Mac and cheese for one is quick and easy to prepare. Once you try this homemade mac and cheese, you'll never want the boxed stuff again. I cook mine in a soup crock.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons uncooked macaroni pasta

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 pinch pepper

  • ⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground mustard

  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 dash hot sauce

  • 1 teaspoon bread crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an oven-proof soup crock or 1-cup baking dish.

  2. Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Melt butter in the same pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in milk, flour, salt, onion powder, and pepper until smooth. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in 1/3 cup Cheddar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

  4. Stir in cooked macaroni until coated, then transfer to the prepared dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon Cheddar.

  5. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until macaroni is heated through and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
