Stewed Cheese Food

STEWED CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut onions to your preference. My Father and daughter prefer big chunky onions, where my and I prefer minced.
• Boil water and onions until soft and clear.
• Add cheese a little at a time until melted. We use a mixture of soft and hard cheese.
• Make plenty of toast! Butter if you wish but it is really only added calories as you can not taste the butter.
• Scoop stewed cheese over toast and eat while hot!
• You can add as little or as much cheese/onion/water as you like. (Hence easy to stretch). If you like it thicker you can add cornstarch. You can also add ham if you like. I prefer it without the ham.
• Leftovers can be frozen for up to six months. Just reheat. More cheese and onions can also be added with each reheat.

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH STEWED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook macaroni according to package directions and drain, rinse and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, heat the 3 cups of milk, butter, salt and pepper until hot but not boiling.
• In a small bowl or cup, combine 1/4 cup of milk with the cornstarch and stir until dissolved.
• Slowly add this to the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk.
• When mixture has thickened, remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of the cheese until melted.
• Pour pasta into a large mixing bowl and add the cheese mixture and the stewed tomatoes.
• Mix well until macaroni is well coated.
• Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish or 3 quart casserole and top with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 35 to 45, or until golden brown.
