Southern Style Macaroni and Cheese
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of dry mustard
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 egg
3 cups of milk
2 sticks of butter
1 can of cream of chicken soup
32oz of Velveeta
2 cups sour cream
2 lbs small elbow macaroni
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 lbs of cheddar cheese ( I use sharp cheese but sometimes when it is on sale)
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a large glass bowl cut up Velveeta cheese into 1 inch cubes, also cut one stick of butter into 4 pieces, pour in 2 cups of the milk, and add the salt and pepper. Place plastic wrap over the top and microwave for 5 or more minutes depending on your microwaves power. You want the cheese to be completely melted but you have to stir it frequently or the cheese will burn.
While you are working on the cheese, start boiling and follow the instructions on the package for the macaroni. The key here is that right after the macaroni is done you want to put all your ingredients in while hot.
Grate your 2 lbs of cheddar cheese and set 1 half pound for the topping. Now stir your last 1 cup of milk, one egg, cream of chicken soup, and your sour cream together.
When you have drained the macaroni, while it is still hot start stirring in your sour cream mixer, your Velveeta mixer, and you 1 1/2 lb of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Now melt the last stick of butter and last cup of milk together.
Pour macaroni into a large baking dish, then pour milk and butter over the entire casserole let it seep in. Now you can spread the last 1/2 lb of cheddar over the top of the dish. Cover and put into oven and cook for 45 minutes. If you want this more creamy and more milk. About 15 minutes before its ready uncover.
You can top this with crushed potato chips or crushed Ritz crackers. Bon Appetite !

Southern-Style Corned Beef and Cabbage
1 4-pound corned beef brisket
3 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
4 slices bacon
1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
4 potatoes (1 1/2 pounds). peeled and halved lengthwise
Rinse the corned beef under cold running water and place in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the garlic, bay leaves, hot sauce, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 4 hours or until beef is tender. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper
towel-lined plate to drain, retaining the fat in the skillet. Add the cabbage wedges and potatoes in batches; cook over medium-high heat until brown but not tender. When the beef is very tender, transfer it to a warm serving platter and cover with aluminum foil,
retaining the cooking liquid. Add the potatoes to the simmering liquid; cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add the cabbage; simmer about 15 minutes more or until potatoes arc easily pierced with a fork. Discard bay leaves. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the serving platter and crumble the bacon over all. Serve with mustard.

Gorgonzola Devil Eggs
- 12 eggs
- One bottle of Gorgonzola Dressing (Lite House)
- 1 teaspoon of black or white pepper
- One teaspoon of Tabasco
- Paprika for top of eggs
Put eggs in a small pot and cover with water. Cook on high until water boils, reduce heat and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. The secret to not tearing the eggs apart is put the pot in sink and start running cold water of the eggs. Now, tap the bottom of the egg and start slowly pulling the shell. Wait 10 minutes till eggs have totally cooled, then you can cut them in half. Place the egg white halves in the refrigerator until they are cold.
Now, take the yolks and place them in a bowl. In the bowl of yolks 1/3 of a cup of the Gorgonzola dressing, pepper, and Tabasco and mix well.

Your can spoon them into it, or you can use a icing bag with a large tip. Sprinkle with paprika.
