I am the queen of butter and cholesterol today. It's a rainy, gloomy day here and just right for comfort food. What's better than homemade macaroni and cheese? Not much - except maybe homemade fudge - in my book, but I didn't have all the ingredients for fudge. So Aggie & I settled for oven-baked, mouth-watering macaroni and cheese. My husband would never eat it - the man was raised on Velveeta and Kraft singles. I would only make it when he was out of town. Now that he's permanently out of town, I can make it whenever I want. Well, maybe not that often. Here's the easy recipe:
1 pound elbow macaroni, prepared al dente
1 pound cheddar cheese, grated
1 stick butter
3-4 cups milk, depending on the depth of the baking pan
salt & fresh ground pepper
After you cook the macaroni, coat your casserole pan with cooking spray. Add the first layer of macaroni, cover with cheese and then lightly salt and pepper the layer. Put several pats of butter on top. Then add another layer of macaroni and repeat the cheese topping routine. Keep doing this until you run out of macaroni - oh, and save some cheese for the top. Pour milk into the casserole until it almost reaches the top. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. Remove from oven and let it rest for about ten minutes, if you can wait that long!
Enjoy! And remember to share!
That looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good!!!!! I will copy this recipe! I tell you what! I have sure come across some great recipes in my short time blogging! Those of my daughter, Amber, ranks right up there with them! It's funny about the BOX mac/cheese.....when Amber was growing up I would that occasionally. She loved it.....but she threw up afterwards EVERY single time! There is something in it that she is simply allergic to....even to this day! I'll have to make THIS for her when she come shome in August! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi! OMG, that Macaroni and Cheese looks sooo good. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by:) Can you glue the tiles on some kind of a flat metal piece that would have a way of attaching jump rings? I know alot of people do the foil tape around the sides and solder for a charm, but I have not ever done that. If you have a Joanns near you, they have a ton of books of jewelry desings, and the grocery and books stores have all of the jewelry magagazine. They are a great source of ideas. Ihope this helps a little? Keep me posted!
Have a great week! (()) gail
Sounds yummy. I'm going to give this a try too. What is it about men and macaroni & cheese? It was such a regular dinner for us when my daughter was growing up and her Dad was out of town. She asked me once, "Mom, why is it we have the good stuff when Dad is gone?"
