Hidden Veggie Mac-N-Cheese

 Yum...Yum...Get you some!!

This healthy twist on a classic favorite 

is super delicious and not to be missed.

Ingredients:

1 small onion

1 small sweet potato (about 2 ½ inches long)

4 tablespoons of real butter

2 cups of real, mild cheddar cheese*

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of whole milk
a pinch of Salt

1 box of whole wheat pasta cooked according to the instructions on the box

Directions:

Cook the pasta and set it aside.

Clean and peel the onion and sweet potato, then chop it into quarters. Roast them at 375*F until they are fork tender. Place the roasted veggies, 1 tablespoon of the butter, and 2 tablespoons of milk into a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms. 

Over medium heat, melt the other 3 tablespoons of butter and the ½ cup milk in a saucepan. Now add 1 ½ cups of the cheddar cheese, ½ cup at a time, and stir as it melts into the butter and milk. (Save the last ½ cup of cheese for sprinkling over the top before baking.) Once the cheese is melted, fold in the sweet potato and onion paste and mix completely. 

Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked pasta and mix together. Layer the macaroni and cheese into a baking dish and top with the last of the cheddar cheese. Bake at 325* F for 15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
