Shaq's Macaroni and Cheese
By á-2267
You can substitute Monterey Jack, Gouda, or mild cheddar for all or part of the sharp cheddar.
If the top of the macaroni browns before the filling is cooked, tightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and continue cooking until heated through.
Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) box elbow macaroni
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine, preferably Parkay

- 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk
