Take 1 cup elbow macaroni, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons cream cheese.
Place 1/2 cup of elbow macaroni in a microwave-safe bowl.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bowl, ensuring the pasta is submerged.
Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through, until pasta is soft, and water is mostly absorbed.
Stir in 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and 2 tablespoons of milk into the cooked pasta.
Microwave for another 30-60 seconds until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.
Stir, add salt and prepare to taste, and enjoy your quick, cheesy mac and cheese.
