Mac and Cheese in a Mug
This Mac and Cheese in a Mug is one of my favorite ways to cook this childhood classic dish. You can use any small pasta for this but I always use my favorite macaroni! Make sure you use the largest microwave safe mug you can find for this recipe as it can bubble up while cooking.
Start by cooking macaroni in a mug of water. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the cooking water and stir in milk, cornstarch and cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute to cook and thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and enjoy!
To make Mac and Cheese in a Mug, you will need the following ingredients:

Normally you guys go a bit crazy on the spices but on this one you seemed to completely forget them..
Bland and sticky like glue recipe needs a touch-up but has potential.
Bowtie pasta works for this too if you wanted to make your dish look a little fancy, I'm making this for a huge amount of people so I went with bow and tripled the ingriedents for 4-5 people.
Perfect lunch to serve for your kid and quick and easy which is how a parent always wants it when it comes to making food the faster the better so you can nap!! Hahaha.
Finally a non-boxed mac and cheese recipe..

Lets just say there were no leftovers when I served this for dinner.
Bethany and her flavorful dishes, thanks for this one love I served it up for myself last night and eating it cold this morning!
Creative idea to put it in a mug but not enough space.
Go for parmesan cheese on the top if you want double.

My son is VERY satisfied with how this turned out he gobbled the whole thing up quickly and wanted seconds right after.
You guys should do more recipes like this the breakfast burrito mug was good too and i love small portions of food so please keep these ones coming!
Creamy and delicious mac and cheese..obsessed with the texture of it and even added a dash of hot sauce for a kick.
Loved it so much it taste really good and putting it in a cup makes it cute.
If you're lactose don't stress about the cheese and milk you can swap them both out for lactose free stuff and it'll still taste fantastic!
