Burton: Macaroni And Cheese

Recipe by Emeralde Khrysteele - thanks Emeralde!



Burton mac and cheese.
Aluminum loaf pan
Foil
Dry macaroni
Cheese sauce
Meat and/or veggie of choice

Spray pan with cooking spray. Pour in macaroni, cheese sauce, meat and/or veggies. Mix well. Cover with foil. About 1 1/2 hr cook time, or til you can smell it. Yes, no water is added. The moisture in the cheese sauce and the steam created by covering will give enough moisture to cook the macaroni!This was an experiment that turned out well, and not into glop! Lol!
