One Pot Mac and Cheese
The easiest mac and cheese you'll ever make. Creamy, cheesy and ready in just 10 minutes, all in one pot. The ultimate comfort food dinner.
Servings: 2 serves
Ingredients
- 250 g macaroni
- 500 ml milk
- 250 ml water
- 100 g processed cheese slices
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the macaroni and milk to a pot and bring to the boil over medium-high heat, stirring regularly to prevent the milk from catching on the bottom.
- Reduce to a simmer and continue stirring regularly. As the pasta absorbs the liquid, gradually add the water to loosen.
- Once the pasta is al dente, turn off the heat and stir through the processed cheese, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper until completely melted and smooth.
- Serve immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools - add a splash more milk if you'd like it looser.
Notes
- You can add all the milk and water together at the beginning if you prefer.
- You can use all milk instead of the milk and water combination - both work.
- Processed cheese gives the smoothest, creamiest result, but a sharp cheddar or parmesan works well too.
- Cream cheese is optional but highly recommended for extra richness and a silkier sauce.
