Grandma's Macaroni and Cheese
"This mac and cheese was made by my Grandma, mother, me and my children. It was my favorite growing up and now my youngest daughter's. Recently she (13 years old) asked if we were having mac n cheese for dinner. I asked why. She said because the white casserole dish was out. She then went on to request that she get the casserole dish when I die - not because of its value - because of her fondness for her Grandma's Mac n cheese. Sounds a little boring, but not. My husband likes to top his with a little Tabasco. My mother insisted on using Creamettes brand of macaroni."

This was a fabulous recipe, just tried it tonight. I have used mac and cheese with tomato juice and it was great, but this was even better. Not a bit boring on taste, just qucik and easy to make! -
Should be 3 and 1/2 stars. This was yummy comfort food and as simple as it gets. I halved it and I think you could use less juice. Undercook the mac a little so it doesn't get mushy.

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home.
Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
