Ingredients

4 servings
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked)
  • 2 ½ -3 cups milk
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps

  1. In a saucepan combine a pinch of salt, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, butter and water. Bring to a boil.

  2. Add in macaroni noodles, reduce heat to low.

  3. Continue to simmer stirring frequently until noodles are cooked (about 20 minutes).

  4. Watch to make sure the liquid doesn’t completely evaporate. You can add extra milk ¼ cup at a time if the liquid is low.

  5. Once the pasta is cooked, ensure the noodles are not dry. They should be as moist as the photo above before adding cheese. Stir in cream cheese until melted.

  6. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese. Cover for 3 minutes.
