Macaroni and Cheese

Tonight for supper I prepared the classic Macaroni and Cheese with my mother. Today was a lazy, rainy day, and Macaroni and Cheese was the perfect comfort food to have to lift the spirits a bit. This recipe is nothing special, just the standard macaroni with a cheese sauce made from cheddar cheese, onion, milk, and butter. Sometimes the simplest dishes end up being the tastiest. It's a quick, easy meal to prepare when you don't know what else to make. And it can always be jazzed up to suit your own tastes.

  • Add-ins: chicken, ham, ground beef, tuna, chopped veggies.
  • Cheeses: Use a different kind, or a combination of several different.
  • Flavours: Add different herbs, spices, or sauces.
  • Garnishes: Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs and butter, cracker crumbs, hot sauce.
The possibilities are endless!
