Evening

Geez I can never get my timing right, I came earlier cause I thought I was on the naughty corner. Then I went and had pies for tea.

Hi @Stout 

@Dimity 

Thanks for the inspo, I am making the macaroni cheese. Just gotta make the cheese sauce now. Then I will put it in a dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese and pop it in the oven for 30 minutes 

What are you having for dinner @Stout

Hi @Shaz51 

[Dimity]

Sounds yum @Oaktree 

My family's macaroni cheese recipe has eggs milk and cheese so it sets firm rather than a sauce.

My chicken-veg-macaroni bol thing was very nice.

Hope you enjoyed your pies @Stout . Sorry re timing.

@Dimity 

I chop up and fry 3 rashers bacon 

fry with oregano, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar 1 onion

Cook a whole packet of small pasta shells

mix all that together in large bowl 

Make a large amount of white sauce

add a handful or two of cheese to hot sauce and whisk till melted 

pour cheese sauce over pasta mix

put in casserole dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese 

put in oven for 30mins brown cheese

voila!

That sounds very tasty @Oaktree and is completely different to the macaroni cheese my mother and grandmother made.

Their recipe was ad hoc but was basically cooked macaroni, beaten eggs.  lashings of milk, and lots of grated cheddar, with more cheese on top. Grandma liked to mix in chopped tomato and onion but my mother didn't bother. Baked in a moderate oven until set, and the cheese on top toasted. Comfort food.

I'll try your recipe.
