In order to prepare this recipe, you will need a box of Kraft.™ brand “EasyMac™ Original Macaroni and Cheese Dinner” and the Progressive International Corp™ “Meals in Minutes Microwave 6 Cup Rice Cooker Set,” (http://www.progressiveintl.com). I purchased mine at Walmart™ for $5.96. I found it on the shelf above the microwave ovens.
(Makes 1 to 2 servings)
1. Put 2 pouches of EasyMac™ Original macaroni into the rice cooker.
2. Add 1 cup of hot or cold water.
3. Microwave on high for 2½ minutes¹ for hot water, 3 minutes¹ for cold. (Ignore the instructions on the box which say, “4½ to 5 minutes.”)
4. Transfer the cooked macaroni including all of the remaining water (do not drain) into a bowl. (This optional step is to avoid staining the plastic rice cooker when the cheese and spices are added. I use a 20 oz. disposable bowl² for this purpose.)
5. Add the 2 pouches of EasyMac™ Original cheese sauce.
6. Mix (using a disposable plastic spoon² which will later be used for eating).
7. Add salt to taste. (optional)
8. Add black pepper to taste. (optional)
9. Add spices such as “Italian spice,” basil, oregano, crushed red pepper, sage, rosemary, thyme, bay, and/or marjoram, to taste. (optional)
10. Add a handful of cashew halves and pieces. (optional)
11. Add a few glugs of extra virgin olive oil, or, better yet, 2 tablespoons (¼ stick) of melted butter. (optional)
12. If any of the optional ingredients were added, mix again.
13. Serve while still warm.
¹ The exact time will vary from one microwave oven to another, so you may have to experiment a bit until you get it right.
² At Walmart™, I’ve purchased Hefty™ brand 20 oz. foam bowls in packages of 30 for US$2.07 and Diamond™ brand plastic spoons in packages of 48 for US$0.96.
