MY MOTHER'S MAC AND CHEESE



My Mother's Mac and Cheese image

I remember my mother sending me to the store for 15 cents worth of cheese. The butcher would cut off a slice from a gigantic wheel covered with a wax-coated cloth. Mother would then blend that cheese into this tasty dish. Today, the memory of her cooking is like food for my soul. -Phyllis Burkland, Portland, Oregon

OLD-FASHIONED MACARONI



Old-fashioned Macaroni image

I love Macaroni & Cheese and this is my all time favorite recipe from a newspaper food section a long time ago. It's quick, it's easy and it reheats the next day fabulously. This recipe gets requested more often then any other from my very fussy 12 year old niece so it's a real winner with kids too.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups hot water
8 ounces macaroni
1/2 lb strong cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons butter
paprika

Steps:

  • Place water in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave, covered, at high for 10 minutes to bring to boil.
  • Add the macaroni, stir and cover.
  • Microwave 7 to 8 minutes at high.
  • Stir, cover and let stand 3 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Place half the cooked macaroni in a buttered 6-cup microwave-safe baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with half the cheese, top with half the sour cream and dot with half the butter.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Microwave, uncovered at high for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • My notes: I cook macaroni on stove top instead of microwaving it.
  • My microwave is so old it takes forever to boil water.
  • I also will mix up the cheese sometimes using different cheddars but it's really great if you use some freshly grated pecorini cheese as well in the mix.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more flavorful and nutritious broth. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just starting to soften.
  • Use a good quality macaroni. This will make a big difference in the texture of your soup. Look for a macaroni that is made with durum wheat semolina.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much macaroni to the pot, it will absorb all of the broth and the soup will be too thick. Add the macaroni in batches, and stir frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Macaroni soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious macaroni soup that your family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
