Microwave Mac and Cheese

I am a lover of mac and cheese in every form. Boxed, baked, microwaved. You name it, I like it. I found this recipe on Pinterest for an individual microwaved macaroni and cheese meal. To die for. Seriously, it is so easy to make and so good. Again, only 4 ingredients... Imagine that.

What you'll need:

A mug

1/3 cup of noodles

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup cheese

Put the noodles and the water in the mug and microwave 2 minutes.

My microwave is circa 1970, so it takes forever to cook things. 

Stir and microwave another 2 minutes. It may be finished cooking at this point. Check after every 2 minutes or so. Mine took 7 minutes to finally cook, after I added a bit more water. 

Add the milk and the cheese and mix it up.

Microwave for another minute or two, stirring halfway through. 

Enjoy. 

I used rotini, so it took a little longer to cook in the microwave. I ended up needing about a tablespoon more water. If you use macaroni or a smaller noodle, I think it would cook perfectly with 1/2 cup of water. 

Perfection. Seriously. You can also use any kind of cheese that you want, or have on hand. I used the mexican blend because it is all that I had, but I think in the original recipe they suggest cheddar. Perfect for a quick meal if you're in a hurry! Or if you don't want to eat a whole box of Kraft!
