Got this one from my mother-it's our family favorite. Ingredients:
2 cups macaroni, but you can use other pastas (elbows seem to be best) |
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup |
16 ounces bricks extra-sharp cheddar cheese |
32 ritz crackers (1 sleeve) or 1 cup breadcrumbs |
1 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Shred cheese(keep some cheese aside to place on the top) and combine in sauce pan with cream of mushroom soup andmilk. Bring to a soft boil till cheese is melted.
2. Remove from heat stir in bread crumbs.If you use crackers crush them in a sandwich bag till finely crushed.
3. Boil macaroni (still a little firm); drain.
4. Pour about 1/2 into a casserole dish and stir in cheese mixture; stir in the rest of the macaroni till mixed in with cheese sauce.
5. Place some cheese on the top. A thin layer works well.
6. Pour a small amount of milk (1/4 cup or so) over the top of the cheese. Cover dish and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes then remove cover. If you like crispy edges and bake 10 to 15 more minutes.
