A little more than macaroni and cheese - named Nana's casserole by my daughter who loved it when Nana used to make it for her.
Jessica Cuppage from David H. Church Public School, part of the Orillia & Area Nutrition Network, contributed this tomato-topped macaroni and cheese. It tastes just as good as its name.
It looks like a quiche, but it's magical how the batter forms its own bottom crust and filling as it bakes. As comforting as macaroni and cheese, this pie is a surefire kid-pleaser.
Baked macaroni is one of our Sunday dishes that we serve with stewed chicken or beef, rice, stewed red beans and potato salad. This will stick to your bones and you won't be hungry too quickly thereafter. Baked macaroni is definitely a tasty comfort food that all ages will love. Best served hot and leftovers are just as good. For those who are lactose intolerant, omit the can of evaporated milk and substitute with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. You must also increase the amount of breadcrumbs by 1/4 cup. Don't use too much broth as the mixture will not bind together. Any Canadian marbled cheese and parmesan cheese can be used.
You can't go wrong with macaroni and cheese, and this classic recipe is sure to satisfy the kid in all of us. It works well with any short pasta, such as shells, rigatoni or farfalle. Add a boost of fibre by substituting whole wheat pasta for the regular pasta.
This dish is a spin off the classic comfort food of macaroni and cheese, almost everything is different, except the cheese part. I was inspired by the wonderful complementary flavours of tart apples and strong Canadian cheddar. I decided to pair this with the yummy Italian potato pasta, Gnocchi, to reflect upon the diversity in ?Canadian? cuisine. I also added some red peppers for color and vitamin C! I served this with a baby spinach green salad with blackberries and Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Need a quick and easy dish when your kids suddenly decide to have a sleepover? Everyone loves macaroni, and this recipe is perfect for an impromptu dinner party.
Before you bake this, the rich mix of sauce and pasta may appear soupy. But don't be alarmed because the macaroni will soak up much of the sauce and give you a perfectly creamy yet easy-to-cut dish.
