  • 3 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 lb uncooked macaroni noodles (or other tube-shaped pasta)
  • 4 ounces American cheese of choice (monterey jack can be used, but American gives a very creamy texture!)
  • 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup mashed cooked sweetpotatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, mix together milk, water, ground mustard, and pasta.
  • Over medium heat, bring the pot to a low simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender and milk is reduced from absorbing into the pasta.
  • Turn heat to low and gently stir in the cheeses and sweetpotato until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
