Mac & Cheese ~ Tamara's Recipe

This is Tamara's famous Mac & cheese she makes for each potluck.

1 -16 oz box of elbow macaroni

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

2 cups mayo (I use light mayo because it is less oily)

4 cup bag of Sharp cheddar cheese.

Salt & Pepper to taste.

Preheat oven 400 degrees

Cook macaroni according to directions on box. Make sure you don’t over cook it because it will cook more in the oven.

In a bowl mix soup & mayo.

Spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Put pasta & soup/mayo mixture into baking dish and mix well.

Add cheese and mix well. (I use at least the 4 cup bag, sometimes I put more in it, you can never have too much cheese!)

Bake until slightly brown on top. Usually, about 30 to 45 minutes.

*This is the size I make for potluck. If you just want to make it for family just ½ everything.
