- * Original recipe calls for Jack cheese
- ** I keep Masa Harina in bags in freezer.
- Cook macaroni in boiling salted water till tender but hard and drain.
- Make cheese sauce (I do this part in microwave oven). Heat butter in large saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, garlic pwdr, and pepper. Cook , stirring constantly, 2 min. Slowly add in lowfat milk, stirring till smooth. Add in onion, chiles, and pimento. Cook till thickened. Stir in cheese and cook till melted.
- Combine macaroni and cheese sauce. Pour into 2 1/2-qt casserole. Top with tortilla crumbs and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 F degrees 25 min. Serve at once.
- Serves 6
- Note: I sometimes top w/fresh salsa, or possibly any kind. Most of my other changes or possibly edits are in parentheses. This dish is good with other veges thrown in too. A good buffet dish for company. Masa Harina, if used in place of flour to thicken, gives dish a nice Mexican kind of flavor.
