Creamy Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese with Chard.
Homemade macaroni and cheese is a super easy to make comfort food that comes together in a flash! My Creamy Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese with Chard uses four kinds of cheeses, yogurt and whole milk for a super creamy texture. Dijon mustard and Aleppo pepper flakes add a little zip to the dish. I used vegetable rotelli and organic Swiss chard to the mix for added nutrition. You can serve my Creamy Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese with Chard as a stand alone vegetarian pasta dish with salad on the side or serve it with an uncured kielbasa sausage link, or any meat of choice for added protein! Anyway you choose, my Creamy Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese with Chard is a real crowd pleaser!
