Ingredients- Macaroni: 1/2 rice bowl portion
- 3-Minute Meatballs: 1 serving (choose your favorite kind)
- Sliced Cheese: 2 slices (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to package directions, usually around 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the macaroni, reserving about half a cup of the pasta water. This starchy water will help create a smoother sauce later.
Step 2
In a skillet or pot, add the drained macaroni and the 3-Minute Meatball. Gently break apart the meatballs with a spoon or spatula. If the mixture seems a little dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to moisten it. Stir everything together over medium-low heat.
Step 3
As the meatballs begin to heat through and their sauce starts to meld with the macaroni (about 1-2 minutes), it’s time for the cheese. Place the two slices of cheese on top of the macaroni and meatball mixture. Allow the residual heat to start melting the cheese.
Step 4
Continue to stir gently, allowing the melting cheese to coat the macaroni and meatballs. The cheese will create a creamy, binding sauce that brings all the flavors together beautifully. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and well incorporated.
Step 5
And just like that, your incredibly simple and delicious Macaroni and Meatball meal is ready! Serve immediately and enjoy this satisfying dish that’s perfect for a quick lunch or a speedy dinner. It’s a delightful meal that proves you don’t need a lot of time to make something truly tasty.
