Ingredients

  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch.
  2. 2
    Add the macaroni and lower to a simmer. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is tender and the milk has reduced to a thick sauce.
  3. 3
    Off the heat, stir in the shredded cheese until melted and glossy. Season with salt and pepper.
