Easy, Breezy, Mac and Cheesy

It is silly name for a recipe but that describes the dish and the preparation, accurately.  Besides all that, I have had a rough week and just need some comfort food.  Home made Macaroni and Cheese fills the bill.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

4 ounces of uncooked Macaroni
4 Tablespoons of Margarine
1/4 cup of Sour Cream
1 packet of Dry Cheese Mix from a box of Mac and Cheese
1 cup of shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup of Plain Dry Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup of Dry Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 slice of Fresh Bread, made into Bread Crumbs
Salt and Pepper

Bring 8 cups of Water and 4 Tablespoons of Salt to a boil in a large stock pot.  Once the water is boiling, add macaroni and cook until done.  Drain the water from the macaroni using a sieve. Be very Careful. Do not rinse the pasta.  Return the macaroni to the hot pan, there will be a small amount of water left.  Add margarine, sour cream, dry cheese mix (I would say to save the boxed macaroni for a later date, but I do not have the faintest idea what use you might have for that pasta) and shredded cheddar cheese.  Mix together and taste.  Add salt and pepper.  Pour into a greased 8" X 8" baking dish.
Using a blender on high, blend the slice of bread to make fresh bread crumbs.  Mix fresh bread crumbs, dry bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese together and spread over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until bread crumbs start to brown.

Enjoy!
