My Aunt Joy's Easy Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

You have to try this recipe sometime. It is very flavorful and easy to make! It is nice because you do not have to boil the macaroni first, so you can just put all the ingredients into a baking dish and then put it in the oven and go about the other 15 million activities calling your name.

We've enjoyed this recipe many, many times at family gatherings. It is especially nice in the summer when we go boating. Joy can start the recipe and we can go out on the lake while it is cooking. I have used it many times in my short cooking career.

Easy Do Macaroni and Cheese

½ stick margarine
2 c. milk
1 ¼ c raw macaroni
¼ lb. velveeta cheese, cubed
Salt & pepper to taste

Melt margarine; add raw macaroni and mix. Add milk, cheese, salt and pepper. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Serves 4. Recipe can easily be doubled in 9X13 baking dish for more servings. Joy says she always double the recipe. Also, cheese comes out most evenly spread around if dish can be stirred one time once cheese is melted a bit, but this is not necessary.

En-JOY!

  2. Amanda a variation to this recipe that my great grandmother always made was to add a few strips of bacon to the top. She typically did 3 bc i fondly remember wanting to be in the front of lines so that you got a strip of bacon.
