This recipe was a family favorite when I was growing up... I'm not sure where my mother first learned of it, but she made it often and we all loved it. Now, with a few adjustments, I make it for my family at least once a month - we still love it! :)
Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
Prep/cook time: approximately 15-20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb macaroni (or small pasta variety of your choice)
16 ounces cubed or shredded cheddar cheese (or combination of your favorite cheeses)
2 small cans of condensed mushroom soup
4 tbsp butter
Preparation:
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, combine cheese, soup, and butter in a 2-qt. pot. Cook cheese mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Drain macaroni when tender, and pour macaroni into a large casserole dish. Pour approximately 3/4 of the cheese mixture over the macaroni and gently stir until the pasta is coated. Adjust the amount of cheese sauce to your taste. And there you have it - quick, creamy, cheesy macaroni and cheese, in just about the amount of time it takes to make it from a box. :)
Remaining cheese sauce may be chilled, and then spread on crackers as is, or gently warmed and served over broccoli for a tasty side dish later in the week.
Serves 4-6

This is such a great recipe! Thanks for sharing. When I make it I use about 14 ounces of cheese, 1 small can of mushroom soup and 2 tablespoons of butter. The ingredients are easily adjusted to individual taste.
