A school lunchtime classic. Quick and easy to make. Very bland but has remarkable taste. My sister has tried it and say it's just as she remembers Mom's. All you need to finish this recipe is some Kraft shaker cheese to complete the memory. Mom probably got the recipe from a 1950 vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. Quantities are approximate. Mom seldom measured anything. We usually make a double batch. Enjoy. If you add a bit of garlic powder, chili powder and a can of kidney beans you would create Mom's Chili Mac Recipe.

Total comfort food for me. My mother made this when I was growing up and now I make it for my family. This is for a large amount so I can freeze some for another meal. You might need to add another can of tomato soup if it seems to dry. Feel free to add more onions, peppers and mushrooms if you want.
