Instructions

  1. Add milk, butter, and macaroni noodles to the 5.8QT Dutch Oven and cook on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often.  

  2. Reduce the heat if the milk seems to stick to the bottom of the pan and stir often until the noodles are cooked through, about 15-18 minutes. Take caution: Cooking slow and low is advised. If cooking here is too fast or hot, the milk will curdle.

  3. Stir in the cheese and salt until melted.  

  4. Depending on the type and sharpness of cheese, it might be preferable to add up to another cup of cheese. Add to your taste, noting that we used about 1¼ cups of cheese.   

  5. Season with additional salt and cheese to taste. Serve right away and enjoy with the rest of the meal.
