I made this delicious macaroni and cheese last night for dinner – it was so easy, with hardly any ingredients at all. I found the recipe in the January 2009 issue of Family Circle. Since I couldn’t find it online I decided to post the recipe here so that anyone else who wants to make it can, and so that I’ve got it in a “safe place” for the next time I decide to make it again.
The recipe below feeds 4 people and can easily be altered to feed more or less.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of pasta (any kind, macaroni or a shell pasta will work well)
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 4 ounces sliced American cheese, cut into small chunks
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Heat large pot of water to boiling. Add pasta and cook as directed according to package. Drain.
- Add milk to saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in American cheese, Cheddar cheese and salt. Whisk until melted and smooth.
- Return macaroni to pot with cheese sauce and stir to combine. Serve warm.
Each serving has 388 calories, 14 grams of fat (8 grams saturated), 18 grams of protein, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 379 mg of sodium and 36 mg of cholesterol
