I’ve always loved macaroni and cheese, whether it’s homemade or straight out of the Kraft box. This recipe is a great twist on the old favorite that’s great tasting, easy to prepare, and better for you than the classic version. To get started, you’ll need:
- 1 cup uncooked jumbo elbow macaroni (3 oz)
- 1/3 cup frozen sweet peas
- 2/3 cup skim milk
- 1 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, cut into small pieces, softened
- 2 slices (3/4 oz each) process American cheese
- 2 tablespoons crushed fat-free herb-seasoned croutons
First, cook and drain the macaroni. Add in the peas for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the milk, cream cheese, and American cheese over medium-low heat. Stir carefully with a wire whisk until the cheese is melted. Now mix the cooked macaroni and peas into the cheese sauce. Let it stand for a couple of minutes until it thickens up a bit.
Sprinkle on the crushed croutons and serve. The recipe will make two servings and it will only take you about 10 minutes from start to finish!
Enjoy!

This sounds good, and not so much that we would gorge ourselves. Thanks for sharing.
