CHURCH SUPPER MACARONI AND CHEESE
It seems like there are endless recipe variations on macaroni and cheese; however my family is not a big fan of cheese sauce-based macaroni and cheese. It seems to dilute the cheese flavor. This simple but tasty recipe was given to me at a church supper in Terre Haute; it's old, definitely has German or Jewish (kugel?) roots. The secret is to use a good-quality EXTRA-SHARP Cheddar cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole with butter.
- Dissolve salt in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook macaroni, stirring often, until pasta is tender but still slightly firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse macaroni under cool water, drain, and transfer to a bowl. Stir 1/4 cup softened butter into macaroni and toss a few times to melt butter and coat macaroni.
- Beat eggs in a bowl; whisk evaporated and condensed milks into eggs.
- Spread a layer of macaroni into the bottom of the prepared casserole; sprinkle with a layer of Cheddar cheese. Continue layering macaroni and cheese, ending with a layer of cheese on top. Pour egg-milk mixture over the layers. Use a fork to gently dig into the layers, assuring that the egg-milk mixture flows into all the layers. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook bread crumbs in the hot butter, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle crumb topping over casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is browned and bubbling, about 45 minutes.

Steps:
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add chopped beet leaves and stems and sauté 5 minutes. Add corn and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Cook macaroni in large pot of rapidly boiling salted water just until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Return to pot. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir to coat. Add whipping cream and chopped ham to vegetable mixture in skillet and bring to boil. Pour over macaroni. Add grated cheddar cheese and stir to melt. Season macaroni to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer macaroni to serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: You don't want the macaroni to be too soft or mushy. Cook it according to the package directions, but taste it a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. It should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. It will help to prevent the sauce from becoming too thin or watery.
- Use milk or cream: Milk or cream will help to make the cheese sauce smooth and creamy. You can use whole milk, skim milk, or even half-and-half. If you're using cream, be careful not to add too much, or the sauce will become too thick.
- Season the sauce: Don't forget to season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Top with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers: To add a little bit of crunch to your macaroni and cheese, top it with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers before baking. This will also help to absorb any excess moisture from the sauce.
