Johnny Jalapeno's 'jumpin Wagon Wheels!' Macaroni and Cheese

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:26:36 -0400

This is a firey dish chock full of goodies. Legend tells that Yankee Doodle went to town in a wagon pulled by his young horse. On his way, one of the wheels to the wagon hit a large rock in the road. Well, the wheel went a flyin! He brought it back to the wagon and there he was, stuck on the side of the road and no way to fix his wagon. Just then, the McDaniel gang rode up, and in their traditional 'Robin Hood' ways, set out to fix the wheel, while Johnny fixed up a down-home campfire lunch. After this delicious meal, Yankee Doodle was so elated by Johnny's wonderful dish, he gave Johnny the wagon so he could travel with his recipes and cookware in a more formidable fashion. The only gift Johnny could reciprocate with was a beautiful injun feather he had found along his many trails. Well, Yankee doodle got up on his pony, stuck the feather in his hat and said "Thanks for the macaroni!" For an all-out exlusive dish, spoon some of Recipe #395692 over top! -- posted by 2Bleu

Sausage Mac N Cheese

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:31:20 -0400

Total comfort food! This yummy dish is made by my grandmother at every family get together. You can use mild or spicy sausage, but I find that even though I love spicy foods, mild sausage works best in this recipe. I hope you like it! -- posted by Lauren Kay

Macaroni With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Pancetta Sauce

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:15:36 -0400

This is the weeknight version of my Recipe#368572- same great flavour but quicker and easier to make. If you use another type of pasta, you may need 2 cups as macaroni is small and dense. Also feel free to substitute bacon for the pancetta- it works just as well. -- posted by Shuzbud

Veggie-Stuffed Macaroni and Cheese

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:36:19 -0400

Mexican Noodle Bake (Meatless)

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:12:41 -0400

I got this recipe from a cooking group on freezer meals. It comes from the book Frozen Assets Lite & Easy by Deborah Taylor Hough. My family loves this, and bonus, if you make it ahead and freeze it, it is a very fast meal on a night you don't feel like cooking! This recipe makes a lot, so I usually freeze half and bake half when I make it. We had this again last night for dinner and I wanted to post it so everyone else could enjoy it too! This is good served with sour cream and salad. -- posted by Quiltingqueen

Double-Dutch Mac & Cheese With Chard

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:34:39 -0400

This is a rich and delicious macaroni & cheese from Bon Appétit Magazine (May 2009). You can use any combination of good melting cheeses such as Gruyere, Emmentaler, Fontina, or cheddar. It works with kale, chard, or spinach. If you omit the greens, this also makes a great traditional mac & cheese. If you want a creamier macaroni & cheese, just add a little more milk until you get the desired consistency. -- posted by blucoat

Beef and Noodle Bake

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:44:05 -0400

Very easy and yummy dinner that you can customize in your own way or just do it like the recipe shows! I've used more meat and/or noodles if I wanted it to be thicker, I would put about 1.5 lbs of meat and 2+ cups of macaroni. I've added a small can of sliced mushrooms and a handful or 2 of chopped onions to change it up a bit and that tasted great as well! You can also try different kinds of spaghetti sauces! You can also use ground turkey for this! -- posted by Chef #1353947

American Goulash

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:09:16 -0400

Growing up in Boston, I never knew that this 50's "once-a-week-at-home dinner" and "once-a-week-at-school lunch" was a regional dish! I still make this probably once every 2 weeks. Easy, cheap and comfort food all rolled into one huge pot!

This is a nice change from the typical burger or parmesan topped spaghetti sauce. Easy, tasty and the kids like it! I also like that it is a one dish meal. You can use any small pasta in place of the wheat. I use home canned tomato puree but you can replace that with two 28 ounce cans of tomato sauce and 2 cups of water. Serve on top or on the side with frozen corn that is steamed. -- posted by RussianMama

Mimi's American Chop Suey

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:02:22 -0400

When I was little my mom made this recipe a lot. It was during World War II and it was very inexpensive to prepare. I loved it. I guess you would call it a comfort food for me as I was always so happy when I asked, "What's for supper" and Ma answered, "Chop Suey". She never called it "American Chop Suey" except on her recipe card. It was always "Chop Suey". I can't believe that I haven't posted this as I still make it often. I guess I figured it wasn't fancy enough and everyone knew about it, but because I don't want to lose it, I am posting it now. You will have most the ingredients in your pantry and freezer--there are only five plus salt and pepper. -- posted by Mimi in Maine

This is different from most mac and cheese with tomatoes recipes, as it does not use flour or milk. It's good for potluck suppers. My boyfriend made this with no low-fat adjustments, and it was pretty darn good. I personally would have used low-fat cheese and yogurt instead of sour cream. This was from the October 2009 edition of Country Living magazine. It's really easy to make too. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Dairy Free Chicken Pasta Primavera (Gluten Free)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:19:44 -0400

I created this and it is delicious and dairy free! Pasta primavera is an Italian-American dish that consists of pasta and vegetables. A meat such as chicken, sausage or shrimp is sometimes added, but the focus of primavera is the vegetables themselves. The dish may contain almost any kind of vegetable, but cooks tend to stick to firm, crisp vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, peas, onions and green bell peppers, with tomatoes. Pasta primavera is usually highlighted by light flavors, aromatic herbs and bright colors ('primavera' meaning the season of spring). Classic pasta primavera is based on a soffritto of garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese, but versions based on a heavier cream or Alfredo sauce are also common. Though recipes for cold pasta primavera may be found, they are best classified as antipasti, or appetizers. Pastas served with this dish are typically smaller shapes, such as penne, farfalle, rigatoni and fusilli. If using longer types of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, the vegetables are normally sliced in thin strips to match the shape of the noodles. -- posted by UmmBinat

I ran out of ideas one night and got tired of hearing "I don't know" when I asked my family what they wanted for dinner. So when I told them I was making this, I got funny looks. Let's just say there was very little left for leftovers that night. :) The only suggestion I got was my son wanted to try this with broccoli next time. Sure helps stretch the budget. If you plan it right(with supermarket sales), this meal would cost you roughly $5. to make. -- posted by Chef #409295

Garbanzo/Chickpea Pumpkin Macaroni Casserole

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:55:31 -0400

Spicy goodness! Pumpkin's not just for dessert anymore either-- and this is a fun casserole that has elements of Latin and Middle Eastern cooking. Best of all, you don't even have to use the stove to make the sauce! It is a very thick and rich sauce. The pumpkin base is very hearty and delicious, and is jam-packed with Vitamin A and lycopene. The garbanzos (chickpeas) are loaded with protein and cold-press olive oil is good for your heart (so it's a good fat instead of bad fats like in vegetable oils and shortening.) You won't believe this yummy casserole is healthy. :) This is a totally vegetarian dish, but if you want to vegan-ize it, you can use soy, hemp or almond "cheese", skip it altogether, or use some soy silken tofu. Meat lovers might want to throw in ground beef, and/or use chicken or beef stock/broth instead of veggie broth. I made this up myself, and love it! I make it when I know I have a busy week ahead and can easily get about 4 meals out of it for just me. -- posted by the80srule

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:34:25 -0500

My family adores this, and it reheats quite nicely. This is *NOT* a low-fat recipe. I use cream when I have it on-hand, or a combination of cream and milk. I use whatever cheese I have on-hand, or I will pick up blocks of cheddar and/or Monterey jack, basically anything that will melt nicely. I avoid using the pre-shredded cheese, because they have a dusting of flour to keep them from clumping in the bag, and throws off the recipe in use. Tool cleanup gets interesting, too. I also use whatever small pasta I have onhand - macaroni, rotini, shells, etc. -- posted by SnoBahr

Gourmet Mac & Cheese W/ Lots of Variations

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:17:50 -0500

Tweak the spices to your liking. I like it also without the paprika, but garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Also try making it cheesier or adding or substituting cheeses. I've made an excellent one with brie. I've also used canned tuna instead of chicken for a quicker version. I have also experimented with different seasonings and rubs for the chicken or tuna, including celery salt, cayenne, rosemary, cumin, etc. Changing the pasta also greatly changes the flavor as well, in my opinion. Can be made with dried spices but I recommend fresh! To go above and beyond, you can also bake the finished casserole with a breadcrumb or other topping. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Jamie Oliver Mac N Cheese

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:02:17 -0500

Jamie: ''Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any tubular pasta you want. I've made this dish my own by lightening it with sweet tomatoes and given it some crunch with delicious breadcrumbs. Just you wait till you try it! This dish isn't going to win any prizes in the nutrition department, but you can, and should, balance it with a nice salad. If you only have it once in a while as a special treat it'll do you no harm." Haven't tried it yet but it sounds so good so posted for safe keeping..

Easy and versitile mac and cheese recipe. I adapted this from a recipe I found on the back of a box of elbows. I especially like that you don't cook the pasta in advance. -- posted by closet chef in ma

Yummy!! Free up your oven and cook this classic dish in your crock pot! I made this is my taller older, 4 qt. crock pot rather than my new larger oval shaped one that tends to run hot. This could also be baked in the oven if necessary. -- posted by KPD

All American Mac & Cheese

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:05:01 -0500

Okay maybe this dish isn't quite all American. But it does put two all American classics together. I got the idea one day when I was hungry for Apple Pie, and Mac & Cheese. But I couldn't figure out which one to make, so I put the two together and BAM! -- posted by Charity_Cooker

Hearty Mac & Cheese

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:35:54 -0500

This was adapted from an Ellie Krieger recipe. I made a few of my own tweaks. A friend of mine challenged me to find a mac & cheese recipe that wouldnt leave us feeling like we ate our entire body weight in fattening dairy. I know it sounds strange to use squash as the base for the cheese sauce, but it actually worked. The dish doesnt taste like squash. Its nice and creamy with a crispy, browned top. If youre looking for a light alternative to many peoples favorite comfort food, give this a try. -- posted by Diet It Up
