Smooth and creamy, this easy homemade Mac and cheese comes together in less than 30 minutes on the stovetop. Not to mention the homemade cheese sauce is thick and creamy.
Add the macaroni noodles to a pot of boiling hot water. Cook about 5 minutes until noodles are al dente. Strain and rinse the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking.
Stir in milk and let this cook for several minutes. The sauce will thicken while it cooks. Let cook at a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese and the cream cheese.
