One 7-oz package Creamettes
½ cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups evaporated milk
2 tbsp. flour
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Cook Creamettes as directed on package. Melt butter over low heat and stir into flour to form a smooth paste. Add milk, stirring constantly.
Add salt and pepper and cook until thickened.
Remove from heat. Place drained Creamettes in greased bake dish and mix in ½ the cheese.
Reheat sauce and mix with macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle heavily with rest of cheese and dot with 2 tbsp. of butter.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes in 300 degree oven. If crust is desired (And it would be a shame not to
have it) place in broiler for a few minutes or until brown.
Serves six or one helping for Rosie.

Slather on plate and do not be shy about asking for seconds. Next day leftovers are great in the microwave. Fill paper plate with mac `n cheese, cover with second paper plate and zap for 1 ½ - 2 minutes.
Enjoy and invite me over.

8 potatoes, peeled, boiled, and mashed

1 cup finely chopped onion

½ cup chopped green pepper

6 or more tablespoons of beef broth

½ cup heavy cream

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Parmesan cheese

Optional, hot sauce to taste

Directions:

Brown ground beef and sauté onions and peppers in 2 tablespoons of butter until golden. Mix ground beef with onions, peppers, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and optional hot sauce (I like 1
tablespoon). Salt and pepper to taste.

Add a few tablespoons of beef broth and cook, covered, over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, adding more broth as necessary to keep moist. Beat egg yolks until light, then in another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. (Not you – the whites)
Beat the yolks, cream, 6 tablespoons of butter and garlic powder into hot mashed potatoes. Gently fold in beaten egg whites. Put meat mixture into casserole then top with potato mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake at 350 degrees until potato topping is puffed and
browned, about 25 to 35 minutes.
Serves 8 or one real hungry construction worker.
