We learned this recipe for macaroni and cheese casserole in early marriage, when funds were low and appetites high. It’s a great family recipe and always a winner at potlucks as well. It has great versatility – you can use chicken from a can or fresh, substitute tuna, add any cooked veggies that appeal, and try different cream soups or cheeses. You can also double the recipe easily for a crowd.
