This has become a new staple at our house. It's so easy to make and only takes 3 things!
What you need:
- Cheese
- Cream
- Noodles
Cook up the noodles and drain them. I usually use elbow macaroni but if you have another kind of hand instead, just use that. The amount of noodles you make will depend on how much cream and cheese you will add. I usually make about 3/4 bag of noodles and I add around 1/4 c. cream and 1 1/2 c. cheese. Add in the cream and stir and then add in the cheese. I like to use a nice extra sharp cheddar(I use Tillamook Cheese). Stir in the cheese well, the hot noodles should melt it until it's nice and smooth. You may need to add a little salt for flavor. That's it! enjoy!

This sounds yummy, but could you be a little more specific about the amount of noodles and the type of cream. Do you use half and half or whipping?
Thanks,

It’s a very throw together type of recipe. I used about 12 ozs of pasta. And I use heavy cream.
Thanks, that gives me a clue.
this is the way I grew up eating mac n cheese. I also make it with spaghetti noodles and my oldest son and I love it..
I love this idea! I also do a throw together Mac and cheese!
I grew up with this one!
2 boxes GF elbows
2 Tb butter
8 cups cheese
1-2 cans diced tomatoes ( I prefer plain diced but have used seasoned)
How many depends on how much you and your family like tomatoes!
Cook noodles as directed on box.
Once noodles are cooked stir in 2 TB of Butter then layer noodles, cheese and tomatoes in a deep casserole dish. Last layer should be cheese.
Cook in oven for 15-20 mins Cheese on top will be slightly browned.
Oh so good! Serious comfort food for me! Hope someone enjoys this recipes as much as my family does!
Mmmmm the tomatoes sound yummy!
