Macaroni & Cheese

Yea, I know this is not cajun, but my daughter said I had to give you my recipe for Mac & Cheese since it is the one food that she and her brothers ALL like. Let me tell you, even now it can be hard to cook for my "brood", their taste have never come close to being anywhere similar. This is a simple recipe, but it packs a lot of flavor.

1 # Elbow small Macaroni (cooked al dente)
1 stick (1/4#) margarine
24 oz Carnation Milk
1 ½ # Velveeta Cheese (cubed)
Salt

In a 4 quart bake proof casserole dish put the cooked macaroni (while it is still hot), margarine, & cheese and stir these together until the margarine melts and the cheese starts to melt. Add the milk and stir. Taste to see if it needs any salt. Add a little salt at the time and taste so as not to over salt.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour, or until it becomes bubbly, then you know it is hot all the way through.

NOTE: This recipe doubles easily and I double it for many functions I bring it to. I use an aluminum roasting pan (the size you bake a turkey in) to make it in, so I don't have to worry about getting my pan back.
