Macaroni and Cheese! It’s comfort food at its best that you know the whole family will love. This time forget the box mix and try Shirley J. We use cheddar cheese in this version, but don’t be afraid to play around. Many of our customers are trying Swiss, Parmesan, Gruyere and even Muenster cheeses! Have fun.

Macaroni & Cheese

Ingredients:
8 oz. Elbow macaroni
3 c. water
¾ c. Shirley J Universal Sauce
12 oz.  cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 c. bread crumbs (dry)
¼ c. melted butter

Directions:
In large pot, cook elbow macaroni according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, combine water and Shirley J Universal Sauce in separate, medium sauce pan; bring mixture to a slow boil, after mixture boils remove from heat and place cheese directly into sauce. Stir to incorporate.

After macaroni is cooked, drain well and return pasta to its original pan, add sauce and stir well (cheese does not have to be melted completely). Place into oven proof casserole dish. Meanwhile combine butter and bread crumbs, mix thoroughly to coat breadcrumbs; coat top of casserole with buttered breadcrumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until casserole is hot and bubbly.
