Recipe #2: Busy Day Macaroni

I know what you're thinking. Second recipe, second non-soup recipe. Well, I did say this blog would include more than soups. This one is a favourite from my childhood! For some reason, it was filed under "Baked Goods." It ain't soup, but it ain't baked goods, either.

Update: After consulting with my mother about the origin of this recipe, I need to correct my statement above that it was a favourite from my childhood. The source is a cookbook my mother put together in the late-1980s for Daycare Connection, where she worked 1988-1998. Someone submitted this recipe for the cookbook, which was a fundraiser for the organization. By 1988, I had left home for university. So it was a favourite of the 1990s, I guess.
