KeKee's Super Quick Mac & Cheese

1 pound meltable yellow cheese such as Velvetta
3-4 Roma Tomatoes (depending on size) peeled & deseeded
Approx 1/2 to 2/3 Cup very fine diced White Onion (The little kiddies don't notice the onion this way)
Approx 3-4 oz of (canned) green chilies well drained
Approx 2/3 Cup Milk (Half & Half would work as well)
Cayenne Pepper

Preparation:
Cook Macaroni in boiling salted water till just tender

In Microwave bowl tear cheese into chunks add other ingredients (Except Cayenne) mix slightly ... Microwave (stirring occasionally) till cheese is melted & mixture is very smooth.

Drain Macaroni & place in bowl pour cheese mixture over Macaroni a little at a time gently mixing till well incorporated.
Sprinkle in about 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper ... mix well let sit for a few min...taste ... add more Cayenne as needed to taste.

Take any macaroni and cheese recipe and add some crisp bacon pieces and a salsa, green or red. It kicks it up and makes it something new.

Any macaroni and cheese recipe, follow their directions to make it then.
Add one cup frozen pea's
One cup of ham cut in small pieces
One small onion chopped small
Salt and pepper to taste
One clove of garlic minced
Mix all this together and put into a oven proof pan,
take one cup of seasoned bread crumbs and put on
top. Pop it in the oven at 350 and cook one hour.
When it comes out throw the bathroom scale away and enjoy

Did you try typing "macaroni and cheese" (without the quotes) into the Search box at the top of this page? You'll get a bunch of great recipes from Taste of Home! 

I am going to try one of these for dinner tonight.  I haven't decided which one yet, but will review it later tonight.  Thanks for posting all thes good recipes.  I have done Patty Labelle's recipe befor and it is good, but I don't have all those cheeses on hand right now.

This is simple - and a no fail recipe.   Always very good! 

 Macaroni Pie

Cook: 1 1/2 cups macaroni slightly less - al dente - than recommended time, Drain

Beat 2 eggs and blend in 1 tsp. plain flour.
Dash of salt - and freshly grated pepper - if you wish - I always add it on the top
1 cup grated cheese - I sometimes add a little more - and always add more on top

1/8 cup butter (1/4 stick)cut in small pieces (I sometimes add a few pats more)
1 cup cold milk
Mix ingredients after they are all added.

Add cooked and drained macaroni to this mixture and turn into a well buttered/greased casserole. A small (1 qt.) oval or round pyrex works fine and I sometimes put it in a deep pyrex pie dish - lest the name!
Top w/ additional cheese, and some toasted and buttered bread crumbs - and freshly grated pepper - if you wish.
I do not add paprika to mine as I think that spice is "overused" as a topping. JMO

Bake in a preheated 325 oven til firm and lite brown - about 25 to 30 minutes.

This recipe can be doubled and placed in a larger pyrex dish. If you use a metal pan - increase the temp. to 350.
