mousmeI made another casserole on Sunday. This time it rocked even more than the first one.
I started out by cooking about half a pound of ground beef with onion and garlic, then sauteed a whole bunch of mushrooms in butter, which I added to the beef once they were almost completely cooked.
Added this to a base of macaroni, along with cream of mushroom soup as a sauce, and carrots and broccoli (steamed in advance).
Seasoned to taste with onion and garlic salt (yes, I splurged and bought both over the weekend), as well as parsley, basil and a dash of pepper.
It was pretty spectacular when I finished it, and even reheated it's still pretty damned amazing.
The funny part of the story is, of course, when the bag of macaroni ripped, spilling about half its contents into the pot. I saved more than half of that for another time this week, when I'll make macaroni and cheese. See, I got more macaroni since my last batch was invaded by weevils. I think I have the weevil infestation under control now (everything that was contaminated has been thrown away, and everything else kept away from the contaminated areas), which is a good thing. Nothing grosser than finding dead weevils in your food. Or live ones, for that matter.
My mother has this great macaroni and cheeserecipe, where you start with a white sauce and melt cheese into it (cheese of your choice, of course) and pour that over the macaroni. Season to taste with garlic salt and pepper. Then grate more cheese (again your choice) over the top and set it in the oven for a while. Set the oven at broil for about five minutes or until the top turns a gorgeous golden brown.
Serve hot. :)

karine for sending me a boatload of delicious-looking recipes. I'm all a-quiver now to try them out.

o_O The neighbours are listening to weird music. I can't even tell what it is, except that it's discordant. Am annoyed. This is the same neigbour who left me a note with more swearwords than anything else in my mailbox complaining that my alarm clock is too loud in the morning. I kid you not.
Sheesh. "Hello Kettle? This is the pot. I am calling to inform you that you are black."
Meh.
Going to bed now.
