Description
Over 25 best side dishes for chops including everything from veggies, pasta, soup, bread, and more. One of our favorite sides is this Stovetop Mac and Cheese.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups water
- 4 cups milk
- 1 lb. uncooked elbow pasta
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt

Panko Topping (optional):
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in water, and whisk until smooth. Pour in milk and whisk to combine.
- Add uncooked pasta, garlic powder, ground mustard, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium low heat. Cook for 9-10 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
