Macaroni and Cheese #4,389

"Re: The title. Just a little joke with so many recipes out there =). The grand kids like this so much better than the commercial version. It is an excellent freezer recipe. We always keep extra in zip lock bags as backup for the kids or as a side dish for a meal."

  1. I liked that it was all made on top of the stove and I did not have to bake it. I am only giving it 3 stars because I thought it was just too bland. I followed instructions to a tee. Will add some velveeta cheese to add more flavor to present batch. I will make again, and add more flavorable cheese.
     
  2. I just got done eating this Mac and cheese. It was wonderful I was not sure about the mustard because I do not like spicy stuff. The mustard gave it a nice flavor but it was just a hint of flavor. I will be making this again.
     
  3. This is so creamy and cheesey! The cheese combination is terrific and I really loved the two mustards in there. The mustards give a great flavor but it's not overwhelmingly "mustardy." I used fiore (flower-shaped) pasta. A real hit with the kiddos. Thanx for sharing this. Will certainly make this again!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
