| Ingredients: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine cornstarch, salt, dry mustard and pepper in a large saucepan. Stir in evaporated milk, water and butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 3 cups of the cheese until melted. Add macaroni; mix well. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cup of cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and light brown. Makes 6 to 8 servings. |
Classic Pecan Pie
In addition to the usual pumpkin pie, I've also made a pecan pie the past two years. The recipe comes straight off the back of the KARO syrup bottle, and it's pretty darn good. One thing I've noticed, however, is that it tastes better made with the light KARO syrup rather than the dark variety. Preparation is fast and simple if you stick with the prepared frozen crust. All in all, a pretty darn tasty pie.
