{tasty tuesdays} Cheesy goodness

Melty, stringy, delicious cheese-- that is the theme for tonight's Tasty Tuesday. As promised I am posting two recipes to tempt you. I'm sorry that I don't have pictures to go with these, but I have made them both in the past (the mac and cheese was dinner last night, actually) and they are some of our favorites. Not only are they quick and easy, they are also kid-friendly! Not healthy, maybe, but definitely worth eating. :) So go get your cheese on!

Campbell's Ooey-Gooey Mac and Cheese

1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup

1/2 soup can milk

1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups hot cooked large elbow macaroni or large shell pasta

Small amount of salt, to taste

Directions:
Heat soup, milk, black pepper, and cheddar cheese in small saucepan over med-low heat until melted together. Pour over hot cooked pasta (boil the pasta while you are doing the sauce) and stir together. Add salt if you think it needs it. Serve piping hot.

Serves 4.
