Best Easy Stove Top Mac N Cheese Weight Watchers Recipes
EASY MACARONI AND CHEESE
Irresistible, creamy and so easy to make, this quick, stovetop version of mac-and-cheese is destined to become a family favorite. It's a satisfying side dish for most any sort of protein-pork, beef, chicken, or fish-and is a hearty vegetarian main course when served with a mixed green salad. This recipe beats any boxed kit with powdered cheese sauce mix or shelf-stable squeezable cheese. It all starts with a classic creamy white sauce that gets seasoned before sharp shredded cheese is whisked in until melted and incorporated. For pronounced spiciness, add red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper to the white sauce with the salt and onion powder in Step 2 to boost the heat level.

STOVE-TOP MACARONI AND CHEESE (WEIGHT WATCHERS)
We enjoyed this easy and delicious macaroni and cheese. If following the Weight Watchers plan it is only 6 pts/serving. When I made it I used whole wheat elbow macaroni and a combination of Kraft 2% sharp cheddar and some Weight Watcher Mexican blend cheese. If you start the cheese sauce while the pasta is cooking everything will be done at the same time --so quick and so easy! Recipe source: www.weightwatchers.com

Elbow macaroni is traditional but not required; any bite-size pasta shape will do nicely, such as penne, totelle, or bow ties. This recipe is 4 point value. I found this recipe in Weight Watchers magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.
