Ingredients
- 1 box Packaged macaroni and cheese
- 3 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter or margarine
Directions
Step 1
Pour the dry macaroni from the packaged box into a large, microwave-safe bowl.
Step 2
Add 3 cups of water to the bowl, ensuring that the macaroni is fully submerged.
Step 3
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 8 minutes, pausing every 2 minutes to stir and check the water level. If the water begins to evaporate before the macaroni is tender, add small amounts of water as necessary.
Step 4
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave once the macaroni is fully cooked and tender. Use oven mitts, as the bowl will be hot.
Step 5
Drain any excess water from the cooked macaroni using a colander or by carefully tilting the bowl.
Step 6
Return the cooked macaroni to the bowl and add the cheese powder from the package, 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, and 1/4 cup of milk.
Step 7
Stir thoroughly until the cheese powder is completely dissolved and the sauce is creamy and evenly coats the macaroni.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your microwaved macaroni and cheese!
