Potluck : Do You Feel Lucky?

Share

Macaroni (or any pasta) layered with sour cream and onions was probably invented by a potluck cook sometime during the ‘50s. Since then cooks of every social class have prepared it for large parties. At one such party, it was an accompaniment to a roast. At another, fried chicken was the entree. Either way, it makes enough to feed a large crowd, and, best of all, it can be made ahead and easily carried to a potluck dinner. It doesn’t have to be eaten piping hot, but do serve it warm for the best flavor results.

POTLUCK MACARONI AND CHEESE

1 pound macaroni

2 cups sour cream
