quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Baked macaroni and cheese serves 4.

Save the leftovers for a nuke it no brainer meal some other day.

Talk about quick and easy! I’ve often added shredded chicken or cubed ham or bacon cooked crisp and broken up or shrimp and/or broccoli cut in small pieces or peas or diced onion, etc., etc.


1 cup elbow macaroni
1/4 cup milk
1 (20 ounce) package frozen macaroni and cheese
ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven broiler. Grease a 1 1/2 quart microwave safe casserole dish.
Bring about 2-3 quarts water to a boil. Dash of salt. Add elbows and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Microwave frozen mac and cheese according to package directions.
Stir together macaroni, mac and cheese, milk and pepper in prepared dish. Mix well. Flatten out, Microwave on high 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir it about halfway thru the nuke process. It will be hot onthe outside and not on the inside if you don't. sprinkle with the cheeses and place under oven broiler. Broil until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 5 minutes.

Serve it up!!! With some salad maybe and some red wine!
