Creamy Baked Macaroni

This week's recipe was Creamy Baked Macaroni from the Tasteofhome Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2010 cookbook.

Changes: So, since I'm in Canada and this is an American cookbook, we don't actually have the size cans the recipe calls for. Instead, I used two 284mL cans, which means I had more liquid than the recipe, but it still turned out rather well. I used Gouda cheese, Panko bread crumbs because that's all the store had, and omitted the chives and hot pepper sauce to avoid wasting the leftovers.

It came together rather easily, and after baking for 27 minutes, it was bubbly and had thickened and looked delicious. After letting it cool a bit, it tasted delicious too, and I have enough left for four or five more meals. This was good enough and easy enough that I would make it again when I want something warm and comforting.
