A Makeover for Macaroni and cheese

Are you in the need of a quick fix on an old classic?  What kid (or adult) doesn’t like Mac and Cheese?  If you’re a parent then chances are you have some variation of this in your pantry.  You can take a box of mac and cheese and dress it up a little to add your own little twist.  Now when you’re short on time and have your kid’s hungry friends or your own family to feed, you have a little something to fall back on.

• Add chopped ham
• Add frozen peas
• Add chopped tomatoes and basil
• Add seasoned ground beef and cooked chopped broccoli
• Add cooked chopped cauliflower
• Add canned tuna
• Add can or fresh sliced mushrooms
• Put prepared mac and cheese in casserole dish and top with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and place in broiler for few minutes.
• Mix with sautéed spinach and top with a little Parmesan
