#3309 - Ritzy Mac and Cheese

(by Shirley McNevich)

8oz. raw elbow macaroni
8oz. Velveeta cheese (cubed)
1 - 10.75oz. can Campbell's condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 to 1 cup Breakstone's sour cream (use the full 1 cup if you love sour cream)
1/4 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese (NOT pre-grated Parmesan cheese)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers
2 TBSP butter (melted)
salt (to your taste)
pepper (to your taste)

Cook macaroni in salted water according to box directions to "al dente". Drain the macaroni but DO NOT rinse. In a large bowl add drained macaroni, Velveeta cubes, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, shredded Parmesan cheese, milk, salt and pepper--stir carefully to mix. Pour the mixture into a greased glass baking dish. In a separate bowl add the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter--stir to mix. Sprinkle the cracker mixture all over the top of the macaroni mixture. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, remove the foil, and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and let it sit a few minutes before serving.
