- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add macaroni and American cheese; stir until cheese is mostly melted, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; mix in milk.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven on the low broil setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake under the preheated broiler until American cheese and pretzels start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
