Get Cooking with Jodie Fitz Hi, I’m Jodie Fitz! Welcome to my kitchen. If you're looking for ways to make real food for your family and make it fast, or if you're trying to figure out how to get your kids to eat foods you didn't think they'd eat, you're in the right spot. Enjoyed by both family… and friends! I am always experimenting & creating tasty bites, finding the simplest way to do it and love sharing great flavor and time-saving finds along the way. Let's get cooking!
One Pot Mac N Cheese INGREDIENTS • 1 - 16 oz. ditalini pasta • 4 tablespoons butter • 1/2 cup sweet onions, finely diced • 3 1/2 cups milk • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper • 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated INSTRUCTIONS 1. Melt the butter in a medium to large saucepan over low heat. 2. Once the butter is melted, add the onions. Cook the onions over low heat until they begin to soften. Stir frequently to prevent the butter and the onions from browning. 3. Once the onions have started to cook, add the onion powder, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to the butter. Stir all the ingredients together well. 4. Add in 3 cups of milk and increase the heat to a medium heat and bring it to a low boil. 5. Add in the pasta, stir it into the milk and cover it. Stir frequently and cook until the pasta has cooked through. 6. Lower the heat temperature. Add in the cheese and additional 1/2 cup of milk. Stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted.
