Another old classic with a real food bent. Noodle side dishes do not have to come from a box or be boring. I tend to make this to pair with baked chicken, breaded pork chops or a roast from the crock pot. Need a smaller amount just for two? cut everything to a third. Not a fan of cheddar use Parmesan cheese. Instant box like ease but with staples from the kitchen.
