How to Make Mac and Cheese with No Milk Recipe
Now, I can’t take credit for this yummy recipe on my own…my best friend, the Tarabelle (I can’t believe we’ve been friends for over 2 decades! Holy cow that makes me feel old now!) Anyway, the Tarabelle is one of those friends that you don’t see for years and once you get together it’s like a day hasn’t passed!
Anyway, one day the Tarabelle decided she wanted to make mac and cheese for dinner but didn’t realize she had no milk left….oops. So she brilliantly came up with this fantastic substitute– that I’ve started using even when I do have milk. When I have the time I always make my Ultimate Crock Pot Mac and Cheese because you can’t get cheesy goodness any better than that– but when I’m wanting to make a quick mac and cheese side this is the route I go every time–it’s the PERFECT last minute side dish!

I liked this recipe and it definitely fills the bill in a pinch, but the cream cheese taste was a bit strong. If I do it again, I might cut that in half and cut it with another liquid.
Do you not need flour? I found this recipe too late I was trying to make cheese sauce and had no milk but had butter flour and cheese I found organic butternot squash purée soup and I use that instead of MilK actually tasted really good I just thought on a whim I would try it and if it was gross I would throw it away lol
What kind of shredded cheese do you use?
Also, what temperature should the oven be set at?
I set the oven to 350 degrees.
You can use whatever your family likes. I typically go with Sargento’s Three Cheddar Blend…it’s delicious!
Great! I sautéed mushrooms, chopped asparagus, diced onions and minced garlic with an additional tbs of butter, seasoned with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and chili powder. Turned out great and my toddlers are eating their hidden veggies!! Thanks
