Broccoli Mac & Cheese | 15 Minute Meal

A super easy and delicious meal ready in less than 15 mins. This Broccoli Mac & Cheese is sure to be a new family favourite!

In my house mid-week meals need to be quick, easy and kid-friendly too.

The last thing I want to do at the end of a busy day is to battle with my picky eaters over dinner!

So I try to make their evening meals as appealing as possible, whilst also being healthy and filling too.

And a new favourite of mine is this Stovetop Broccoli Mac & Cheese! 

Nothing beats the comforting taste of macaroni cheese. Made with just a few simple ingredients that I always seem to have on hand, it’s so quick to whip up.

In my recipe I add some broccoli to make sure that I can get some veggies in. I know broccoli is not the most kid-friendly vegetable! But when it’s mixed in with all that lovely cheesy pasta sauce, my kids are way more likely to eat it!

You could also add in other quick-cook veggies such as peas or sweetcorn.

Creamy Sauce

For the delicious creamy sauce I used Clover. Made with buttermilk, it contains absolutely no artificial ingredients and has only half the saturated fat of butter.

It adds a really lovely buttery taste to the simple roux. And without any added nasties, it’s the perfect ingredient for a simple family meal like this.

I know the traditional Mac & Cheese is finished off in the oven but my version is just cooked just on the stovetop. Keeping it as quick and as simple as possible.

When you’re in a rush to get dinner on the table you don’t want to be faffing around with an extra cooking step and another dish to wash!

Feeding our families is always such a tricky balance between filling and delicious meals they they will actually eat and recipes that are quick and easy to make when time is short.

This Mac & Cheese ticks all those boxes for me and I hope you enjoy it too!
