What exactly does 'goopy" mean? I am not familiar with that as a cooking term except for the stuff you find stuck under the counter the kids didn't want. ewww!
For sauces, try tomatoes, broths, soups - but watch the salt in those. You are better to make your own. Powdered milk is a great thickener from powder, not made up.
1 sprays cooking spray
8 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow
10 3/4 oz Campbell's (U.S.) 98% Fat-Free Cream Of Celery Soup
1 cup fat-free mayonnaise
8 oz low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded
1/2 medium sweet red pepper(s), chopped
6 oz canned pimento
1 serving Nabisco Triscuit Thin crisps, or Original Air Crisps mashed into crumbs, roughly 20 crisps
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9 X 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, about 7 minutes; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add soup, mayonnaise, cheese, pepper and pimentos; mix well to combine.
3. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and top with cracker crumbs.
4. Bake, uncovered, until top is golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.
* I don't know the calories, but it has 6pts, which is like one Tim Horton's bagel, which is pretty good overall. I didn't find it very goopy though. But perhaps goopy depends upon individual definition :D
