Saucy Macaroni and Cheese

"My Ma always made this homemade mac-n-cheese when I was growing up. A bit more nutritious for you then the boxed type. A real comfort food! I love the flavor. I always double this recipe because we love the leftovers! Hope you do too! Try different shapes of pasta for fun!"

  1. This recipe reminds me of my moms' recipe too, though I remember Mom using several different types of cheeses. It was a hit with the 12 yr old, and just passable for the three yr old. Next time I may try using extra sharp cheddar, as well as american, and maybe a smoked cheese with a little ham-for my husband the carnivore- but this is one I'll make again. 1BizyMom.
     
  2. I made this recipe for my daughters 3rd grade class project. I had to make enough for 40 people so I just tripled all ingrediants. It was delicious. I only used sharp cheese but next time I will use extra sharp and some cheddar. I added ham to the leftovers and it was even better.Just add ham,put in oven at 350 for 25 min.

Hi! My husband, four children and I live in NY. I think my love of cooking and eating?is in my blood. My Grandma (who was 100% Norweigan) was a wonderful cook and my mom & sisters are as well. I really enjoy baking the most. If I had some time off I would bake and look for more new recipes to try!
