If there's anything useful that came out of the Ronald Reagan administration, it was that wierd Bizarro World SNL sketch and this recipe for the World's Best Macaroni and Cheese recipe:

RONALD REAGAN'S MACARONI AND CHEESE
Serves 4

1/2 pound macaroni
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg, beaten
3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup warm milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
a pinch of paprika

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
2. Add macaroni to 2 quarts of boiling salted water and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Drain well in a colander. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
4. Stir in butter and beaten egg. Add 2 1/2 cups of the grated cheese.
5. In a small bowl, combine milk with salt, mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
6. Spoon macaroni and cheese into the prepared casserole. Pour milk mixture over and sprinkle top with the remaining cheese.
7. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake on middle shelf of preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until macaroni is firm to the touch and the top is crusty and browned.
8. Serve at once, either as a light entree accompanied by a hot green vegetable and a crisp salad, or as a side dish with Hamburgers or Meat Loaf.

Dean makes this, and it really IS the best Macaroni and Cheese recipe in the universe. It's the only Republican recipe I know of that isn't one for disaster or apocalypse.

What you say?

Hmmmm... this must be a neocon reworking of the recipe (what with their Reagan-name-dropping ways and all). It's slightly different than the one I have.

OK, one more time (please), in front of everyone here, which were the recipes you wanted from me? Will be harder for me to forget if I can find it on LJ. :)

So this may actually be the real Reagan legacy?

This was more of a "Trickle down" recipe. ;)
