National parks aren’t all about long hikes and beautiful scenery; sometimes they’re also about mouth-watering Mac & Cheese! Check out this decadent description from our friends at the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site:
Hungry? Of all of Bess Truman’s recipes, her Mac & Cheese recipe was always the crowd favorite. We’ll warn you; this is a heavy dish, particularly for those used to mac and cheese from a box. Just take a look at the ingredients: for one cup of pasta, there are two cups of milk and two cups of cheddar. Add an egg and half a stick of margarine to top it off!
8 oz macaroni (1 cup)
½ pound grated cheddar cheese (roughly two cups, loosely packed)
2 cups of milk
1 egg
¼ cup oleo (margarine)
Cook macaroni. Drain and cool. Spread a layer of macaroni in a baking dish. Then add a layer of cheese. Repeat layers. Combine the milk and egg separately. Pour over macaroni and cheese. Dot with oleo/butter. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
