Answers:
Oven Baked Mac N Cheese
tablespoon salt
1 pound elbow(1 box), shell or other bite-size shaped pasta
2 cans evaporated milk
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
pinch black pepper
1 pound grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in large soup kettle. Add salt and pasta. Using package directions as a guide, cook until al dente. Drain. To prevent sticking, drain and immediately pour onto a large lipped baking sheet and let cool while preparing sauce.
Meanwhile, microwave the milk and chicken broth in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup or bowl until hot and steamy (not boiling). Melt butter in the empty pasta pot; whisk in flour, then hot milk mixture. Continue to whisk until thick and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in mustard, Parmesan and pepper. Turn off heat, stir in cheddar until melted.
Add drained pasta (and optional flavoring ingredients, see notes) to sauce, and stir until everything is well combined over low heat. Stir to heat through, and thin with a little water if the sauce is too thick. Serve hot.
Hashbrown Casserole
1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Spray one 9x13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, onions, soup and cheese. Gently mix and pour into prepared pan or dish. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
Mayonaise Bisuits
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
8 tablespoons mayonnaise
1tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, milk, and mayonnaise until just blended. Drop by in to well sprayed muffin holes.
Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
Country Fried Steak
precubed sirloin steaks (about 4)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
2 teaspoons water
3 tablespoons canola oil
Gravy
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Place flour and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. In another shallow bowl, beat egg and water. Coat steaks with flour, then dip into egg mixture and coat with crumbs.
In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil over medium heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness. Remove and keep warm.
For gravy, stir flour into pan drippings until blended, loosening browned bits. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with steaks.
Peach Cobbler
1/2 cup margarine (the southern way is always use a little more butter than the recipe calls for)
2 cups self rising flour
1 cup white sugar
1 (29 ounce) can sliced peaches, juice reserved
Preheat oven to 350. Once oven reaches desired temperature, melt margarine in a glass 9x13 baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine floour and sugar. Pour reserved peach juice into dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Remove glass pan from oven and pour batter in starting in the center; batter will then spread itself over entire pan. Add peaches by placing them in center of pan; allow them to spread on their own.
Bake cobbler in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until brown on top.
