Where has the summer gone!? Has it really been over a month since I last posted a recipe. Hopefully, I will be better now that I am back home from vacation and trying to get back to a schedule. I have been busy cooking (and taking pictures). I just need to write about all this food! Which is not as much fun as cooking as far as I am concerned.
I got this recipe from my friend Susan... who got from a friends' mom or friend's friends' mom...or something like that. I have made this a ton since first having it! It is the perfect "go to" recipe when I have to bring a big dish for a gathering. What I love about this recipe is that it calls for a mere 3 ingredients! & it can feed a lot of people! Plus you bake it, so there is no standing over the stove top.
Okay three ingredients plus salt and pepper.
1 lb. of macaroni - a box and kind doesn't matter
1 lb. of sharp cheddar cheese - about 2 cups or more
2 cups of milk or more
salt and pepper
Cook the pasta until it is al dente (almost done). Then layer pasta with cheese, add salt and pepper to each layer. Be sure to put some cheese on the bottom of the pan. Pour milk just till you can see it down the side of the dish, 9"x13", about 2 cups. Bake on 375 for 30-40 minutes until top is crispy and cheese/milk are bubbling up the sides.
Also recipe can be made more healthy or gourmet by adding broccoli, peas, ham, bacon or different cheese; like swiss, provolone, parmesan or combination.
