59K Shares A quick recipe for mac and cheese for one. Easy, cheesy, and oh so good. Looking for more cheesy small-batch recipes?

Hey guys, before we get to the recipe today, are you I’ve been having fun using their new stories feature, so if you want to see me testing recipes (get an early preview!) and lots of videos/pictures of, come be my friend over there! And now on to the recipe Oh cheesy pasta,. Is it lunch time? Is it dinner time? Are you starving? Do you need a mac and cheese fix? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you: Mac and Cheese for one.

This homemade macaroni and cheese is just as quick as the kind that comes out of a box, is one thousand times more delicious, and won’t leave you with a mass of gross congealed leftovers. (Seriously, have you ever tried to reheat leftover boxed mac and cheese? It’s not pretty and neither is food waste!) I grew up in a boxed mac and cheese household, and just like when I learned how to make, when I discovered how easy homemade macaroni and cheese was to make, I had no idea why we hadn’t just been making it from scratch all along. It takes exactly the same amount of time, and if you keep a basic stocked kitchen, cheese and any sort of pasta in your house, YOU HAVE THE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS. The making process is dead simple, just boil some pasta, and while that cooks, stir together a little butter, a little flour, some milk, cheese, and whatever spices you feel like that day to make a creamy cheese sauce. In under 20 minutes, you’ll have rich cheesy mac and cheese for one, portion controlled and so good you could cry.

And if you are feeling extra hungry or want to make it for two or more, the recipe sizes up with just a slightly longer cooking time (see doubling notes). Bonus: I love how quick and easy this dish is, but if you want to give it a little upgrade, scroll to the bottom of the recipe for upgrade suggestions (#2 is my favorite!) Don’t believe me about how quick and easy this recipe is to make?

Check out the recipe video and see for yourself! Recipe Notes.You can use whatever pasta/mix of melty cheeses you would like. When I have it on hand, a bit of Pecorino Romano mixed in is my FAV. Doubling notes: No changes when doubling, except sauce will take a minute or two longer to thicken once the milk is added.

“Upgrade” 0: 1/2 cooked hot dog + ketchup. You know what to do with them. (I do not approve of or endorse this upgrade, but everyone I know insists it’s delicious. 😉 ) Upgrade 1: 1/2 cup sliced smoked sausage browned in a skillet over medium high-heat. Transfer sausage slices to a paper towel-lined plate, and blot gently before stirring into your prepared macaroni and cheese. Upgrade 2: Generously butter both sides of a slice of white bread and use a serrated knife to slice into 1-inch cubes. Pour your cooked mac and cheese into an oven-safe dish and sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the top, followed by the bread pieces. Bake at 375°F for 5 to 10 minutes until bread is toasty.

I’ve made this twice so far. First time was just kinda meh (I used sharp cheddar which turned out REALLY sharp, also I don’t think I whisked the flour/butter/milk mixture for long enough):p ), but I made it again tonight with medium cheddar and a little more milk (about 2/3 cup maybe?), also I didn’t bother to measure the cheese so I probably added more of that as well (“is that a half cup? Eh, a little more”), but it turned out SO freaking good the second time. I was basically shoveling it into my food hole lol.
