Recipe Wednesday: Weight Watchers Macaroni & Cheese

When I started Weight Watchers I knew I needed to find recipes for my favorite meals. I couldn't go without certain things and one of those things was macaroni and cheese. Sometimes I just get an intense craving for cheesy goodness and it cannot be stopped.

I searched Pinterest for a low point recipe as well as one that was easy to make. I love to cook, I love to bake but I hate when things are too complicated.

When I discovered this recipe, I knew that it would be good. It's only 4 points for 1 cup and 1 cup is more than enough. Also, 4 points is pretty decent for a lunch or dinner.

I have to say, this recipe is one of my favorite Weight Watchers recipes I've found. It doesn't taste like 'diet' food and I don't feel like I've really limited myself.

*I altered the recipe just a bit to my liking.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of macaroni
• I usually use more than this but do whatever your heart desires!
• 1 can low fat-cheese soup
• 1/2 can of water
• 3/4 cup of low-fat milk
• I use Almond milk
• Handful of reduced fat shredded cheese
• Handful of breadcrumbs

Steps

• Cook the macaroni to your liking
• Drain and return the pasta to the warm pot
• Add the cheese soup, the water, and milk to the pot and mix well
• Bring the mixture to a boil
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Transfer pasta mixture to a greased, medium casserole dish 
• Add shredded cheese and breadcrumbs on top of pasta mixture
• Cook for 1-2 hours (or until just brown enough to your liking)
• Enjoy! 

I like my mac & cheese extra crispy on top and a little burnt but you cook it however you like!

And remember, it's only 4 points per cup.

Happy eating!
