Ingredients
- 1 cup elbow macaroni
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the macaroni and water. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is cooked and the water has been absorbed.
- Once the macaroni is cooked, add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and butter to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Microwave the mac and cheese on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Stir the mixture every 30 seconds to ensure that the cheese is evenly melted.
- Once the mac and cheese is heated through and the cheese is fully melted, add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the mac and cheese hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Microwave cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage; stir frequently to prevent the pasta from drying out.
- Add a splash of milk if the mac and cheese becomes too thick or dry.
