POOR MAN'S MAC & CHEESE CASSEROLE
My husband's Great Grandma made this for him and his sibilings when they came to visit. Only five ingredients, simple and easy to make. Ground beef, corn, cream style corn, peas, and mac & cheese. A real kid pleaser and one of my husband's favorites. I couldn't find anything else like it on the Zaar.

EASIEST MAC 'N' CHEESE
The easiest and tastiest macaroni and cheese recipe...so easy my 10 year old can make it! Also the only mac and cheese my very picky 7 year old will eat. Make sure to use extra sharp cheddar, it makes all the difference. Best of all, no need to pre-cook the noodles! Adapted from Moosewood Low Fat Favorites.

A friend and I made this up in college -- as we did not have much money, nor a proper kitchen. Over the years, I have tweaked it a bit -- now that I DO have a proper kitchen!

BUTTERNUT MAC 'N' CHEESE
I tripled this recipe and made 5 quarts. You can change the squash to macaroni ratio to suit your taste (more squash makes it more like casserole, as listed it's pretty much a glorified mac n' cheese). This is the best mac n' cheese you'll ever have, thanks to A Veggie Venture's Thanksgiving Recipe tour. http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/

Steps:
- Squash:.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut squash in half, lengthwise and rub cut side with olive oil.
- Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 60 - 75 minutes or until completely cooked and soft.
- Scoop out flesh while still warm and break apart with a spoon.
- Timing-wise, finish the squash roughly the same time the pasta and the sauce is cooked so that it's still warm.
- NOTE: You can change the ratio of squash to macaroni if you want it to be more or less squashy-I think this ratio is ideal because is comes out like mac n' cheese but there is still a good amount of squash hiding in there --.
- Cook macaroni in salted water.
- Let drain well. Timing-wise, finish the pasta and the sauce about the same time.
- Sauce:.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter on MEDIUM heat until shimmery.
- Stir in the onion as it's prepped, then the nutmeg and white pepper, cook until onions soften.
- Stir in the flour and mix well.
- A tablespoon at a time, add the milk, incorporating each tablespoon well before adding another. (If you add it all at once, or without working in each time, there's risk of ending up with a lumpy sauce).
- Stirring often, let the sauce come almost to the boiling point, it will thicken slightly.
- Add the cheese and let melt, adjusting temperature so that the sauce won't boil. (It's not a disaster if it does, since it's going into the casserole, but it'll look curdled).
- COMBINE.
- In a large bowl, break the squash apart, mashing it really, with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the hot, drained pasta and combine well, distributing the squash throughout. Stir in the sauce and combine well.
- Transfer to a greased baking dish.
- If you like, sprinkle the top with pimento or paprika.
- If making ahead, let cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate.
- BAKE.
- Return dish to room temperature.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly throughout.
- To add color to the top, place under the broiler for 2 - 3 minutes, watching carefully so not to burn. When covered with foil, holds its temperature for a good 30 minutes.
