But I'm about to be that person, because it truly is the same amount of work as boxed mac and cheese. This recipe is so easy. 3 ingredients, one pot- boil pasta until water has been absorbed, stir in evaporated milk and cheese. Done.

That’s a fantastic recipe, so I don’t think that’s being snobby at all. I’ve tried making it before and it is delicious and easy. What’s amusing to me is that when DH is cramming on a project at work he craves box mac & cheese, aka the latchkey kid special. “Fancy” mac & cheese just won’t scratch that itch.

DH is the same but his comfort food is stouffer’s frozen Mac and cheese.

And I don’t think this recipe is snobby. Just other people who are like “how hard is it to...and list 10 steps and it takes 3 times as long”

I never knew boxed mac and cheese existed until I had a kid. (We had macaroni with milk and butter, my mom grew up in Minnesota. Even though we also had Velveeta in the fridge. So I didn't even know there was such a thing as mac and cheese).

Discovered when I was out of milk that making Krafts with cream instead was totally delectable.
