Big Martha’s Mac & Cheese
  1. Heat 3 cups of milk in a saucepan. Stir in about ½ can of tomato paste (or tomato soup) until combined.

  2. Add a generous amount of black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

  3. Stir in grated white cheddar (and/or Swiss) until melted into a smooth sauce.

  4. Separately, cook elbow macaroni until just al dente. Drain.

  5. Toss cooked macaroni with hot cheese sauce until fully coated.

  6. Pour into a buttered casserole dish. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.

  7. Bake at ~350°F for about 30 minutes, until hot and slightly browned on top.

  8. Serve with sour cream on the side, as Big Martha traditionally did.
