Now, I know all of you enjoy macaroni and cheese. Give this one from Mary Meade’s Magic Recipes for the Blender a try. Just a tiny bit different but still the frugal yummy dinner we all love. It really is mousse like or souffle like or rather well…custard like. But you will like it. I tend to use cheddar instead but the American really does melt better.

A variation of a standard American dish.

1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter
