Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables carrots, peas, corn, etc.
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large pan or skillet, add the elbow macaroni and milk.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the macaroni is tender and most of the milk is absorbed (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pan and stir to combine.
  4. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, then add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken before serving.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to use any type of cheese you prefer, or mix different cheeses for extra flavor! This dish can easily be customized with your favorite veggies. Fresh or leftover cooked vegetables work great too!
