Macaroni & Cheese

Thursday, October 05, 2006

Today my son made a request for Macaroni & Cheese. I was only too happy to oblige since I had a new recipe I'd been meaning to try. What makes this stand out is not the simple execution of the recipe itself but rather, it came out of a cross-stitching magazine, namely; Cross Country Stitching.

I love it when my two hobbies meet.

As usual, I've tweaked the recipe to suit the size and taste of our family. This recipe serves 3 small eaters or 2 very hungry or greedy persons.

You need:

250g elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
300g of sharp cheddar, grated
150g of packaged pizza cheese, grated
A bit of milk
Paprika (optional)

You do:

Lightly grease a baking dish or bowl.
Alternate layers of macaroni and cheddar cheese until ingredients are used up.
Spread grated pizza cheese over the last layer.
Pour a bit of milk, about 1/3 cup, all over mixture, sprinkle paprika if using.
Bake in preheated oven at 180C until cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Serve hot as a side dish.

Lekker!

Hi Joyce

Enjoy looking at the food you whipped up for your family. My daughter loves mac and cheese; going to try out this recipe - it looks simple enough.

Pizza cheese = mozarella cheese?

Agnes, do try this. It also keeps overnight in the fridge. Just zap it in the microwave before serving.
