Introduction
A quick, creamy, and indulgent single-serving macaroni and cheese made entirely in a mug using the microwave. Perfect for satisfying a fast comfort food craving without the hassle of boiling pots.
Step 1
Measure 1/2 cup of elbow macaroni and place it into an extra-large mug (12 to 16 oz) or a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 2
Add 1/2 Tbsp of butter, 3/4 cup of water, and seasonings of your choice (seasoning salt, onion powder, and paprika) to the mug.
Step 3
Microwave on high for 2 minutes to begin cooking the pasta.
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot mug, stir the macaroni well to prevent sticking, and return it to the microwave.
Step 5
Microwave on high for an additional 2 minutes until the pasta is fully cooked.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always use an oversized mug (at least 12 to 16 oz) or a bowl, as the starchy water will boil and bubble up in the microwave.
Do not drain the remaining liquid after cooking the pasta; the starch in the water helps bind the cheese and cream into a smooth sauce.
Mild cheddar cheese melts smoother and creamier compared to extra sharp cheddar.
