Using several recipes I created this casserole. It melds a lot of different flavors. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package all beef wieners, chopped to preferred size (rounds or half rounds) |
2 cups cooked macaroni (any type) |
2 cups shredded velveeta cheese |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
4 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 medium onion, diced |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 (16 ounce) can of bbq baked beans |
1 tablespoon garlic |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups 2% low-fat milk |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. Prepare macaroni as directed, using ham stock instead of water.
3. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a skillet.
4. Add diced onion and caramelize.
5. Add chili powder.
6. Add chopped hot dogs.
7. Fry until hot dogs are cooked through.
8. Combine macaroni, velvetta, hot dog mixture (drained), beans, and garlic.
9. Pour in a 9X13 pan that is well greased (I use Pam).
10. Melt remaining butter in a saucepan.
11. Whisk flour into saucepan until it mixed well with the butter.
12. Remove from heat.
13. Add milk slowing, whisking well to avoid clumping.
14. Return mixture to heat, flavor with salt and pepper.
15. Bring to a boil, continuing to whisk.
16. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove from heat and pour evenly over the macaroni mixture.
17. Top with cheddar cheese.
18. Bake for 25 minutes until cheese at the top is bubbly.
