  • Mad Hunky General Purpose Cracker Topped Mac 'n Cheese in the Dutch Oven

    This was only my 2nd attempt at baked mac 'n cheese that wasn't from a box and this recipe is a keeper! Found the recipe at Gooseberry Patch. They have a lot of great stuff over there.

    Instead of topping with the french fried onions, I decided to make a sleeve of Mad Hunky General Purpose crackers and crushed them for the topping. I got that idea from eDj who recently topped some potatoes with Kentucky Fire Crackers.

    Original Recipe

    10-3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
    1/2 c. milk
    1/2 t. mustard
    1/8 t. pepper
    3 c. elbow macaroni, cooked
    2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    1 c. French fried onions

    Blend soup, milk, mustard and pepper in a lightly greased 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Stir in macaroni and 1-1/2 cups cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and onions; bake 10 additional minutes. Serves 4.



    After adding the macaroni, I thought it needed more milk than the recipe called for. I also used more cheese than what it said.



    Ready for baking



    About half way



    One sleeve of Mad Hunky General Purpose crackers.



    Mac 'n cheese on the right in the 10" shallow DO.



    And done





    Best mac 'n cheese I have ever made. Cheese was all melted and gooey and we loved the crunchy MHGP cracker and cheese topping! I wasn't sure at first how I would like the mushroom soup but it added a nice flavor!

    Thanks for looking!

      Love me some good mac and cheese! Throw a few jalepenos on top, and I'm good to go!

      That looks awesome!
