There are five gallon grain recipes that can be bought from the online homebrew stores. You might try going to five gallons, or splitting the recipe in half.

Northern Brewer / AIH have little 1 gallon and 2 gallon AG kits.
A 1g kit would be pretty easy to do stovetop in a little pot BIAB style which is how I believe those kits are meant to be used.
Also Brooklyn Brew Shop sells little 1 gallon starter kits.
They are expensive compared to a 5 gallon kit though.
Some 5 gallon kits come with all separate ingredients (MoreBeer), and some come pre-mixed (most other places). The pre-mixed kits, you might get inconsistent results trying to brew a half batch because who knows what is in the half bag you used.
If you decide you like it and want to go all in, I highly recommend you get something like a Mash & Boil or some other similar simple eBIAB thing. It will make your life much easier for full sized batches. They are a PITA stove top compared to something like one of those.

On a little different note, you could try some bigger extract kits and can learn about hop additions and steeping grains which is very close to mashing but a touch more forgiving and can play with different yeast that can totally change the way your beer taste . Just a thought on climbing the brewing ladder and can make great beer on the way up.

I second the electric system suggestion. It makes life *so* much easier. There are a lot of options available these days. I've got the mash and boil. I might choose the digimash today.
Who am I kidding? I'd cheap out and get the digiboil and use a paint bag.
But you'd probably be better to get something with the malt pipe.
