Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Macaroni and Cheese.
Step 1
Start by cooking the elbow macaroni in a large pot, following the package instructions until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 2
Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the creamy cheese sauce.
Step 3
In a separate large saucepan, combine milk, Country Crock® Spread, and flour, whisking them together until everything is nicely blended.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently as the mixture heats up.
Step 5
Keep an eye on it until it comes to a gentle boil, which is when the magic begins! Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes or until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency.
Step 6
Now, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese, mixing until it melts into a smooth, cheesy delight.
Step 7
Finally, gently fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, ensuring every piece is beautifully coated.
