Creamy Noodles

This is meant to be a side dish. It will definitely be very filling!

I served it as an entree, my daughter’s request. Because of this I added some cut up hot dog, just to give it a little protein.

The cheese sauce is very rich and creamy. The sauce itself is very simple, milk and cheese. I used a sharp cheddar.

The dish baked up beautifully. The noodles were soft, the sauce was cheesy and the buttered crumbs gave just a bit of crunch.
