Sharon’s Macaroni Casserole

Posted By Sharon On October 22, 2011 @ 5:48 pm In Pasta,Recipes | 12 Comments

My 18 year old son created this recipe when there wasn’t much left in the pantry and fridge…those are always the best. It turned out great and is a favorite with my teens! It is easy to make and feeds a crowd.  This recipe uses American cheese, however, shredded cheddar or mozzarella would work even better. But you can use whatever kind of cheese you have on hand. Enjoy!
