Meals/Desserts in a Mug

Macaroni & Cheese in a mug

1/3 cup pasta
3/4 cup water cold
4 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch or aka corn flour
4 tablespoons cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper

In a large microwavable mug or large bowl add in the macaroni and the water. You need a large mug as the water will boil up. Microwave for roughly 3 1/2 minutes. You want the pasta to be fully cooked. Again based on a 1200 watt microwave oven. Pour off the remaining water. Stir in milk, cornstarch and shredded cheese and mic for a final 60 seconds to create your sauce. Stir well, season with salt and pepper and enjoy.

Breakfast Burrito in a mug

1 large 9 inch tortilla
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
salt and pepper
Garnish
salsa
sour cream

In a large microwaveable mug press in a fresh tortilla. It will naturally fold into shape of the mug and find its way. Crack your eggs and whisk up with a fork, taking care not to tear the tortilla. Now add in your favorite burrito mixins like cheese, beans, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper and mix together. Whatever ingredients you have on hand will work great. Microwave for 1 minute 20 seconds. Check, and if the eggs are still liquid, cook for another 15-20 seconds. Keep and eye during cooking so the eggs don't overheat. You don't want an egg-splosion in your mic. Cook time based on 1200 watt microwave. Once done, let it sit for 3 minutes to cool and serve with some sour cream and salsa on top. You could eat a bit out of the mug and then your able to pull it out of mug and roll it like a burrito.

Mug Pizza

 Serves: 1

Ingredients

4 tablespoons all purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
1/16 teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon marinara sauce
1 generous tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese
5 mini pepperoni
½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil or oregano will work)

Instructions
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a microwavable mug
Add in the milk and oil and mix together. There might be some lump but that is okay.

Spoon on the marinara sauce and spread it around the surface of the batter.

Sprinkle on the cheese, pepperoni and dried herbs.

Microwave for 1 minute 10-20 seconds, or until it rises up and the topping are bubbling (timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary). My microwave is only 1000 watts so my time will be just a tad more.
Enjoy straight away!

Notes
Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug. The mugs I use are small, roughly 6oz (¾ /1 cup)

Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t over flow or over cook.

⅛ teaspoon is simply a ½ of a ¼ teaspoon
1/16 teaspoon is simply a ¼ of a ¼ teaspoon
