This One-Pot Broccoli Mac and Cheese is a quick and easy weeknight dinner! Creamy, cheesy, and packed with broccoli, it’s a comforting meal that’s ready in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine macaroni, vegetable broth, milk, and butter.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Stir in cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and pepper until cheese is melted and smooth.
  4. Add broccoli florets and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  5. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra creamy mac and cheese, add a tablespoon of cream cheese along with the cheddar and mozzarella. You can also top with breadcrumbs and bake for a golden crust.
