Unbaked Mac And Cheese Recipes

UNCOOKED MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Use a 9x13 baking dish, add uncooked macaroni and pour the melted butter or oil and stir to coat the noodles well. Mix in your shredded cheese or cheese combinations and salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the milk, I like to reserve a little cheese for the top. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for about one hour, DO NOT STIR! The top should be lightly browning and the whole mess should be bubbling on the edges. This dish can have other ingredients added but you must adjust the amount of milk, always make sure that the milk covers the noodles--shake the dish gently to settle the ingredients. I have done taco mac & cheese, bacon mac & cheese, ham mac & cheese, 7 cheese mac & cheese, this is a no fuss great meal that the leftovers reheat well in the microwave, and freezes well. Use your imagination this is a great single guy dinner or kid friendly recipe.
