Macaroni and Cheese

Marthas Macaroni And Cheese

10 Servings

1 Lb Macaroni
Coarse salt
6 Tbl butter
1/4 Cup flour
4 Cup milk
1/8 Tsp cayenne
1/8 Tsp ground nutmeg
3 Cup cheddar cheese, Shredded
1 Cup Parm cheese, Finely Grated
3 Cup fresh breadcrumbs, Coarse

1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water 1 to 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and return to pot. 2. Meanwhile, heat 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; cook, whisking, 1 minute. Add milk, cayenne, nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons salt; bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in cheeses until smooth. Pour over pasta; toss to coat. Divide among baking dishes. 3. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; toss with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle over pasta. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; freeze up to 3 months. 4. Preheat oven to 375. Place frozen dishes on a baking sheet; remove plastic. Cover with foil. Bake until bubbling, 60 to 70 minutes for large dishes, 40 to 50 minutes for small. Remove foil; continue baking until golden, 5 to 10 minutes more.
If youd like to cook and serve this meal immediately (rather than freezing it), bake uncovered until golden and bubbling, twenty to thirty minutes. You can also freeze portions now, then bake them as needed for quick weeknight meals. Note: This recipe makes enough for two 2-quart or eight 12- to 16-ounce baking dishes.

3. Tuna Noodle Casserole

1 large package of egg noodles
1 large can chunk light tuna or two small (the good kind):) (drained)
2 cans cream of Mushroom Soup (undiluted)
3 green onions (chopped)
1 can of medium pitted black olives (drained and sliced)
reserve 1/3 can whole olives for top of casserole
1 package of broccoli flowets (sliced)
3 hard cooked Eggs (sliced)
1 medium box of Velveeta cheese (grated)
Butter (for dabbing)
about 3/4 cup to 1 cup of Milk
Salt and pepper

Note: This recipe started out to be just a plain tuna and noodle casserole, but as the years progressed, I added a layer of cooked broccoli flowets, and then a layer of hard cooked eggs and then the whole black olives.. If you don't think you will like one of the layers, just leave it out.. it will be good anyway :)

Put Package of velveeta cheese in freezer for about 15 min before you begin to grate it, it is very hard to grate it at room temperature. Cook noodles according to package directions.. drain and set aside. In medium bowl, combine tuna, cream of mushroom soup and chopped green onions. Butter a large rectangular pan 9 X 13 X 2 and begin your layers.. As long as you put the tuna mixture, noodles, and cheese as a layer, you can then add one of the other ingredients as a layer. Be sure to sprinkle salt and pepper after adding the tuna mixture..

Layer like this
Start with:

Then add milk to the casserole slowly until you see it peek up over the noodles just a bit, cover with velveeta cheese, and top with reserved 1/3 can of whole black olives. Bake at 400 F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbly.
