Easy No-Boil Macaroni & Cheese

Leilani's Note:

I found this recipe in a doctor's office. It is great for a week night meal as you don't need to boil the pasta first; instead, you just basically toss the ingredients together and then bake in the oven. I really enjoyed the dish when it came out of the oven, but I was less enthusiastic about the leftovers (yet I hate leftovers anyway.)

Pros: Extremely easy. Bakes to perfection.
Cons: Could use some more flavor.
Very good and easy recipe. Directions are very well written. Tastes okay, but I recommend throwing in extra seasonings. I also recommend adding chicken or some other meat to make it an easy meal.
