Easy Macaroni Cheese {One Pan}
THIS is the EASIEST Macaroni Cheese recipe EVER! So easy, quick and straightforward to cook, with maximum flavour and satisfaction in about 20 minutes.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
To cook the pasta:
- 500 g Dry macaroni
- 1 litre Water
- 400 ml Milk
- 2 tsp Onion granules
- 1 tsp Mustard
- Salt and pepper
To finish:
- 200 g Gruyere Grated
- 250 g Mature cheddar Grated
- 150 ml Single cream
To garnish (optional):
- Crispy fried bacon pieces, chopped fresh chives, freshly ground black pepper or crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Put the first ingredients in a pan together, put the lid on and cook on medium-low for about 10-13 minutes stirring often until pasta is just cooked. (If your water/milk is absorbed already and pasta not cooked, add a splash more).
- When it's cooked, turn heat to low, stir in the rest of the ingredients in and mix everything together until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve immediately (I like to garnish with chopped chives or crispy pieces of bacon).
Notes
Non-stick: Make sure you use a non-stick pan and stir often to make sure this doesn't stick.
Cheese: Add more cheese if you want to and feel free to use up odds and ends of cheese in this too.
Sauce: You can add more hot milk and/or cheese and stir well to create more ‘sauce’.
