Buy it in block form or get extra thick slices from the deli to shred at home but don’t buy it pre-shredded (heavenly melting experience not guaranteed if you do). It melts like a dream, which is why it’s the secret behind velvety smooth chile con quesos. We use American cheese instead of cheddar for that classic “yellow” mac & cheese. Our favorite stove top macaroni & cheese recipe goes a little something like this: It’s also as easy as stirring pasta water, yogurt, and grated cheese together. Or squeezing yellow stuffs out of a foil packet. Stove top mac & cheese is as easy as pouring yellow powder and milk over pasta. If by “joke” I mean that’s exactly what’s in the back corner of the bottom shelf of my pantry. I often joke that my “Emergency Kit” contains a cake mix, a box of shells & cheese, and a bag of Funyuns. But the truth is, I’m the mac & cheese eater of the house. I’d like to blame the Toddler for this mac & cheese post.
