Quick and Easy Macaroni Cheese

Sunday lunch in the Karoo. Melt-in-the-mouth tender Karoo lamb roast and veggies with malva for pudding and chocolate cake for afternoon tea. Yeah, that sounds just about right. Sometimes you just want something a bit quicker to make. Maybe quick isn’t the right word. How about beef and vegetable soup, homemade bread and Macaroni Cheese?

This recipe is enjoyed by both guests and family and any leftovers freeze well for a quick and easy light meal.
