Do you ever want to make a mac and cheese recipe but have no milk left? Well here’s a fabulous, creamy, delicious mac and cheese recipe with no milk!
Tarabelle’s 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 almost 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 everytime–it’s the PERFECT last minute side dish!
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 3 cups water
- 1 TBS butter
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 8oz package of cream cheese
- Cook the macaroni in water until done.
- Drain macaroni and set to the side.
- Melt butter in sauce pan.
- Add cream cheese and cook low till melted- be careful not to burn.
- Add in shredded cheese and macaroni.
- Stir vigorously until all cheese is melted together and well mixed.
- You can either serve now or for additional cheesiness- pour macaroni into a baking dish.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake in over for 15 minutes.
- Serve gooey!!!
Thrive Market - It's like the Costco of organics...this is where I get all of my sugar, flour, baking supplies, kids snacks, etc.
Zaycon Foods- This is where I buy most of my meat products in bulk. The quality is amazing and the prices just can't be beat! I mean, $1.89 a pound for boneless all-natural chicken breasts!! It is bulk but you can always split with a friend or make up a bunch of freezer meals like I do-- subscribe to the newletter as I'll be sharing a bunch of delicious recipes, healthy ideas, family fun, and more!
