dohn_joeb: why not just use a bowl?
fish98: Does it make me old when all I think about is the annoying chore of cleaning up the cheese sticking on the inside of the cup afterwards?
mrchief177: No butter?! Get out of here.
allurmemesrbelong2me: Do turntables in Australian microwaves spin the other way?
Darklyte: But what if I want to make it on the grill?
axel4401: Let me get this straight… You want me to have fresh chives in my microwave Mac and Cheese? If I’m making microwave Mac, why in the hell would fresh chives be available. Much less paprika and mustard powder.
shiryeon: that mug handle’s gotta be burning hot tho
ebol4anthr4x: > BLACK PEPPER
> the dust from a single black peppercorn falls onto a noodle
DRHdez: Greg using a microwave, you ok buddy?
darthfrank: How much milk is a splash of milk?
WayBig3: I tried this, and the pasta was nowhere near cooked. No comparison to actually cooking Mac n Cheese the right way.
nightwanker69: Those couple of macaronis that fell out are going to haunt me today.
whenimmadrinkin: That is honestly a much better recipe than I expected. Not a bad option for a college student. Would definitely be a more impressive snack for that chick you brought over for a “study” session.
Cryingbabylady: One of the first things I ever learned to make was microwaved mac and cheese. My older brother taught me when I was like 5 and my parents were out. I specifically remember always making it in the same bowl because that’s the one he taught me to make it in, and I didn’t know it could be made in any other bowl.
I’m amazed I didn’t burn the house down as a kid because I started cooking for myself on the stove shortly thereafter. I very specifically remember taking homemade cinnamon rolls to school in 4th grade that I made 100% myself (it was more of a biscuit dough and not yeasted).
Man. Life when you like to cook and your mom’s a drunk.
yamfun: Not sure if parody or serious
Ki-Low: They sell microwavable mac & cheese. Why spend more money and time then needed?
bonsajamal: Imagine that someone out there actually lives like this.
guusligt: Who needs to speed up mac and cheese??
defendsRobots: Why is this in a cup?
Z0idberg_MD: So you want me to cut up fresh chives for my coffe-mug, mircrowave mac and cheese?
Albatross767: Why does every single GIF use paprika…. Its too much
redeyedwafflefrog: Tooooooo much paprika ouch
superamykins: One minor note with this – his microwave is a higher wattage than most microwaves. So it will probably take you longer than 5 minutes to cook. 🙁

jorkus_: Literally the worst recipe ever.
*Add fresh chives*
R/gifrecipes approved.
Zambenis: Looks great, Greg!
Yet again, the comments are full of people wanting to change this from a QUICK SNACK into a full-blown entree, which is just a different thing altogether.
Every time. Every recipe. Nobody can just take it how it is. This sub is insane
Serav1: But…. Half a cup of macaroni + half a cup of water + half a cup of cheese….. Should’ve made the cup overflow… What sorcery is this?
The_Freshmaker: I mean yeah but why not just take about 10 more minutes and make a big thing of it, then you can just easy heat the leftovers? Making this by the half cup would be torture.
yearightt: r/wewantplates
TMNT-32: Thats lazy af damn
Josh18293: This vs. stovetop mac (packet of yellow sludge), this wins everytime.
What I’d suggest though to help pull the cheese sauce together is melting butter, whisking in an equal amount of flour, then adding milk. This is the base of any good mac and can still be done in this context.
p1um5mu991er: Hmm. This might mean that I need to go out and get some paprika
Chickenterriyaki: It actually tastes good…thanks OP.
jbray241: Finally some real practical cooking that I might actually try
witchhunter80: Making a family sized version takes the same amount time 🙁
-MURS-: You can boil pasta like that?
unique-username-8: The mug is hot, Steven.
PumpkinPieIsTooSpicy: Fucking gross
SirDubbington: Boxed Mac and cheese only takes 8 minutes…
jjiggajouncer: Use a bowl. Needs a bit of salt.
zelliott7234: Honestly, I tried this and I have to say it was mediocre. The mix turned out good with the milk and cheese but the pasta was still not very soft even after absorbing the specified amount of water. You can achieve the same result by boiling it on the stove then mixing in the same ingredients, and the macaroni turns out much better imo
TripleOGeg: Cheddar cheese and macaroni is not macaroni cheese.
Tyranid457: Looks tasty!
mtmaloney: I’m yet to see a better “quick” mac & cheese recipe than Serious Eats’ 3-ingredient Mac & Cheese recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/01/3-ingredient-stovetop-mac-and-cheese-recipe.html
It’s a very quick, very simple recipe, you can scale it to whatever amount you want, you can adjust the amount of evaporated milk/cheese to change up the texture. And if you want you can add whatever spices you want, either what’s in the gif above or whatever you want.
I usually toss in a half tsp of salt. You can do a small amount of mozzarella if you have it and make it super stringy, mix some stuff in there, peas, sausage, or just leave it plain.
Anyway, I just like to try and avoid cooking meals in the microwave if it can be helped, especially when the stovetop version is just as easy.
GRW810: Wait, if there’s half a cup of macaroni and half a cup of water, why is the cup not full at that point?
Clearly I’m misunderstanding measurements. Or cups. Or macaroni and water. I dunno.
Armandoswag: Why is it posterized?
luminous86_: That one mug has been through so much
greengrasser11: If you’ve got all of these ingredients then you may as well make a whole pot. If you just want a small serving then buy easy mac. I just can’t see how practical it is to make a tiny serving.
ChurchOfPainal: Like pretty much everything posted here, this is terrible and not worth it at all.
