How to Make the Easiest Macaroni & Cheese

Mac & Cheese is extremely popular with kids. And there are some adults who secretly love to indulge in this classic favorite too! I developed this recipe when I found myself dealing with a hungry toddler who didn't really want to wait!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Serves 1 toddler
• A handful of pasta
• 1/2 cup water
• A pat of butter (or 1 tsp oil)
• Any type of cheese (slice, wedge, shredded)
• Bouillon cube (optional)
• Salt, if desired

1. 
    
   Pasta in pot

   Place a handful of pasta into a small pot.

2. 
    

   Add water, butter/oil, and the bouillon cube. Add salt, if desired. Boil until the water dries up.

3. 
    

   Pour the pasta into your serving dish and add the cheese while it is still steaming. Stir until all the cheese melts.
   
   Your mac & cheese is ready!

Tips & Warnings

• If the pasta becomes cold, you can add the cheese and heat for a few seconds in the microwave.
• Bouillon cubes usually contain enough salt, so use caution when adding any extra salt. You could cook the pasta and sprinkle table salt later when eating, if needed.
