\u201cMore than any of my recipes, this is The One when it comes to comfort. Most mac ‘n cheese recipes call for various cheeses, maybe a roux, maybe a crunchy topping and then some baking. Not so, my mom’s! She got it down to the basics. It traditionally stars at our Yom Kippur break-fast,* and is right up there as a most-requested recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First, boil up your favorite elbow macaroni<\/strong> for the recommended cooking time. How much macaroni? Enough for your own snack (perhaps a secret, momentary need), or enough for the whole family. So maybe a box or two.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. After draining and while it’s still hot, drop in a huge dollop each, or more, of Philadelphia Cream Cheese<\/strong> and butter<\/strong> according to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Salt<\/strong> liberally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Stir with a soup spoon until you hear that creamy, slathering sound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Serve immediately!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Leftovers (leftovers?) are never as good as the original, which has been known to be eaten right out of the pot (oops, back to that comfort food thing), but do serve with a fresh salad (or not) to cut some of the guilt\u2014I mean richness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *Note that “Break-fast\u201d isn\u2019t breakfast, but the evening meal that breaks the Yom Kippur fast.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Thanks, Sheila! You\u2019ve written the best instruction in any recipe: \u201cStir with a soup spoon until you hear that creamy, slathering sound.\u201d And even with a healthy slathering, the nutty taste of good macaroni shines through.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As great as this recipe is, it is strangely absent from the blogosphere. <\/em>Gourmet Magazine has a version (via Epicurious)<\/a><\/em> that we made for big family meals, but that was before we met Grandma Mac.
