Amy's Mac N Cheese


This is definitely not for you if you're looking for something healthy to make. But, if you're looking for comfort food, it really hits the spot!

I usually make this with either heavy cream or half and half, but I had neither, so I improvised with a jar of leftover alfredo sauce I had sitting in the fridge.

1 cup elbow mac
1/3 jar alfredo sauce (was probably 3/4 cup or so)
Enough milk to make 2 cups of liquid (mixed with the alfredo)
1 bag of sharp cheddar shredded cheese (was a 4 cup bag)
Seasoned Salt
Onion and Herb Mrs. Dash

Boil the macaroni until al dente (will further cook in the oven, so doesn't need to be quite done). Layer half of the macaroni in an oven safe dish. Layer half of the cheese on top, then repeat with the remainder of the macaroni and remainder of the cheese.

Mix together the alfredo sauce and milk to make 2 cups of liquid. Pour the liquid over the top of the macaroni and cheese layers.

Sprinkle seasoned salt and Mrs. Dash over the top of the dish.

Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or so (I covered my dish for all but 10 minutes or so).

Creamy, cheesy and very tasty! The alfredo gives it a nice flavor.
