One Pot Cheddar Mac & Cheese
This One Pot Cheddar Mac & Cheese is the ultimate cheesy comfort meal—rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor. Everything cooks in a single pan, starting with a garlicky butter base and a simmering mix of milk and broth. Pasta is cooked directly in the liquid until tender, then blended with sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and cream for an ultra-smooth, gooey finish. Perfectly seasoned and topped with cracked pepper, this dish is quick, easy, and wildly satisfying.
