I wasn't sure how this would turn out but was pleasantly surprised. Super easy and perfect for weeknight dinner. I used 1% milk and added some fresh ground black pepper. My soon-to-be 9 year old loved it. I really enjoyed it as well. Thanks for posting!

    This is such a neat recipe! I was surprised when I saw you boiled the macaroni in the milk but really surprised that you also had the butter and flour in there when you did it. I wondered if the amount of flour was right (I thought maybe it should be Tbls.) but it turned out perfectly! It was a bit soupy when I put it in the serving bowl but thickened up beautifully when it cooled slightly. This is such a great option when there isn't time to make baked macaroni and cheese but it is so rich and creamy I know I'll make it even when I have plenty of time. Thanks!

    Very quick and easy. I used mini penne (no macaroni on hand), 1% milk, and sharp cheddar (added extra). I thought the preparation was a little unusual, but the final result was surprisingly good. Thanks for posting the recipe!
