Caroline says that everybody loves a good cheesy dish. Mac and Cheese enjoys the same popularity as French Fries. She is right, I too love cheese and macaroni. I was to her that in CANADA we have the macaroni pasta as long as a spaghetti pasta. She looked at me with strange eyes but once she saw it she believed it!! I must admit, she is an expert at making it and every time she does I am running over to delight it... Here is her secret recipe... Carline and I have many points in common. We love to wear dresses, we love macaroni and we love...HA! That is our secret!

Carolyn's Easy Cheesy Macaroni & Cheese image

This is a recipe my sister and I have followed forever. It is easily doubled for a crowd buffet and can be put in a crockpot to keep warm after preparing (I would not leave in the crockpot for more than 2 hours). There are alot of Mac & Cheese recipes on Zaar, but this is the one we like.

12 ounces Velveeta cheese
1/2 cup milk
pepper

Steps:

  • When the cheese starts to melt add the milk and stir to combine until smooth.
  • Drain the macaroni and add to the cheese mixture.
  • Pepper can be used at the table, but I would not use too much if a child is eating this.
  • If putting in a crockpot to keep warm, you might need to add a little milk to it right before serving. Just use your judgement and how your family likes their Mac & Cheese.

MACARONI & CHEESE - EASY AND CHEESY



Macaroni & Cheese - Easy and Cheesy image

If you are among the many who can't seem to get the hang of making a roux for a bechamel sauce, then this is the Mac & Cheese recipe for you. Couldn't be easier, and just as good as the old standby method. I have made a few alterations to the ingredients, but the method is the same. I believe it came from Southern Living, but I can never be sure :). Note: I use Old Cheddar. Sharp would work well also.

SIMPLE MACARONI AND CHEESE

A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.
