    Beer cheese Mac and cheese no measuring required (all ingredients are sold/packaged in the exact amounts needed for this recipe)

    Ingredients :

    • 12oz can/bottle of beer (lagers or ales work best, avoid dark beers)
    • 8oz package of cream cheese
    • 1lb bag of shredded cheddar
    • 1lb box of elbows or whatever pasta you want

    Steps:

    1. Cook the pasta (I’m assuming most people already know how to cook pasta) and perform the rest of the steps at the same time while the pasta is cooking
    2. Pour entire bottle/can of beer into a large pot and bring to a boil.
    3. Turn heat down to medium-high and wait for the foam (if any) to settle a little bit
    4. Put entire package of cream cheese into the beer, use a wooden spoon/spatula to break it into smaller chunks as it melts, until it is mostly melted
    5. Add the shredded cheddar a little bit at a time until the entire bag is in the pot
    6. Continue to stir and break up chunks until all the cheese and cream cheese is melted
    7. Turn heat to low for the beer cheese, and finish cooking the pasta if not already
    8. Mix in cooked pasta into beer cheese pot

    This serves 4-5 people, but it leftovers pretty well so don’t be afraid of having extra

    As this is sort of a basic recipe, its easy to add optional extras too it as well. Some of my favorites are diced jalapeno, crumbled bacon, bits of steak, or broccoli
