Just like me LOL! ;)
Seriously, when your cupboards are just about bare or you don't feel like fussing, fix yourself a package of macaroni and cheese - use half an half and real butter instead of the milk and margarine that the directions specify. Also add about 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. This makes it nice and creamy so even if using a generic mix it will taste like Velveeta Shells and Cheese. Once the macaroni mixture is done, add in a 15oz. can of Hormel (or your favorite brand) NO Bean chili and a couple dashes of hot sauce. This makes about 2 adult servings, so double that for family recipe.
Of course this one lends itself to variations...you can use chili with beans, or add in some ranch style beans...corn also makes a good stir in. Serve with a small salad on the side and you have a nice nutritious meal or lunch.
Very satisfying, especially on those upcoming chilly (no pun intended!) nights! :)

Jack likes his macaroni with stewed tomatoes! I make mine with cheez whiz!
I also add lots of spices, like celery salt and parsley flakes and sometimes onion flakes (when I have them). You can do all sorts of stuff with macaroni, it's such a versatile food!
I guess I can't post a recipe on this blog eh Diane. I didn't want to put one in a comment.
You can post a recipe now Jane, I added you as an author.
Thanks Diane. I sure will.
