Description

Tasty and quick comfort food, macaroni and cheese done in a skillet in 20 minutes or less! I think I found this recipe on the back of a can of tomatoes, and it’s the dinner most often requested by my kids. It’s easy to keep the stuff on hand in the pantry and the fridge, and it comes together in a snap. Not exactly health food, though. No substitutions will work. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter - No Substitutions
  • 1 can (14 Oz. Can) Diced Tomatoes
  • 12 ounces, weight Short Pasta, Like Elbows Or Mini Ziti
  • 1-½ cup Hot Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Milk
  • 8 ounces, weight Freshly Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet (I use my 12-inch skillet; make sure yours has a lid.)

2. Add the tomatoes (undrained) and the dry pasta. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Pour in the hot water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until pasta is done and water is mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking.

4. Stir in the flour until blended. Pour in the milk and add the cheese. Stir this all around and allow another few minutes for the cheese to melt. Serve hot. Yum!

Yummie:) Easy to make and the first macaroni and cheese I have ever made that was smooth and creamy! Loved using my own tomatoes too. Everyone enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
