When my daughter was little, she used to call this macaroni and home-made cheese much to the delight of her grandmother with whom the recipe originated. Grandma always used Velveeta, but we usually use cheddar. I have used whatever I have on hand. Monterey Jack is especially good. Use your favorite cheese. This recipe takes little more effort than a box, is faster than frozen, and is oh so much better than both. Everyone will think you cooked all day. Ingredients:
2 cups macaroni, raw (8 ounces) |
2 cups hot water |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine |
3/4 teaspoon onion salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/4 cups milk |
8 ounces cheese, cut into cubes |
1/3 cup flour |
Directions:
1. Mix macaroni, water, butter, onion salt, and pepper in 2-quart covered casserole; cover tightly.
2. Microwave on high 5 minutes; stir.
3. Cover tightly and microwave on medium(50% power) to boiling, 4 to 6 minutes.
4. Stir in milk, cheese, and flour.
5. Cover tightly and microwave on high (100% power) stirring every 4 minutes for 10 to 12 minutes until bubbly and tender.
