Microwave Macaroni and Cheese
"A nice microwave alternative to baked macaroni and cheese. Vary the recipe by using farfalle, fusilli, or rotini pasta. You may add cooked chicken or tuna to this recipe for a more hearty meal." Original recipe yield: 4 servings.
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped onion
16 ounces cubed processed cheese food
3/4 cup milk
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot with boiling salted water cook the elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain.
In a 2 quart microwave safe covered casserole dish, saute the onions and butter or margarine on high for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the cooked and drained pasta, milk, and cubed cheese and stir. Cook for 11 to 12 minutes on high stirring at 4, 8, and 11 minutes. The mixture will still be runny at this stage. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Let stand for 5-8 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken upon standing.
