Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Combine macaroni and water
In a large microwave-safe mug or bowl, combine the elbow macaroni and water.
Microwave the macaroni
Microwave the macaroni and water on high power for 2-3 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked and the water is mostly absorbed. Stir once halfway through cooking.
Add the milk
Stir in the milk until combined.
Prepare the cheese
Grate the cheddar cheese.
Add the cheese and seasonings
Add the grated cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the mug or bowl. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Adjust the consistency
If the sauce is too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If the sauce is too thin, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
Serve the mac 'n' cheese
Serve the microwave 5-minute mac 'n' cheese immediately, garnished with additional black pepper, if desired.
