Our favorite boxed Macaroni and Cheese manufacturer removed the microwave instructions from the box. That's okay, we already perfected it anyway - No straining required.
Put the water into a large microwave safe bowl, usually glass or ceramic is safest.
Add the dried macaroni and butter. Microwave for 5 minutes on high. (1000W models)
Be careful handling the bowl and its ingredients - they'll be hot!
Stir the macaroni in the water, breaking up any clumps.
Put the bowl back into the microwave for another 5 minutes on high. (1000W models)
Be careful handling the bowl and its ingredients. Stir in the flavor packet and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add half of the milk and mix in thoroughly. Add the remaining milk as needed until the cheese sauce is creamy with no lumps.
