Bacon Bake

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:11:10 -0400

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

Everyone that tastes it wants the recipe. It's the best mac & cheese you'll ever eat :) Wish I could say it was a family recipe or something, but after being married for a few months, I wanted to make mac & cheese so I grab a box of elbow noodles at the grocery and made the recipe in the back. Never tried another after. -- posted by French Canadian Chef

Gourmet Butternut Squash Macaroni & Cheese

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:48:53 -0400

My sister clipped this from the Bucks County Courier Times because this foodie loves squash and mac n cheese, so the two of them together = heaven. I'm posting the recipe here for safekeeping although I'm probably going to tweak it according to size and budget (do you know what Locatelli cheese is...? I'll probably just use cheddar. And I'm too lazy to cut a piece of squash, I'm using that frozen pureed squash!) And I'll probably skip the panko topping or at least do it un-buttered to save on calories. -- posted by the80srule

Fontina and Mascarpone Mac N" Cheese

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:02:18 -0400

Mac n" Cheese made different in that it uses Fontina and Marscarpone cheese. I have adapted this recipe which was loosley based on a recipe from Cooking Light. Since I always have Marscarpone floating around, it was a given that I would try this recipe. The soft fontina problem can be solved easily by placing the fontina in the freezer for a half hour. Fontina definately comes from the smelly cheese family . Some options: You can add more nutmeg and tabasco for more of a kick...add some parmesan cheese for part of the other cheese....adding some ham. I always seem to have whipping cream or half and half around...I would finish this up and top it with the 1% milk. (definately takes the recipe out of the "light" catagory!!) Marscarpone cheese too expensive? Try Recipe #66077. I always cook my pasta using Recipe #30358. -- posted by Abby Girl

This is just good 'ol mac and cheese- rich, creamy and satisfying. Any cheese you like can be put in there, and any shaped noodle will work (though I think elbows, penne and rotini work best). Whole milk makes a richer mac and cheese, but didn't miss it here (and dh only will drink whole milk!). This will serve 8 adults a main course, more if there are kids or as a side. -- posted by newmama

Snobahr's Baked Mac 'n Cheese

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..

This was a total experiment. For my first try it actually didn't come out too bad.

This is a lightened up version of the macaroni and cheese my mom used to make, and a recipe that I've been making for many years now. It has a mild flavor and is very creamy and delicious. I am posting this to see the calorie content. -- posted by Lola59

Beef Pronto

An easy, economical and tasty meal. My mother would make this for our family of 12 quite often and we always looked forward to it. I always add more tarragon. In place of the cheddar cheese, I melt Velveeta on top. Quick, easy and delicious. Enjoy! -- posted by Penelope P

I picked this recipe up from a friend while living in Ireland. I believe it's actually a philipino recipe. Regardless of it's origins it's simple and delicious. Perfect for a warm summer day. -- posted by Banriona Aeval

This classic comfort food dish goes upscale with the tasty addition of shrimp, crab, cream and fresh basil. For a change, I have added half a bag of steamed baby spinach to the mixture -- posted by Abby Girl

All American Mac & Cheese

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
