[recipe*] Parmesan Macaroni Mix

[Guest guest]

I like to keep this mix on hand to make a quick easy meal.

Mixing up and batch of this mac & cheese is a great way

to use up leftover steamed or sauted veggies; just stir

them in and heat until warmed through.

This macaroni and cheese mix is worlds better than

the kind you buy boxed from the store.

1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt

 

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.

Cut in the butter until crumbly.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 months.
