Best Easy Baked Macaroni And Cheese Recipes
EASY BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE
I first had this at a friend's house for dinner and loved it. I asked her for the recipe and could not believe it when she said it had mayonnaise in it! She said her Great Aunt made it this way all her life. I never would have posted this recipe because I don't really care for mayonnaise but in this dish it reigns supreme! You've got to try it! I usually use penne pasta and I love adding cayenne, to taste, to the mayo before mixing it in with the pasta.

Steps:
- Cook pasta al dente tender; drain well. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 2-qt. baking dish with cooking spray. Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and dry mustard together in a small bowl; set aside. Place half of the cooked macaroni in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half the flour mixture over the top of the macaroni, then top with half of the margarine slices. Cover with 1 cup of cheese. Repeat the layers (macaroni, flour, margarine, and cheese). Pour the milk evenly over the top of all. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, return to oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes. (If desired, you can top with additional cheese before returning it to the oven.)
EASY BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is a family favorite that I learned from my Mom. It has been passed down and I am sure it has changed over the years, but everyone that has it loves it. I use it anytime I need a nice side dish in a pinch!! The left overs reheat nicely and never stick around more than a day or so! I tend to cook by sight, so I did my best to approximate the measurements. I like to make this with fried chicken, grilled salmon, pork roast,etc with a fresh salad or veggie. It really is a versatile dish that leaves you free to tend to your main dish or dessert prep!! My kids love this, and I recently made this for great friends while in Canada on vacation and it seemed to be a hit. Definitely a staple for our household. :)
