I am not really familiar with the recipe for Baked Mac and I'd usually consult recipe books or blogs whenever I cook. But since this was an impromptu request, I started grabbing the most logical ingredients I can find. And voila! I was able to make my very first baked macaroni. I have included in this post my impromptu recipe. Hope you get to enjoy it. Also, I do appreciate if you could share your own version, too!
Ingredients:
1/4 K Lean Ground Pork
1 can Whole Button Mushrooms (sliced)
1 Medium Red Onion (chopped)
1/4 cup Nestle Cream
1 pack (250g) Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce Italian Style
1/4 tsp. Iodized Salt
200g Royal Elbow Macaroni
1 cup grated Magnolia Quickmelt Cheese
Black Pepper
Procedure:
Elbow Macaroni - Cook according to package instructions.
Meat Sauce - Saute the onion. Then add the lean ground pork. Once this is browned, add the mushrooms, spaghetti sauce and cream. Season with iodized salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Baking Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 mins. Combine the cooked elbow macaroni, meat sauce and half of the grated cheese and evenly distribute in an 8"x8" baking pan. Top with the rest of the cheese. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
The Verdict:
My husband loved it that he ended up eating 2/3 of it. I get to bring 1/3 to the office and shared it with my friends (Ate Ga and Boss Chits) and they both loved it.
