Step 1

Add the macaroni and water to the rice cooker. Cover with the lid and turn the rice cooker on. Mine just has a simple on/off button but if yours has a timer, set it for 5 minutes.

Step 2

After 5 minutes, stir to ensure the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom. It will likely need to cook for a total of 7 minutes, but taste it until it’s al dente.

Step 3

The water will evaporate as the pasta cooks so there won’t be much water left once the pasta is al dente. Add the milk, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Stir until combined. Add salt to taste.
