Quick Bake Macaroni Cheese

I believe this is an all-time favourite of many families especially when it comes to feeding their children. Well, for one I am one of the very lucky mummies in the world who has a daughter who is not a picky eater. That's one of the reason she is so round. Hahahahahahhaha......

I have had this very easy recipe for a while now but never came to trying it. This is what I call a simple single dish with all basic nutrients from vege to chicken, cheese and pasta......

Ingredients: -

- 250g macaroni, cooked according to the packet instructions

- 150g broccoli florets boil or steam till tender

- 200g chicken, sliced thinly or into biteable cubes
- 6 crabsticks, cut small
- 60g butter
- 50g plain flour
- 350ml Evaporated Filled Milk
- 400ml water
- 250g pizza cheese mix
- Salt and pepper to taste (I didn't put any and it still tasted good)

1. Melt butter and add in flour. Cook stirring until mixture bubbles. Stir in Evaporated Filled Milk, water and cook until sauce boils and thickens. (Use a whisk to do this)
2. Stir in cooked macaroni, broccoli, crabsticks and half of the cheese. Spoon it onto a casserole dish (2 litres) and sprinkle the remaining cheese.
3. Put under grill in an oven until cheese melts and turns light gold in colour for about 15 mins.

As I'm updating this blog, Caitlin's attacking her lunch with relish. So, I guess it's a good recipe. So, do give it a shot. Another simple single dish. Probably the next ti,e round, I may try it with Chedar Cheese instead. Of course, you can always replace the vege, chicken and crabstick with any other ingredients that you would prefer.

Here is the macaroni mix.....

Here it is with the cheese topping.....

Hope you will like this recipe as much as I do.............
