We have been trying to get away from Kraft macaroni and cheese, so for the last year I've been trying different recipes to try and find a homemade one that our children would like. Buddy is pretty easy to please and likes almost all of the recipes I have tried. Princess on the other hand loves her Kraft macaroni and cheese. We have had a very hard time finding a recipe that she would eat.
Tonight was a complete success. She tried a bite and said "Mommy, this is my favorite one you've made." With a big smile on her face. It gave me a huge sense of accomplishment after a year of failure. And to make it even better it is a very easy recipe that takes about the same time to make as the Kraft macaroni and cheese.
The recipe:
1. Make the macaroni as you would usually.
2. While the macaroni is cooking melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan.
3. Mix in one can of Campbells Condensed Cheddar Cheese soup.
4. Add 6 slices of American Cheese. (Next time I might try a few more) I used Land of Lakes American Cheese made with 2% milk and added 3 slices at a time and once those were melted added the next.
5. Mix cheese sauce with drained macaroni and serve.
