One Pot Mac & Cheese

This is really not that much more difficult than making Kraft Dinner but tastes WAY better. Plus it is only simple ingredients so you know exactly what you are getting. I usually make 1/4 of this recipe for the boys for lunch.

4 cups water
2 cups milk
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 lb. macaroni noodles (or other small pasta)
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup pureed cauliflour (optional)
In a large saucepan, mix water, milk, bouillon, and pasta. Bring to a boil and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until nearly all of the liquid is gone and the pasta is tender (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in cheese and cauliflour. Enjoy!
