Recipe: College Student's Easy Mac and Cheese

Looking for an easy, one-pot, on-a-budget mac and cheese? Try this!

Ingredients: 
  • Dry Pasta - I prefer shells (2 cups, about 1/2 of a 1 pound bag/box) 
  • 1-1.5 tablespoons butter
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheese - I prefer medium cheddar
  • 1+ tablespoon Milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper


Directions:
  1. Bring water in a pot to a boil on the stove. (How much water? Fill a medium pot half way.)
  2. Add pasta.
  3. Keep stove on high and allow to boil for 5-6 minutes. Turn heat down if it starts to boil over. 
  4. Drain. Return to pot. Keep stove on low.
  5. Stir butter, cheese, and milk into the drained noodles. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for taste. 
  6. If needed, continue adding milk or cheese in small quantities until a desired thickness and color is reached.
  7. Enjoy!
