  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces elbow macaroni
– 2 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

Creating One Pot Veggie Mac and Cheese is quite simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the elbow macaroni, vegetable broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
2. Add Vegetables: Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and frozen peas to the pot, making sure they’re evenly dispersed.
3. Bring to a Boil: Turn the heat to medium-high, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low.
4. Simmer: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The pasta should be tender and most of the liquid should be absorbed.
5. Add Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked and the mixture is creamy, remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mac and cheese, adjusting the seasonings as necessary.
7. Serve: Serve hot, and enjoy the creamy goodness of your One Pot Veggie Mac and Cheese!

These steps will guide you seamlessly in creating this delightful meal with minimal effort.
