I used to make this macaroni and cheese for my children all the time, and now I make it for my grandchildren. This recipe goes a long way and everyone loves it. There’s nothing like homemade macaroni and cheese with a Mexican twist.

Ingredients

  • cups water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • cups

Method

Bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add macaroni and boil for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, but do not drain.

In a large skillet, sauté onion and garlic in butter or olive oil for 2 minutes. Once onions are translucent add cooked macaroni with the water, tomato sauce, and bouillon and bring to a boil.

Turn off heat. Sprinkle cheese on top and cover
