Ingredients
- 1 12-16 oz box pasta
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup
- 8 oz shredded cheese
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Boil 1 12-16 oz box pasta in salted water until it is al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt 3 Tablespoons butter. Stir in 1 10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup.
- Add 8 oz shredded cheese, a little at a time. Stir until smooth and then add more until all cheese has been added.
- Stir in ½ cup milk until incorporated. Add in ½ cup sour cream, drained pasta. Mix until completely coated.
- Put on your comfy pants, fill up a big old bowl and get a spoon. This is going to be good!
Notes
- For the creamiest mac and cheese, use a 12 ounce box of pasta. However, we have used a 16 ounce box several times with great
results. - A mild melting cheese is great for this recipe. Co-jack or
Monterey Jack work great. We also like a mix of half mozzarella and half cheddar. We find using all sharp cheddar to be too strong in this recipe. - Stirring in some chopped ham and peas is a great way to take this from a side dish to a whole meal.
