Easy Pleasy Mac N Cheesy - US Navy Style image

I deployed with the U.S. Navy on the USS Enterprise, and it was there I had the best mac and cheese of my life. I've spent a number of years trying new recipes to produce the mild, thick and creamy version we were served. After numerous attempts and fails I came up with this. It's so simple and just like we got weekly while we were haze grey and underway.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces elbow macaroni
8 ounces processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup crushed saltine crackers
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
