Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Everyone has their own recipe for baked mac n cheese. Some are easy, some are more complex.  Mine is so simple, you will never dread the process of creating one of life's biggest comfort foods again!  Here it is!

Ingredients:

- 1 box Elbow Macaroni (you can also substitute Penne, Shells, or Rigatoni...whatever you have on hand!)
- 2 cans Cheddar Cheese Soup
- 1 soup can of milk
- Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- Salt and Pepper to taste


(In the photo you will notice it does not show the Sharp Cheddar.  That is because I had a brain fart and forgot to add it to the photo!  Hey...it happens!)

Directions:

1.  Boil the pasta until al dente.  If it's a bit firm, don't worry, it'll soften in the oven.  Remove to a bowl.


2.  Add both cans of soup, the soup can of milk, salt and pepper to taste, and a handful of the Sharp Cheddar.  Stir well to combine.


3.  Spread mixture into a 13X9inch baking dish (mine has seen better days, lol!).  Sprinkle a handful of the Sharp cheddar on top, followed by a handful of Mozzarella.  You can add as little or as much cheese as you prefer here.  But in my opinion, it IS called Mac N Cheese so the more cheese the better!

4.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly brown.


Here's the final product......


Enjoy!
