Mom's Casserole Mac and Cheese

May 23, 2025

Obligatory ramble: Mom used to make this, often on a Friday because she soft-respected the no meat on Friday thing most of the year. It was simple and yummy. For some reason I remember there being some butter but I might have it wrong. The cruncy bits on top were prized.

Ingredients:

Directions

Cool pasta al dente

Shred cheese

Mix together in an oven-safe glass dish, add milk, salt and pepper

Put in oven 350 degrees uncovered. When the macarone starts to turn brown you’re done.

The crunchies on top were always the best part

There’s really no official recipe to my knowledge just cheese milk and noodles salt+ pepper

Colby or cheddar cook noodle Al dente

I remember she used to use a cylinder of Colby

Usually it was Colby sometimes medium cheddar or sharp cheddar but it was pretty simple

I don’t see pure Colby much in stores… usually Colby jack

Cook macaroni, shred cheese, mix together in glass dish, add milk, salt and pepper. Throw in oven
