yep,, may be late wed as well.. usually back early afternoon, but might not be till evening this time.

Going up with hubby or any friends?

Well here's my contribution to the task, and if you like cheese you should find it delicious !!!!





Macaroni Cheese á la Tizzy (as made by my mother and her mother before her) - This is one of my favourite meals !



Utensils

Oven ! (pre-heat to Gas Mark 6)

1 x 4 pint (2 litre +) deep Pyrex dish

Set of kitchen scales

Cheese grater

Small kitchen knife



Ingredients ( sufficient for 6 good portions )

I lb (500G) Dry Macaroni pasta. (I prefer the Cavatappi pasta - it's fatter and like

twirly hollow hose pipe and keeps it's shape better !! )

1 lb (500 G) Full flavour cheddar cheese (grated )

6 thick slices of dryish bread (grated) (if not dry, could toast to make it easier to grate)

1/2 pint ish - milk

Butter or spread.

Onion (finely chopped) - amount depends on your preference.

White pepper ( depends on preference )

Thyme ( depends on preference )

Chives (depends on preference)

Sliced tomatoe (for garnish)

Method

Turn on oven !

Boil pasta till cooked (poss. 15 mins )

Grate cheese

Grate bread

Scoop some butter (or spread) with some cling film or grease-proof paper and smear all round the inside of the pyrex dish.

When pasta cooked, pour into collander and rinse under cold tap to separate the pieces of pasta, place still in collander on top of sauce pan to drain.

Pour a layer of pasta in base of pyrex

Gently pour sufficient milk into pyrex to nearly cover this first layer of pasta.

Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over layer of pasta, sufficient to cover all the pasta.

Sprinkle the chopped onions, chives, thyme, pepper - all fairly well spread but don't swamp the cheese because there is another layer to come !

Pour another layer of pasta over the grated cheese in the pyrex. No need for any more milk.

Repeat as above.

I find that two layers is enough to more or less fill the pyrex, so guage the amounts accordingly.

Gently pour the bread crumbs evenly on top.

Place nobs of butter (or spread) all over the top of the bread crumbs, also any grated cheese you may have left.

Place the slices of tomato evenly on the top to garnish.

Place in the middle of the pre-heated oven and cook for 30 mins, the top of the macaroni cheese should be nicely browned and crispy and delicious !

Serve hot (or can be eaten cold - my sister loves it cold !), either on it's own or with some vegetables of your choice.

ENJOY !!!

I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok you lot Mrs sort it out is here, girls start to clean up those feathers please.

Boys, rustle up some jellied eels, mash and liquor with a nice glass of chilled wine and sherry trifle for afters. Need it ready for when Carol gets back ok...

Now then Carol, I know for a fact that really is Kay's recipe as she has told us about it before in Kevs thread and its not word perfect same but more or less so I think in this instance you need to cut the ozzie a little slack.

My recipes

Corned Beef Hash

Ingredients:

Tin of corned beef (not cheap, best you can afford)

Bag of spuds, I like red rooster.

Mushrooms

Onions

Grated cheese

Butter and milk

Method

Boil potatoes, use your own discretion on how many depending on how many your feeding, I usually use 2-3lb...

If your going to use like 5lb bag to feed 5 people, you may need 2 tins of corned beef.

Cut and dice Onion and mushrooms ( I use red onions or shallots)

fry off onion in a knob of butter for 5 mins and then add mushrooms till cooked.

Drain potato well, add cubed up corned beef, cooked onion and mushroom and some milk and butter and mash together. (I use the saucepan that I boiled the potato in)

Transfer to pyrex dish, checking all ingredients have been mixed well, top with grated cheese and pop in the oven for 20-25 mins on gas mark 6..

Serve with veg of your choice or baked beans...

Quick cheese pasta

Ingredients

pasta

creme freche

grated cheese

measurements depend on how much pasta you use, I tend to add a tablespoon at a time and do a taste test.

Method

Boil pasta of your choice and drain but leave in pan

add 1-2 tablespoons of creme freche and grated cheese and stir.

If cheese isnt melting to your satisfaction, pop it back on the hob for half a minute but on a low heat and keep stirring or it will burn
