College students love Easy Mac. This fact is irrefutable. It’s easy to make, can be cooked in under five minutes and it’s delicious. It’s the perfect meal for a student who doesn’t have access to anything other than a microwave, needs something to eat but has class in 20 minutes, or is simply too lazy to leave his or her room and venture to the dining hall. It’s easy to get bored of the same old Easy Mac, so here are some simple ideas for how to make it a little less basic.

Taco: And add some ground beef, lettuce, diced tomato and hot sauce. Pieces of broken up tortilla chip can also be added for a little extra crunch. Add shredded cheddar cheese when the mac is still hot so that it can get melty and delicious. It’s a fiesta in your mouth!
Tuna Melt: Make a bowl of Easy Mac and add canned tuna, chopped celery and onions and cheese (any type of cheese that you prefer will do, but I’ve found that Swiss works particularly well with this recipe). Bread crumbs also go well with this dish.
Combine any ingredients from the list above to make your own mac-tastic creations. It’s all about being creative.
