Cooking With Cheese
I love cooking with cheese. Incorporating cheese into food, adds a more full bodied flavor quality. My cooking with cheese began at about age 12. Being a very fussy eater, I was strongly encouraged to start cooking my own food. I hated the taste of egg yoke. To tolerate eating eggs the yoke and egg white needed to mixed together by stirring it up. The egg was broken into a hot, greased, pan and stirred with a fork. Thin pieces of cheese, were cut up, into the mixed up egg. The flavor of the yoke had been
camouflaged with the rich taste of cheese. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder were added to the egg.
This completing the concealment process.
A careful eye was kept on the egg so as not to burn it. The next cheese snack I tackled was the grilled cheese sandwich.
Two slices of bread were buttered on one side.
Moderately thin slices of cheese were cut.
This was enough to completely cover a slice of bead.
One slice of bread was placed buttered side down,
in a warm frying pan. The cheese slices were laid side by side covering the entire top of the slice of bread.
The other slice of bread was placed butter side up on top of the cheese, centering it on the bread below.
The sandwich was watched and turned frequently.
The frying continued until both sides of bread were golden brown, with the cheese below melted. Then I developed a passion for home made macaroni and cheese. A sauce pan, half full of water, was brought to a
boil. A cup or two of elbow macaroni was added to the hot water. A little butter was added to the hot water, so it wouldn’t boil over so easily. The contents of the sauce pan were stirred every thirty seconds or so to stop the macaroni sticking to the metal bottom. Cheese was cut up into thin slices. The water was drained off the macaroni when it was soft enough to eat.
The cheese, and a little milk was stirred into the hot macaroni. A little salt and pepper were added.
When the cheese had melted the food was ready to eat.
Later I watched my mother making 7 layer dinner.
Years later I made it when I had extra time for cooking.
It is not a quick dish to make. There is some prep work
required. This is a run through of the steps to making
seven layer dinner. Boil 2 potatoes for about 25 minutes.
When cooked, allow the potatoes cool. Peel and slice them.
Cook 2 cups of elbow macaroni until almost soft.
Fry up a pan full of hamburger, until it is browned.
Chop up 2 cups of cheddar cheese.
Cut an onion into small pieces.
Chop up a green pepper.
Get a can of stewed tomatoes.
You need a big oven rated casserole dish with a lid. It is a good idea to spray pam non stick on the bottom
of casserole dish.
First put a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the pan.
Next spoon in a layer of stewed tomatoes.
Add a layer of macaroni on top of the tomatoes.
Cover the macaroni with a layer of cheese.
Spoon in a layer of onion on top of the cheese.
Place the cooked hamburger on top of the onions.
Lay a layer of green pepper on top of the hamburger.
Top it all off with a garnish layer of cheese. Cover the dish and bake in an oven set at 325 degrees,
for 2 hours. Enjoy the taste of your work of art. |
