    10 Minute Mac & Cheese

    June 11, 2021 by ohsobusymum 3 Comments

    This mac & cheese is my go-to recipe that the whole family loves and it's super easy to make! You can make this Mac & Cheese in around 10 minutes with little effort and it doesn't matter if you aren't spot on with the ingredients, this recipe will always work out. I like to serve it with crumbed chicken or chicken strips. My kids take leftover to school in a thermos for school lunches.

    Ingredients you will need

    • Macaroni pasta
    • Butter
    • Plain flour
    • Cream
    • Milk
    • Garlic powder
    • Onion Powder
    • Chicken vegeta
    • Grated Cheese

    • 2 cups macaroni pasta
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 1 tablespoon plain flour
    • 1 cup cream
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder

    Instructions
     

    • Boil macaroni pasta in a pot and while cooking follow the below steps.
    • In a saucepan simmer 2 tablespoons of butter on medium heat.
    • Once the butter starts to simmer (bubble), add 1 heaped tablespoon of plain flour and mix with a whisk for 30 seconds.
    • Add 1 cup cream and 1 cup of milk
    • Whisk until it starts to thicken
    • Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and onion powder
    • Add 1 tablespoon chicken vegeta

    • Add 1 cup grated cheese and whisk. Allow thickening again for a few minutes.
    • Pour cheese sauce over pasta and serve.

    Notes

    This macaroni is best eaten fresh! It can be stored in the fridge for 2 days, but the macaroni will soak up a bit of sauce and it won't be as creamy.
