Mmm..macaroni and Cheese

"This recipe is THE ONE if you're looking for something traditional, but full of flavor. My mother-in-law shared this with me. It's super easy and oh, so filling. I always use the generic brands also, so it's inexpensive without losing any taste or confidence!"

directions

  • Cook all the pasta until slightly underdone. You will be baking this dish and don't want mush noodles.
  • Drain any water from the noodles and return them to the warm pot.
  • Immediately add the cheese and soup.
  • Stir until melted.
  • Add milk until the consistency is just soupy enough to maintain moisture through the baking process. This is a personal preference, but I like my mac n cheese to be hearty, not soupy.
  • At this point, you may add the pepper and hot sauce, if you'd like. I find this adds only flavor and no heat, but if you are very sensitive, please opt out of that.
  • Pour all of your mixture into a glass or pyrex dish, about 9x13.
  • Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes or until the crispy top is at your liking.
  • Please leave feedback. We'd love to know what you think!
  • Enjoy.
