CREAMY MACARONI & CHEESE


I thought some good old comfort food was in order for all my Jets fan friends out there. This is for you Joey! 


Ingredients: 


1 pound small shell pasta [or your favorite]
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 stick butter
2 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of cheddar soup
2 eggs
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dry mustard powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup plain bread crumbs + 2 tablespoons butter melted


Method:

Bring pan of water to boil and cook pasta as directed on package leaving firm [al dente].


While the pasta is boiling, preheat oven to 400* and prepare the cheese sauce.


Combine the can of soup, milk, butter in an microwave safe bowl and cook on 80% power for 4 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in cheeses and spices and stir. Then add 2 eggs [slightly beaten] to the mixture.


Spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.


Drain the pasta and pour into the casserole dish. Pour in the cheese sauce and mix to combine.


In a small dish combine breadcrumbs and melted butter and sprinkle on top of casserole. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.


Let sit for 5 minutes after removing from oven.


Serve with white wine or sweat tea and salad and you'll be feeling better in no time.


Go Saints!
