GOODe Comfort: Mama's Mac 'n Cheese

Mmmmm... comfort food.

When I am tired, I fix this.

When I am not feeling well, I fix this.

When I am nostalgic, I fix this.

This is a version of my Mama's Mac 'n Cheese... only difference is, she uses Velveeta and I use Kraft singles.

Regardless, it is easy peasy and really cheesy ;)

Ya start out with some elbow macaroni. I prefer my smart taste pasta... makes me feel less guilty.

You boil up your macaroni in some water and a tad bit of salt. No measurements. This is comfort food, so don't make me measure.

Say "Oh shoot" when you realize your macaroni has boiled a little dry... then quickly drain.

Grab your milk and cheese slices... again as much as you like.

 Now prepare yourself for a little cheese meltin' trick.

After drainin' my pasta, I put only half back in the pot...

Then throw in half of my cheese.

Cover with remaining pasta....

And you guessed it-- throw in the rest of the cheese :)

Then stir and the cheese easily melts--super quick like.... ahhhh comfort.

Now add in some milk. I typically just pour it until I can just see it peekin' through.

Add Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper and stir.

And now enjoy.

Now... don't we feel better?

I realize that the ingredient measuring prone are probably irritated at the lack of measuring cups in this post. 

Don't worry, they will return... 

This just wouldn't have been Mama's Mac 'n Cheese if measuring cups had been used in the makin' of this dish... just sayin'

So, just toss those suckers aside and let your heart be your guide ;)
