There's nothing fancy with this nor is it intended to be more than a
basic dinner.

Baked Mac-n-cheese

1 16oz box elbow noodles, boiled to al dente (13 minutes here) then
drained

2 small cans evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)

1.5 cups cubed cheese (had a white and about 1/2 cup velveeta)

Drain pasta and add cheese then milk cans and top with some dehydrated
onions bits and french fried onions.

I served it with buttermilk rye bread and steamed cabbage with a little
roasted sesame oil.

I do know they hide them on the bottom shelf though if that helps.

That's not how I make mine at all. And isn't evaporated milk rather
expensive? I have not bought any since my kid was a toddler.

I just cook the macaroni, make a white sauce and add cheese to it. I do not
personally care for Velveeta in mac and cheese. I think it gives it a weird
texture.

I cook 8oz of small shells in 2c milk for 11 min (keep it at about
180º). The starch from the pasta thickens the milk creating the white
sauce. Then just add cheese and any spices or seasoning. Optionally I
add browned ground beef with a bit of tomato sauce. If you want to, put
it in a dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs and place under a broiler.

Hi Julie, evaporated milk is not expensive. It's about 40cents a can
at that small size and 88cents if you get a double sized one. Since I
use it in 1/2 can (40 cents sorts) most of the time, it makes more
sense to get that size here.

Works for me! The one I used then was a Cabot brand white mxed with a
store brand velveeta knock off. Worked well!

I like Cabots "Seriously Sharp" white cheddar.
Right now, I'm having a snack of cracker, slice of apple and cheese.

I find that just about any cheddar goes with macaroni including the so-called cheese food from Kraft.
We are just making mac and cheese, not some gourmet dish for Royalty.

Brisket Stuffed Mac and Cheese
Recipe courtesy of Scott Hall, Bone-In Artisan BBQ

Or:

http://www.fabulousfoods.com/article...mac-and-cheese

Barbecue mac and cheese

Yields 8 servings

There's a culinary trend towards making everything simple into something
gourmet. Even mac and cheese, the most basic of comfort foods, has
gotten the all-star treatment and has been turned into legendary fare
like this dish. It has bacon (which is never bad) and a homemade beer
cheese sauce that is actually baked on the grill.

Ingredients:

1 pound elbow macaroni
Salt
Cooking spray, diced
4 strips smoky bacon, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups wheat beer
2 cups cheddar cheese
1/2 cup brisket

I just tried a new Mac & Cheese restaurant in Manchester, NH called Mr. Mac.. It was really good. There are about 15 or 20 different combos. The one I had was macaroni, Cabot Cheddar cheese, pieces of white meat chicken, and bacon, with a small drizzle of Ranch dressing on the top, which gave it a little tang. It's served in a cast iron frying pan. The place was busy, with lots of people doing takeout. I asked if it was a chain restaurant, but the manager said no, but they'd like to expand eventually. My order was about $8, also available in a larger size (for 2), and a much larger family size. They said their most popular was Buffalo chicken mac and cheese, and Philly steak mac and cheese. Actually, I've never found a Mac and cheese I didn't like.

Thats what I used. Harris Teeter had a by 2 get 3 free sale about 3
weeks ago. I used about 1/2 a block for the Mac-N-Cheese.

A bazillion ways to make it! Mine was simple and frankly other than
amounts for baking, I don't stock milk here much so tend to not think
of it but rather deflect to alternatives ;-)

If I want a white sauce, I snag some small milk container from 7-11
(there's one in a close walk from here). Not the cheapest milk, but
there's no waste so in the end, saves money vs tossing out excess milk
all the time.

I agree. I like the mix and match of types of cheeses in there. The
store brand 'velveeta knock off' is no different from velveeta, just
1/2 the price. Made all with that velveeta type, doesnt spark my
interest but kept to no more than 1/3 the cheeses used and mix and
match the rest with others, you can get really nice mac-n-cheese.

Looked at the store this morning. They have them here. They are on the
bottom shelf now like someone mentioned. They used to be more on the
middle shelves.

Anyway, 5oz cans of Carnation and Pet evaporated or condensed - $1.19

Then they have the 12oz cans for a much better deal. Store brands for
$1.00 and $1.25. Brand names for $1.59

Humm!

12 oz nestle Carnation - 57cents
Store brand 5oz, 10/6$

Thats the sales that kicked over this Wed. Normally 88 and 47cents
respectively (I made a typo earlier of 40 cents for the smaller can, it
was 47cents).

Where you shopping Gary? Thats the 3333 Virginia Beach BLVD HT prices.

Not specific store, but Krogers, Lion King? What?

I get powdered milk in bulk for just such a purpose. It's there if I
need it and it doesn't have the smell or taste of canned milk.

Powdered milk has its own weird smell and taste, so it's all about
what you're used to.

I used to use it for stuff like that and still keep a small packet in case I
run out but I can get milk for $1 at Dollar Tree. It's shelf stable and
nobody complains about it. Nobody here is much of a milk drinker but once
in a while they will have some. I normally get a quart and have to throw
some out as it spoils. That's how little we use.

It does but I've used it in cooking and baking for many years and nobody
seems to notice. I would never ever make a pitcher of it and expect it to
be used for drinking or cereal like my mom sometimes did.

I like the taste of evaporated milk as a topping. I keep a can in
the pantry (and some canned apricots to pour it on) for powercut food.

My grandkids are very interested in food-play and imaginary
recipes, which I indulge if I think they'll eat the result. Last week
one of them claimed pirates eat "jellyfish pudding".

I had a packet of raspberry jelly in the pantry; dissolved the cubes in
boiled water, made up the volume with evap; when it was just about to
set, whisked it to fill it with airy honeycomb bubbles. Set it in a
shallow dish, chilled and turned it out. Jellyfish pudding; pirates
love it.

I looked at prices at Farm Fresh. Luckily, I wasn't buying just
looking. I see the HT prices in the weekly food ad. Much better
prices.

She may have been talking about sweetened condensed milk; hence
her distinction between evaporated and condensed.

Condensed milk (here) is sweetened, and very thick.
Evaporated milk is a thinner, pouring consistency and unsweetened.

Condensed milk is popular for topping shave ice over here. It's called a "snow cap."

Same here. Although I often say "sweetened condensed milk", just
to be sure my listener is on the same page as me. Especially
when it's "Honey, would you pick up a can of..."

It's the same here. He got the milks mixed up. He'd know evaporated
from condensed if he'd ever made pumpkin pie using the recipe on a
Libby's can.

LOL! I can't imagine it on toast! Loved the jelleyfish version though!
Serously creative.

It depends on the week but in the long run, the main thing might be to
select a store and learn it's sales well. They happen in regular
cycles. If you hit a main thing your really *need* large lots of, get
it then when it's on a big sale.

Don for example is Pepsi specific. By 2 get 3 free for 12 packs this
week. Limit is 10 per day but happens every 8-10 weeks or so and you
can go back every day for a week until you have whatever stock level
you need.

The big thing with HT, is you need to get the evic card then sign up
for the emails. The email is a single one, and come only twice a week.
You'd have found the BOGO 'Better For Bread' flour was .97 each (limit
2) today. Since I bake all our bread, thats a major one here. Quality
bread machine flour of 10lbs for 1.96?

Basically I just paid 120$ for 197$ worth of food *today*. I'm doing
the big food runs for the local Mayflower run but advance of it, using
the yahoo local freecycle to help more directly. 2 full Turkey dinners
(complete with dessert pie makings), gravy, stuffing, and so forth have
gone out today.

Hope your day was as good feeling!

A friend who lives in NC just PM'd me about $3 shrimp on the coast.
I'd make the drive just for myself if they could be had at that price
here.

Evaporated milk, unsweetened and liberally applied kicks warm peach pie
to another level in a bowl. It's a poor man's peaches and cream and a
favorite of mine.

A can of condensed milk (eaten with spoon, the whole can) has to be
high on my mental list called The End is Nigh menu. That's all the
deliciously rich unhealthy booze cholesterol chocolate and fat laden
treats we virtuously ration for decades to stay healthy and fit.

Once it's all too late and the Dr says "Sorry, no more we can do" I
intend to pig my way through the End is Nigh list as many times as
possible. Even if it kills me, LOL; way to go.

Loved the jelleyfish version though!

I'm waiting for spring when the nettles start to grow, when Grandchild
wants to make his invented recipe "Potato cheese and nettle pie".
My granny used to cook fresh nettles in spring to "cleanse the blood"
whatever that meant.
