Directions

Prepare the One-Pot Mac ‘n Cheese

  1. Place the pasta, water, milk, butter, salt, and mustard into a large pot. Cover the pot and bring to a boil on high heat.

  2. Uncover, lower to a simmer and mix.

  3. Cover the pot and continue cooking for 10 minutes.

  4. Uncover and mix again. If the noodles aren’t soft to your liking, cover the pot and allow to cook till noodles are softer, just a few minutes.

  5. Once noodles are soft enough, turn off the flame.

  6. Mix in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese.

  7. Cover once more and let sit to melt for a few minutes.

  8. Uncover and mix again.

Notes:
Pasta is best enjoyed fresh. Reheat in the microwave, or if reheating on the stove add half a cup of milk or water and reheat on medium heat.

this was delicious and really easy. at first it seemed liquidy but after I let it sit for a little bit it thickened up. I would recommend to let sit and then warm before serving for best results. flavor profile is plain but nice. great for kids
