During the long work week, the last thing I want to do when I get home is slave over a hot stove. And OK, I admit it — I have been known to reach for a box of macaroni and cheese (feel free to second that if you’ve ever done the same!). But getting a delicious meal on the table doesn’t have to be a chore. That’s what inspired this Skillet Mac ‘n’ Cheese recipe. It’s ready to eat in just 30 minutes.

Flour cooked in butter is the easy secret that helps thicken the sauce. Then a touch of Dijon adds a zingy pop. We stir in two kinds of cheese — cheddar for sharpness, and Fontina for all that nutty goodness. When mixed with the pasta, the result is so creamy, we promise, you’ll never go back to the box again. Cook along with our video and watch how easy it is, then leave us a comment below.
