COMPANY'S COMING PASTA CASSEROLE FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Cook macaroni as directed on package; drain well and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• In a large frying pan, in batches if necessary, brown ground beef, then transfer to a very large pot.
• Stir in raw onions, garlic powder, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, mushrooms and their liquid.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until onions are tender.
• Remove from heat.
• In a large-sized roaster (the kind you'd do a turkey in), spread half the macaroni, then top with half the meat sauce.
• Top that with half the sour cream, then half the sliced cheddar.
• Now top that with the remaining macaroni, then the remaining meat sauce, then the remaining sour cream, then the remaining cheddar.
• Top with all the mozzarella.
• Cover roasting pan and bake in preheated oven for 75 minutes, or until hot and bubbling.
• Remove cover and, if cheese hasn't completely melted, let bake for a few more minutes until it has.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown beef with onion. Drain any grease. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Stir in tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, sugar and wine or water. Cook for a few minutes and remove from heat.
• Use a mixer to beat together the cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese.
• Spoon 1/2 of the noodles into a 9 x 13" casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover noodles with the cheese mixture, then the rest of the noodles. Pour the meat-tomato mixture over the top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, croutons and then dot the top with butter.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 35 to 45 minutes.

WIENER AND PASTA POT

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, combine everything; cover; cook slowly until shells are tender but firm. This should take 15 to 17 minutes.
• My own variation: I always browned my sliced weiners in the pot first before I added the remaining ingredients. I also added a bit of garlic powder, and topped it with cheese at the end.
