Lee's World Famous Mac & Cheese
Why I Love This Recipe
This is the most delicious family recipe passed down through my husbands sides generational kitchens! Of course nobody ever wrote down the recipe, so it never ended up quite the same, and it was really difficult to tell somebody else how to fix it. You know...old school cooking w/ a pinch of this... My husband made it one night and wrote down exactly how much of everything he used and ever since then we pass out this recipe more than any other. My kids love to get involved in cooking it, too. No matter where we take the dish, it disappears (FAST) and everybody wants the recipe and makes special requests (or DEMANDS) that we bring it everytime there is a get together.
Ingredients You'll Need
16oz box Muellers Sea Shells
12oz can Hunt's whole tomatoes
Sharp Cracker Barrel cheese (or now they offer 24 pre-cut slices which is a great short cut and you don't notice the few missing slices)
Stick Butter
Salt
Pepper
1 1/4 cups Milk
Directions
