Crunchy Topped Baked Macaroni

I found this as I was going through a box of recipes and it is actually what inspired me to start this blog.  This goes way back into my childhood and I am sure will make my sisters smile as it was a standard side dish for our holiday dinners growing up.  Unfortunately, Nabisco does not make the cereal in the recipe anymore, but I think your favorite (non-sugary) flake cereal will do.

Crunchy Topped Baked Macaroni

Makes 6 (1 cup) servings.

2 cups crushed TEAM Flakes Cereal

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

3 cups uncooked macaroni shells (8 oz)

1 cup dairy sour cream

1 cup milk

8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)

Toss the first four ingredients in a medium bowl. Cook the maccaroni shells according to package directions until just tender. In a large bowl, blend together sour cream and milk; add grated cheddar. Add cooked macaroni shells. Turn into a shallow 2 quart baking dish; top with cereal mixture. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbling.
