This is a quick post without a long recipe. I just had an idea today after making some plain old mac 'n cheese for lunch. So I added a few things to it for dinner. Here are some suggestions for converting plain old macaroni and cheese into a really great dinner dish.

• Heat up the mac 'n cheese on the stove and add between two and four tablespoons of condensed milk to the pasta dish. 
• Add mozzarella, cheddar, and any other cheese you like. 
• Stir until it's melted and cheese and milk are incorporated into pasta. 
• Add spices like ground black pepper, paprika, salt, and some herbs like chives and dill to taste. 
• Cut a tomato (or two) into thin slices and layer it over the mac 'n cheese.
• Put some more shredded cheeses on top of the tomatoes and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. 
• Add any leftover meats you might have. Bacon or chicken work well. 
• Put the mixture into an oven-safe bowl or pan and bake on 400F for 10 to 15 minutes. 

Serve with a salad and you've got a nice, quick dinner.

Leftover mac 'n cheese calls for something different. Mix a couple tablespoons of condensed milk into the pasta, transfer it into an oven-safe pan. Mix in some spices like paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chives & sliced tomatoes on top of it, and then add shredded mozzarella & cheddar on top of the tomato slices. Drizzle with olive oil and bake @ 400F for 10-15 minutes and serve with salad. Too good! #Yum #macncheese #pasta #food #foodie #macaroni #cheese #tomatoes #delicious
