My Gram used to serve this as a side dish...I made it more of a full meal with the addition of chicken. For some reason, she would always serve this with braised steak. It's similar to a macaroni and cheese, with a nice tang, from the cheddar and sour cream.. My kids love it! Enjoy!

How To Make ~ grams macaroni & cream ~

Step 1

Cook macaroni and drain.

Step 2

Add macaroni to a large bowl and stir in cheese, salt and pepper, chicken if adding.
Step 3

Stir in sour cream, onion and parsley. Grease an 11 x 7 baking dish and spread mixture evenly into dish.
Step 4

Sprinkle with paprika and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 - 35 minutes.
Step 5

Serve as a side to meat entree or as I did, with adding chicken. Note: for reheating, I add a little milk, as with any pasta, it will absorb the liquids. I've also added a little extra sour cream.
