FAY'S ONE POT MACARONI AND MINCE
This is something I make. It is my own concoction. I add vegetables to this too sometimes but the meat is compulsory at my home. DH and DS love this. I omit the tomato too sometimes and make a dryish onion and garlic based dish which is also very good. The spices can be adjusted to suit your taste. Anything goes in this for me as I do not make the same recipe again without tweaking (very bad habit but cannot be helped I am like that only)so I am writing out of memory and what appeals to me right now. So feel free to

BEST ONE POT CHEESE AND MACARONI
This recipe uses less milk and no thickener what-so-ever! Very cheesy, too! You can either serve it from the pot, or top with buttered crumbs and put in 350 oven to brown for half an hour, but we like ours fine without.

Steps:
- Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.
