Step 1

Begin by pouring your noodles from the box into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the noodles in water in the microwave for approximately 8 to 10 minutes on high or until the water is mostly evaporated and the noodles are cooked so that they are soft.

Step 2

It is a really good idea to check on your macaroni and cheese when it’s about four-five minutes in and remove it from the microwave, stir it thoroughly before you continue microwaving.

Step 3

After your pasta is cooked most of the water should now be evaporated so you can simply add your cheese. Add your cheese packet, along with milk and butter if desired. Stir until combined.

Step 4

If you were able to find it or have it on hand, we strongly encourage you to add two slices of American single craft cheese to your mac & cheese. Stir your cheese until it is combined with your mac & cheese. This makes the overall flavors of your macaroni and cheese so much better. Enjoy!
