How can we truly minister, if we cannot see or understand the need?!
In the months after Grant's homegoing, I have literally thrown myself into a bunch of projects. One such project is cooking. I've always liked to cook for the most part, but let me tell ya- I'm no Rachael Ray. (love her!) In spite of this truth, I keep striving to keep things new and different. If you're NOT Rachael Ray, this is no easy task- at least for me! A couple of weeks ago, I found a great recipe online. I wish I could say I came up with it all on my own, but alas, this one is not mine to claim. Well, it was a crowd pleaser- if you can call Jake and Kris a crowd, that is. It is very simple, but very tasty indeed. Here it is, and I hope you enjoy it!
Beefy Barbecue Macaroni
Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground beef (ground turkey was tasty too)
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked)
3/4 cup barbeque sauce
1/4 tsp pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup milk ( I used 1 cup )
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
Additional Cheddar Cheese (optional)
Directions:
In a skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add macaroni, barbecue sauce, pepper and cayenne; mix well. In a saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. Stir in cheese until melted. Pour over the macaroni mixture and mix gently.
***Here is where I tried something new- I dumped it all in an oven casserole dish, sprinkled more cheese on top and baked for 10-15 min. at 350 degrees.
Makes 4 Servings. (We had enough leftovers for one more night)
The kids will love this one- you shouldn't have any picky eaters the night you fix this!
Let me know if you try it!
