I always thought the microwave was an appliance for thawing frozen goods or warming up leftovers. Then I discovered microwave recipes! No need to buy the boxed kind of Mac & Cheese with this 4-ingredient recipe, instantly ready to eat from the mug.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Serves: 1

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients for Mac and Cheese:

Pasta - 1/3 cup

Water - 1/2 cup

Milk - 1/4 cup

Cheddar cheese - 1/2 cup (grated)

Method of preparing the Mac and Cheese:

In a large mug, mix the pasta and water. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and stir. Repeat this for 2-4 minutes, stirring at the 2-minute interval. The water should be absorbed and the pasta cooked.
Remove the mug from the microwave and mix in the milk and cheese.
Microwave for 1 minute and afterward stir the cheese thoroughly into the pasta.
