Nannys Simple Macaroni And Cheese

    Haven't made it yet, but will tomorrow. My Mother used to make this, but since we only had can milk, she would mix some with water & used very little for the dish. Mostly was just longhorn cheese, mac noodles & salt & pepper. I am almost 84, so don't have her receipe.......reason I went on this site to try to find something a little like her's. It was dry, which is what I like, not creamy or mushy. She did not have butter, so used a little margarine (oleo, back then). Bake it until the cheese on top was nice a brown. I still remember eating it on a cold snowy night, along with a baked potato........one of my favorite meals. I also enjoyed her scalloped potatoes. Again, she used can milk, mixed with water. Layered the potato slices with a sprinkle of flour, salt & pepper. They were so good! Her meat loaf was a dream come true. People had little back then ('40's & '50's), but seemed to be so much happier. We only had meat on Sun. Rest of the week was cooked cabbage with potatoes; brussel sprouts; plain boiled noodle soup (no chicken); fried potatoes with onions; baked beans (from scratch, using navy beans & lima); green beans with potatoes, etc. I sure miss those days..........

    Nanny’s Simple Macaroni and Cheese,Gosh, there are so many Mac and Cheese recipes! I looked at many before deciding to post my favorite recipe from childhood. My grandmother makes this all of the time. My girls and I love it but the Hubby doesn’t like it much. “Too bland” he says. Great comfort food!,Haven’t made it yet, but will tomorrow. My Mother used to make this, but since we only had can milk, she would mix some with water & used very little for the dish. Mostly was just longhorn cheese, mac noodles & salt & pepper. I am almost 84, so don’t have her receipe…….reason I went on this site to try to find something a little like her’s. It was dry, which is what I like, not creamy or mushy. She did not have butter, so used a little margarine (oleo, back then). Bake it until the cheese on top was nice a brown.
