original recipe stuff

Originally the Mac and cheese called for Gorganzola (blue cheese) we switched it to feta but you can always use blue... Also it called for Beer brine bacon &. Black Forrest ham, you can choose any type of bacon or ham to your liking... A third meat is called for... Andullie Sausage (can not really spell well) but add any type you like also.. Thanks and check the past blogs for recipes and more

SPECIAL EDITION COOKING SHOW!!!

We are doing a very special Travel Edition of Cooking for the Boys LIVE! & Lucios on Live
This Wednesday at 6:30pm central & 7:30pm eastern.
We will be making two great Comfort Food dishes live on the Internet and follow it up with some very lively conversation...
So don't miss out on the fun....

Melissa's Mac n Cheese (I love cheese)

Elbow macoroni (or any other cool pasta shape you like)
Cheese--- Swiss (gruyere) cheddar (mild to medium) feta crumbles
Ham
Bacon
Bread crumbs ( I prefer Panko with no seasoning) your favorite type..
Fried onion rings (can)

Boil water and prepare the macaroni as directed... (like all pasta I prefer al dente) then drain into a colonder.
Grate the cheese and set aside
Cook bacon to a slight crisp then chop or crumble it, save the bacon grease.
Chop or cube the ham into bite sized pieces, then fry the pieces in a small amount of bacon grease until browned..

Pour the pasta into an oven safe dish, add the bacon and ham, mix in the cheese and top with bread crumbs and/or onion rings.
Bake at 350 until cheese is melted through.

Sweetened Green Beans

Fresh Green Bean -- not a new can but fresh uncooked
Butter or E.V. Olive oil
Sugar
Red Pepper flakes

Place skillet over medium heat add the butter (or oil) allow for it to heat up.
Add green beans and sautee for about 3 minutes, making sure they are coated with butter (oil)
Add a couple of tablespoons of sugar and allow it to dissolve and coat the green beans.
Sprinkle with Red Pepper Flakes for added spice.
