Directions
Moms Baked Tomato and Cheese Macaroni,This is not your everyday mac & cheese. It always tasted best when Dad would stop in Pinconning MI on his way home from deer hunting each year to pick up a huge round of Pinconning cheese. Mom had 5 hungry kids sitting at the table waiting for this to come out of the oven!,LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe! Very easy and much tastier than the typical mac and cheese of my grandma’s era–fat-laden and heavy. MY DH and DD had two platefuls each! DD had a huge plate the next morning before a big swim meet, and she WON! I would rename this Winner’s Mac and Cheese! Made for Football Pool Week 8, 2010.
