We make this simple baked macaroni dish in less than an hour, and our whole family loves it! Pair with a side-vegetable or salad and you’ve made a delicious meal.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Elbow Macaroni Pasta (any pasta style will do!)
4 oz. Cream Cheese
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar
Salt & Pepper To Taste
¼ Cup Milk (we use 2%, rBGH-free)
1/2 Cup Bread crumbs
Procedure:
Boil Pasta in a large pot until soft. Drain.
Return Pasta to pot and mix in cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese is melted and blended.
Mix in half the shredded cheddar.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in milk.
Pour pasta mixture into a lightly greased casserole pan.
Spread the remaining cheddar on top of the pasta.
Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake for 30 minutes.
Tip: You can easily make your own bread crumbs by toasting a few slices of your favorite bread and running it through a box grater or food processor.
Change up the flavors by adding oregano or cilantro to the mix. Keep ketchup and hot sauce handy- they go great with this yumminess!
