Yield 4 entree servings, 8 side servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil, 1 turn of the pan in a slow stream
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole or 2 percent milk
3 cups shredded white Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground or freshly grated

Gently cook, whisking flour and butter together, until smooth and flour has had a chance to cook, about 3 minutes. Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk.

MACARONI AND BEEF CASSEROLE



Macaroni and Beef Casserole image

This homey casserole was developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column. It is hearty sustenance that evokes memories of childhood and sweater weather. Its preparation is simple, but its flavors veer elegant. Sauté onions, celery, green peppers and garlic. Add the meat, then oregano, basil and tomatoes. Whisk together a quick Cheddar cheese bechamel that's seasoned with cayenne and nutmeg then pour it on top. At the last minute, sprinkle a little Parmesan on top and slide it under a broiler to brown. Serve with crisp green salad and a hunk of French bread. Comfort food at its finest.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 eggs

1 cup of frozen baby sweet peas
1 (25 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 cup milk
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
paprika

Steps:

  • Place eggs in medium saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil.

  • Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
