These Carbs Don't Count
June 6, 2025
This One Pot Mac & Cheese is the ultimate in creamy, cheesy comfort food—perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Dry pasta is simmered in milk and water, creating a built-in starchy base that binds beautifully with cheddar, mozzarella, and cream. A second layer of cheese and seasoning takes the richness over the top, resulting in a smooth, ultra-luxurious mac. It’s easy, mess-free, and irresistibly satisfying.
