Milk Macaroni
Macaroni noodles cooked and then drained, place back into the pot and fill with milk until about 4/5ths full. Add enough butter that a yellow film forms on top and it’s boiling.
Serve with Kraft Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of lawrys seasoning salt on top.
This was my mom’s poverty meal growing up in Los Angeles in the 50s-60s. She continued to make it for my sister and I whenever we got sick. The warm milk would coat your throat and it was perfection. She would also slightly overcook the macaroni so it didn’t hurt going down.
I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant and battling a brutal cold. My mom is no longer with us, but whenever I make this meal it feels like a big hug from her. I hope to share it with my son one day spreading it across 4 generations.
I haven’t met anyone else who ate something similar to it, but wondering if there are just different variations or names for it?
