With this whole pinterest craze happening lately, I feel the need to post a few recipes that I can't find on the internet. (Now I can pin them to my own pinterest board! Hehe) Here is one that I tried last night. It was super easy and quick, and the first thing Ian said after trying it was, "This is tasty! You can make this one again!"
I originally got the recipe from this book: Cooking Heathly With A Man In Mind. Yes I know, the book sounds silly and the people on the cover look like they are stuck in the 80s. I actually got this cookbook from a white elephant gift exchange this Christmas, but it does have some really great recipes.
Ingredients
15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 Tbsp dried onion flakes (I used minced onions)
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, drained (I left these out, mushrooms are too slimy for me)
6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 cups hot cooked elbow macaroni, rinsed and drained
Personally, I would add some sausage in there too, because to me it seemed like that would make it even more perfect.
Recipe
In a large skillet, combine tomato sauce, mushroom soup, onion flakes, and mushrooms. Stir in cheddar cheese, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Cook on medium heat until the cheese melts, stirring often. Add the macaroni (and possibly cooked sausage?) and mix well. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
This serves 6 (and it tastes even better for leftovers!). Bon apetit!
