- Add the macaroni and stir until mixed, simmer for 30 minutes or until the macaroni is cooked. Then remove the bay leaves.

Notes
Minced pork will run 116 Baht/kilo (Beef more, chicken will be less), The Cheddar cheese will run about 180 Baht/200 gram block, this will make 2 cups of shredded. The Mozzarella will run about 70 Baht to make one cup of shredded. This comes to about $1.35 per serving for 8 servings. Good price for a good meal.
