Macaroni with Eggs

Macaroni with Eggs

One cup of macaroni, three hardboiled eggs, one and one half cups of White Sauce, one teaspoon of salt, and three tablespoons of toasted bread crumbs.

White Sauce Recipe

Four tablespoons of butter, four tablespoons of flour, two cups of milk, and one teaspoon salt.

This makes a wonderful Lenten meal. Just add a salad and some fresh baked bread.

I've always loved macaroni, had it a bit as a kid, so this sounds like a variant that older me will enjoy

 

[FarawayFriend]

Sounds really good! And so simply that I'm asking myself why I had not thought of it before. I think it will be on our table tomorrow!
Upon second thought I do know this recipe, but with potatoes instead of macaroni. You also can add some mustard and a little sugar to the sauce and have it with potatoes. Or have eggs in tomato sauce with macaroni. All delicious, all Lenten meals and all simple, easy to make and inexpensive.
Thanks for directing my thought in that direction, donna!

Macaroni dishes are always a favorite in our house.

Back in the day when we were first married and only 1 infant in the house the wife would scramble the eggs in the pasta to stretch a buck, that was a long, long time ago.

Might be a good side dish with fish, too.

I wish I could get my wife to do that. I like eggs in my pasta but she hates them.

Anyone ever had macaroni with ketchup?

In the spring when chickens were laying more eggs than what we knew what to do with, my mom was sticking them in everything at every meal. She appears to have missed one. Uhm no thank you.

I have mixed chili with macaroni and made goulash but not eggs interesting. Would substitute and grits or oatmeal.

My parents were short of money too sometimes and so we had that pasta/scrambled eggs thing also - but I never thought of it as a "poor man's dish". In fact I'm making it myself sometimes from leftover pasta. I fry the pasta with a little butter and then add some bacon and scrambled eggs. And @hanna260 , yes, ketchup goes very well with that, too! (not the healthiest of dishes, but brings back childhood memories which is always a good thing )

As FarawayFriend writes, I too have had macaroni with ketchup. Sometimes if have leftover macaroni, warm it for lunch and put ketchup on it.

Heck yeah! Our family puts ketchup on macaroni. Also uses ketchup on sauerkraut. (I prefer hot sauce on both)

As a Kraut of course I'm a sauerkraut lover, but I have never heard someone eat it with ketchup! We do it with onion and crisp little pieces of fried bacon ... and sometimes mixed with mashed potatoes.

Whoa, you make me reveal all my dark secrets here ...

We put sauerkraut over mashed potatoes, too. Your dark secrets are safe with us.

Sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and pasta sounds like we are talking about perogies.

Mmmh, not on this side of the pond. Here it's just sauerkraut and mashed potatoes (in this case. Of course I do also eat sauerkraut with pork, "Schweinshaxe" for example. I'm a bit short on time, otherwise I think we might all meet together in a sauerkraut thread. @donna sure has already opened one earlier.)

Personally I have replace all my ketchup use with Siracha sauce. Can't help it I like the spice.
