Oof
2025?

I will try it right now and I’ll update you on how it was
Update: Ok so it was good but it tasted a little bland, I added some butter and it was better but it would’ve been better to put it on the milk I think. I also recommend boiling the pasta on water for a little while and then on the milk bc it was kinda hard when I boiled it on milk.
Update again: I made it again for my mom with the butter on the milk and pasta boiled in water and it was BOMB
How much butter?
I want to try this haha
About half a spoon
@@mariagabrielachevalier6031 thanks
put butter first then milk? plz reply now lol, I want to make this can you please explain the steps that you did?
I JUST TRIED IT AND IT'S TASTY. I read a comment saying that i should boil it in water first for about 5 to 7 minutes and then boiling it with milk and adding 1 tbsp of butter. It worked. I love butter so i added 2 tbsp of butter instead of one. And i only had mozzarella cheese at home so i used it instead of cheddar cheese.
TRY IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Going to make it 2morrow. Will give feedback after lunch...😁
NEXT DAY: Did it for lunch. The garden guy, hubby and I as well as our 2 fur-babies absolutely loved it. I put cheddar as well as mozzarella cheese and also some bacon and some butter. It really was to-die-for. I also added a little minced garlic and Italian Herbs....and oh yes, some pasta spice instead of salt.

@Swank Ya Dank Highlights what about mild cheddar cheese?
🤔🧀🤔🧀🤔🧀
I cooked this, and I got some weird looks from my family members after they saw me putting a liter of milk and boiling it. Only to come back moments later wanting to get a taste of the mac and cheese I made. Thanks for the recipe! It's very delicious!
my family will look like i killed someone to be honest if i do this
Did you boil 4 or 5 cups of milk? Did you follow the exact recipe? Thank you if you can reply. 😄
Will any cheese work ?
@@Navjotkaur-oh2fg gauda, mozzarella cheese that can easily melt will work just will taste a bit different
Nah me and my mom in the kitchen rn watching this video and making it together
I made this right now in like 15 minutes. It was great! I added cooked ground beef for protein. I didn’t have cheddar so i used Monterrey and colby. And i added for seasonings and made it spicy. It was really good and super easy 👍🏻
Ik it's alot later 😂 but what spices did u add?
So if you're not too lazy and want this to be a little better I recommend you do this:
1. Boil the pasta in lightly salted water for half the time it says on the package (until the pasta is al dente = still a bit raw inside), also that way you can reduce the amount of milk you need by almost half in case you don't have that much
2. Add some butter to the milk (about 1-2 tbsp), it'll make the sauce creamier and richer OR you can replace the butter and a portion of the milk with heavy cream - it's gonna make THE WORLD of a difference
3. Don't be afraid to season and taste while cooking (be careful though, it's HOT!)
And you can replace the cheddar with any other cheese that melts well (e.g. gouda, dry mozzarella, emmentaler), but be warned that it's gonna taste a bit different and it won't have that beautiful orange-y look, but food is food, right? ;)
Edit: if you're using a mild cheese/don't have sharp cheddar, you can add 1/4 tsp of mustard powder, it gives the dish that "kick"
thank you so much!!
Oho thank u very detailed
thank you so much, i was worried it was gonna taste bad with different cheese
What if we dont have paprika can we change it ?
@@PlushiePanda of course, it's mainly there to give the dish some colour you can leave it out if you don't have it, or better yet - replace it with a bit of mustard powder :)
For ppl like me, who just wants one serving i gotchu
I divided it into 1/4 which is probably enough for a person
Grate half a cup of cheese
1 cup of milk
85 grams of pasta/ 3/4 cup
Obviously season it to watever u like
EDIT: I recommend you add more milk and more cheese cuz when i made mine, there aas so little milk but the pasta hasnt cooked yet so either add more milk or add milk at different times which was what i dod. Also add more cheese. Cuz its *CHEESE*
You’re welcome everyone! Didn’t know many people would be liek me and only cook for one lmao
Thanks! God bless you
Thank goodness finally a good 1 person recipe
I appreciate u
Thank you
Thank you! Helps so much!♡︎
I made it - I'm a terrible cook so this was such a great easy straight forward one to follow thankyou 😊
This is absolutely amazing!I tried it and I give it a 5 star rating. Absolutely delicious
Thanks now I'm definitely gonna go and make it

SK ENTERTAINMENT same :))
so howd it turn out
🎶I second that emotion😋.
My hudsband is american and i’m korean. I’ve never eaten and made mac n cheese before. But i’m trying to make this for him today. Wish me luck✌🏻
And did he like it ?
@@anna_1619 yea he loved it! :)
Very sweet of you❤
What have I been missing?! This is delicious, and I’ve tried and tried with butter and flour and different kinds of cheeses as various temperatures… boiling and then baking…
It really is this simple to get the *perfect* sauce texture
You can just boil it in water microwave butter for 5-10 secs put your macaroni in a bowl put the butter and cheese of your choice ontop microwave for 10-25 minutes mix then don't wait for it to be cold because dry cheese tastes disgusting screen shot this if u wanna do it.it worked for me
Going to make it right away.
Edit: they were effortlessly good. I mean with this little effort, its worth a late night munch. Thanks!❤️
Mac and cheese never betrays. It's the delicious taste that everyone knows hehe😍👍
This recipe is so bad I tried it twice and it is very bad u wasted alot of food on this and this was so bad I prefer anyone to not try this bad recipe
I never ate Mac & cheese
Maja Cichowlaz it’s 2020 try it trust me it’s good
Karim Elnazir do it without the paprika just salt and pepper
Cooking it rn! Hope to see wit I rate it
Thank you so much for using metric system as well! Most recipes use imperial only so this is much easier for people from the rest of the world to make!
I absolutely love this recipe ❤️ making delicious Mac and cheese with least calories. No butter and no flour and no mess. Such a great recipe for busy parents out there . Thank you !!
@@MAKIUSO cheese isn’t very healthy lol
This looks so good, I really can’t wait to make this.
[Update: I made the recipe for dinner today, and it tasted absolutely amazing, 10/10 would make again]
Will any cheese work ?
@@Navjotkaur-oh2fg yea, pretty much
@@Navjotkaur-oh2fg it’ll just taste different
I love mac and cheese
Guys it’s amazing!!! I just boiled most my pasta In water and used double cream instead but ughhh never knew it was so simple
the milk always took FOREVER to boil when i would make this recipe, so i tried to pre-boil the noodles and then place them in the milk. let me just say, bite the bullet and take extra time to boil the pasta in the milk! it’s much less bland and is worth the extra ~10 minutes
That recipe is absolutely delicious. What I love to do is add a bunch of bacon cubes with a lot of seasoning. Then just add them when your Mac n Cheese is done. Really fits to it imo!
Saved this last year. But trying this year for the first time. My daughter chose this dish to be our NYE staple dish every year 🥰🥳🙌🏻😎🙏❤️ HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. I HOPE 2024 IS YOUR BEST YEAR YET!! 🙌🏻🙏

I just made this! And holy macaroni! Its amazing. Best one I've made so far
ruclips.net/video/wtbcaWnybzs/видео.html
Holy macaroni...😂🤣😅
I’m making this for me my husband and my daughter right now … for the first time!! I will give an update soon 😊……. *UPDATE* it was DELICIOUS 🤤, it was soo delicious in fact that I’m making it AGAIN tonight for my family! a massive pot of it! ❤ thanks for sharing this simple yet awesome recipe
Ok guys so I tried this and it was truly delicious. when u are boiling the macaroni, add water because it will either not cook properly or it will be very creamy and just not that good. Add chicken powder as well so that it’s not bland. I did not have paprika so I used red chilli powder and it tasted fine. You should definitely try this recipe it’s super easy to make and delicious too.
I just made it & it was delicious!!💖💖
You can use heavy cream and add 2 tablespoons of butter for a richer outcome. I like to add some extra cheese on top with fried onions. Throw it in the oven on 350' for ten minutes and enjoy. This is a solid and easy recipe in the video, nice job!
Wow, this is ridiculously simple and delicious at the same time!! Thank you!!!

Thanks for helping am pregnant and have the craving for mac and cheese your RUclips channel helped a lot and I will definitely make mine.
I am home alone and this literally the easiest tutorial I founded. Wish me luck to not get the whole house burned down.
Update: I made it :D, it was so good
Just had this for our dinner tonight. Adapted it to b lactose free w/ almond milk, lactose free cream and also added extras: lactose free cream cheese, chopped up smoked ham and frozen peas. Hubby loved it!!
I love it. Because you cook the noodles in the milk there's already enough starch. You don't need to use flour to keep the cheese from separating and getting oily.
Did you make yours with noodles 🤣
Thank you so much. I can now cook for my mom, she is starving herself again. I can now cook for her.❤️
Delicious. I'm a novice cooker and even missed proper ingredients, but still managed to pull it off. I found it great to add some butter and oregano, really gives it a specific taste
Just made this and I added lawyers seasoning and a bit of butter it came out amazing! Thanks for sharing
i and my bf just after watching it, we went straight to kitchen and did it.. we add some sausages.. it's marvelous.. love it, thanks for this wonderful 12:30am supoer 😍😊👌😘
For anybody wondering, recipe was very good ！It tastes great 👍

im from turkey my family wont allow this but ill try i guess.
XD that would be a response from my granda im African too lol she dont know mac and cheese but my mom is cooking some right now
I made this, but replaced the cheese with tasty cheese and because I didn’t have macaroni, I used the shell shaped pasta, and it works really well!
I just made it for the first time I'd say as a first time it's was bomb
So good! I just made it and my family is in love with this! 🤩
I made it today and you MUST TRY! Thanks the cooking foodie!
came out great! never thought of just boiling it in the milk. my family came back for more!
who came to the comment to look at people reaction to see how delicious is the recipe
Tasted like ass. I just made it genuinely the worst I've ever had.
Sajida khaleel I agree!!! I made it today with ribs and mashed potatoes and I embarrassed myself with my husband! Now he thinks I don’t know how to make Mac and cheese
@@sajidakhaleel7562 i liked mine a lot, but i guess its cause ive never had mac n cheese

May the gods of cheese and comfort food BLESS YOU😆Really needed something easy and sloppy and cheesy , will get cookin'
Going to try this one.
Pasta on its own is not very good but add some cheese and its magical.
Thank you soooooo much 🙏💕
I made the food it was delicious my family liked it to💓
Made this with unsweetened soy milk and lactose-free cheddar cheese..i boiled the butter first with the milk before adding the pasta. At the end iy turned out so nyummy!
U cant boil butter
Duuuh😤😬
nyummy lolll
i also cook them like that. my parents (my dad, actually) thought of that and made me a pot of mac and cheese, i liked it!
My children ask everyday to make mac&cheese using this recipe 😅 love it!

Hi
a
Is the pasta already cook when put im milk? And can i use multipupose cream instead of milk?
Is it ok to use a powdered milk?
It has only 14 likes? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just made it and am eating it now, so delicious!
Yummy 😋
I tried it & it was SUPER!!! I really recommend this recipe if you wanna make mac & cheese easily😁😁
Me and my mom made this, it's pretty good, but saving it (like putting it in the fridge) might be a lil bit of a bad idea, because all of it became one like clump of frozen Mac n cheese, and my mom broke a spoon-thing trying to get it separated and into a bowl, but just add milk to it and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, and it'll be good as new.
Yay!! a recipe that uses only 1 cheese. so happy. I usually have mozzarella and cheddar. But only had cheddar this time around and couldn't find a single other recipe that uses just 1 cheese. it came out great. Will be staple in my house. thanks for posting.
I'll go try this now
Edit: it's sooo goood
ruclips.net/video/wtbcaWnybzs/видео.html
Just successfully made mine 😄 It tastes kinda bland tho. I'd recommend adding some butter for more flavor!
This is what we are here for !!!!!!!!!
just wanna ask if is it a fresh milk or evaporated? 😆
@@kayefretziejeanjimenez4085 Fresh milk!
so should i add more seasoning and cheese too?
Usefull Tips:
1) cook the pasta (1:17) until there is just a little milk left, NOT until there is nun.
2) Add a little cheese, stir it, taste it, then decide if it needs more cheese. Don't add to much for your taste or else it won't taste good
3) If you are thinking of making the half of this recipe:
a) Instead of using 500ml of milk use 550 - 650ml of milk just to cook the pasta a little more
b) Instead of using 100g of cheese use 50 - 70g. 100g is just a bit to over kill
Top tip: if u know what u want for dinner watch loads of delicious lookin vids abt the food ur having
I made this the other day, and it was surprisingly easy!! The milk burned the bottom of my pan though and I had to have my mom help me scrub it out. But, it was very very easy!!!:)
Oh my God it’s actually delicious I tasted it a lot and I hope I want to make more of this❤️
I always throw in a couple table spoons of saltless butter right after the cheese.gives it a nice glaze and doubles the aroma.❤😊
As an indian I just assumed it would taste bland... But u know what? It was surprisingly so delicious 😍😍 definitely gonna make it again!!! Once again great recipe keep it up👏👏
its 4 pm and i havent ate anything since i woke up and this is the first thing i wanna eat :)
guys i just tried it its reeeally delicious
what type of cheddar do you use?
Was pretty difficult to bake it in the milk but the result is incredible ,so delicious
I love making food , i need to try this
did u try it?
Ok so I saw this and it looked very delicious I'm gonna make it the exactly same way and will how it goes
Thank god someone on RUclips knows what the metric system is! Thank you.
Thank you so much for another easy recipe! Made it today and added some chilli flakes at the end! Tasted great just like all your other recipes I’ve followed :)
Will any cheese work?
Now I'm hungry😢time to make this! Thanks
Wish that everything you cook can just pop in my mouth
Looks delicious, thanks for sharing 🙂 always enjoy watching your videos.
Oh what a taste you are a great chef. I wish you will have a good future
Me reading the comments while trying out
I'm so excited to taste it
Made this and I loooove it!!
Here’s what I adjusted:
Boiled it in salted water until the pasta became slightly softer (not fully cooked) added about two cups of milk and then I put the pasta in (I eyeball everything) cheddar cheese (two hand fulls) butter (a thick slice) cooking cream ( about two tbs) salt pper paprika and garlic powder and done ✅
DONTS:
DONT overcook the sauce, I did my first try and it broke apart
DO’S:
DO add hot sauce bcz it tastes yummy
Best recipe for Mac n cheese I have ever come across. Thank you 😊
I tried it and I was really scared to since it was my first time ever making mac and cheese or tasting it. But honestly I was shocked at how it came out. It was pretty good. Just don't wait for it too cool too much b4 u eat it, and I made some sauce to go with it just too add more flavour☺️
I also added some butter to the milk
Best quick lunch ever! Thanks a bunch! My kid and I both loved it!
Omg absolutely amazing! I tried it and it was sooo delicious! 100 stars rating!
[BETTER UPGRADE]
1. Boil pasta with Water first then add it to the boiling milk!
2. After adding ur pasta to the milk add some butter!
I'm sorry if this is late but do put spice right after the butter or wait bit to put the spice
@@_What... before adding the pasta add the spice
This works great with almond milk as well, if anyone was wondering. :D
Am gonna try to make it today l just hope it will come out perfect thanks for your Vedio
This definitely worked for me. Make sure to boil your macaroni in the milk for 8-9 MINUTES if you want to avoid chewy macaroni!
I added lactose-free margarine, marble cheese, and lactose-free milk in mine, tastes great!
On what heat did you put it? My milk got burned 😅 Also do you just keep stirring till the milk is gone? Cause my milk was still in the pot after 12 min
Me not knowing how to cook : the heck is paprika
You see Nothing same 😂
@@buttercup.hunny. basically chili powder
Kang Xin not at all 😭😭😭
Well its basically pepper
It’s spiced powder
GREAT COOKING MUSIC!!!! I could hear it all day even without cooking!
I have a version for those who don’t have milk at the moment
2 to 4 cups of Water
1/2 to 3/4 cup of Macaroni noodles
Cheese of your choice (I use Monterey and Colby Jack. Use as much as you want.)
1/2 tbsp. Butter
Salt to taste (optional)
Pepper to taste (optional)
Bring water to a boil then add the noodles. While the noodles are cooking melt the butter in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds. Take the bowl out and let it sit while the noodles cook until tender. Be sure to check the tenderness of the noodles and stir occasionally. It is important to NOT walk away from the pot. When the noodles are done drain them and transfer them immediately to the microwave safe bowl with the melted butter. Add your preferred cheese in the amount you want. Add small amounts of salt and pepper to taste then stir. If cheese was not fully melted you may put it in the microwave far 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir again before eating.
Super delicious recipe. Definitely gonna give this a go. Looks absolutely scrummy 👍👍👍
