Mac & Cheeses

My mother-in-law made the best mac & cheese ever! While dating my husband, I would wait for him to bring it home after Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners (before we spent holidays together). She did not measure it nor follow a specific recipe. This is what we were able to put together, and it is pretty close to hers. Of all of her great recipes, how could she not write this one down? The family loves it, and waits for holidays for it. In honor of a great woman, a great food!

Mac & Cheeses

1 box elbow noodles, cooked

butter (several pieces of it)

small amount of milk

a block of Velveeta cheese

a block of cheddar cheese

some mozzarella (i think about a handful)

Preheat oven to 375. Place several pieces of butter in baking dish. Add a small amount of milk. Add cut up pieces of Velveeta, cut up cheddar and mozzarella to the baking dish. Pour hot noodles over the cheese mixture and stir up to mix a little. Cover and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. If cheese is melted, return to oven without the cover. If it is not melted, cover and return to oven until melted.
