directions

  • Start your water boiling for macaroni, per product instructions, but omitting butter. I usually start with hot water and use a lid for the pot so the water boils faster.
  • Slice wieners in half lengthwise but keep the round shape together.
  • Now, cut them cross-wise into segments so that you end up with several evenly cut pieces per wiener.
  • By now your water should be boiling.
  • Add your macaroni and the wieners to the water.
  • Prepare the rest of the macaroni as usual, cooking for about 11-13 minutes, removing from heat and draining.
  • Add powdered cheese, Campbell's can of cheese soup (or Velveeta), and can of chili sauce.
  • You can add a can of diced tomatoes, plain or with green chili's if your kids like a little zing in their food.
  • That's the way we like it.
  • Mix well and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've lived in several states, and they have all added a bit of "flavor" to my culinary preferences. I love comfort food and as I've aged, I seek ways to make old favorites more healthy. For me, healthy is defined by what we have learned about gut health over the years. I no longer cook the way I used to, but I still crave those old favorites. It's quite likely that something I posted here more than a decade ago is no longer made in my kitchen, or has been greatly altered to fit our new model. I appreciate it when people take the time to post great recipes because the internet is so much quicker and convenient to use than my stash of cookbooks, cherished as they are. I also appreciate reading reviews that people post, providing they are actually helpful. I just don't understand rudeness, competitiveness and the like and wish people didn't feel the need to inject negative attitudes into all the positive. I feel a site like this one can help many people and it's a great way to collaborate and share treasures in our kitchens. I'm glad to have access and to be a part of the community.
