to low. You want most of the water to evaporate but still a little bit left in the pot.
4. 4 Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and stir until well combined and all the cheese melts. Adjust to taste. Best served while hot and enjoy!
