Easy One Pot Mac & Cheese
This Easy One Pot Mac & Cheese is a creamy, cheesy dream that comes together in a single pan. Dry pasta is simmered directly in a mix of milk and broth, allowing it to soak up flavor while cooking. Once tender, it's loaded with cheddar cheese to create a gooey, rich sauce. Seasoned with a touch of garlic and onion powder, then topped with even more cheese, this comforting classic is perfect for any night of the week.
