Macaroni Recipes

**I omit the chilies. My family doesn't care for them. I, however, thought that they added a nice punch. Let me know what you think.

I'm not Italian, but this has become my favorite comfort food!

Note from Marlen: There are several copycat recipes for this soup on the web. I believe this recipe comes closest to the real dish. Also, this is the correct spelling for the dish as listed in the Olive Garden menu.

Recipe from Everyday Is A Party Cookbook, by Emeril Lagasse with Marcelle Bienvenu and Felicia Willett, published by William Morrow, 1999.

This recipe comes from a home ec textbook, Adventuring in Home Living, a 1959 guide for teens that covers everything from problem perspiration to making popcorn balls. The last step of broiling the casserole ensures generous amounts of chewy top as well as creamy center. You can soup it up with Tabasco sauce; you can enrich it by using cream instead of milk; or you can dot it with bits of Canadian bacon--but the crucial decision will be the choice of cheese. Being average folks, we like a mild Vermont Cheddar, but if you like it blander than that, use Velveeta; for more zest, chose New York State coon cheese or Oregon Tillamook.

This has been a family favorite for years. Hope you enjoy.

People rave about Mom's macaroni salad and always ask her to bring it to picnics, etc.

This was not by Campbells, but thought you might like to try it. Enjoy

This macaroni and cheese is great with pork chops and a green vegetable.

Notes from Imp- you can experiment with different cheeses. I cut the recipe in half and cooked it in an 8 or 9 inch square pan and it worked perfectly. I only used a couple of tbsp butter and that was plenty.

This is the best macaroni and cheese receipe ever.
