Creamy Stovetop Mac & Cheese
This Creamy Stovetop Mac & Cheese is the ultimate comfort food. Made in one pot, this version starts with garlic butter, followed by heavy cream and a flavorful seasoning blend. A dreamy trio of cheeses—cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan—plus a few velveeta cubes take it to the next level. Quick, gooey, and unapologetically cheesy, it’s the mac you’ll want on repeat every Monday and beyond.
