Macaroni, Cheese and Mini–Hot Dog Tiramisu
Ingredients:1 pound cooked pasta (Any kind will work, so whatever you have left over from making macaroni salad or pasta salad will work)
3 cups cubed cheese (Again, whatever kind will work. Just try to pick the pieces no one sneezed on)
2 cups milk
1/4 cup flour
Instructions:Mix flour into milk with a wooden spoon over low to medium heat. Cut cheese into very small pieces and use your hands to mix it in with the macaroni. Put half of the macaroni mixture into an 8-inch cake pan. Put a layer of mini–hot dogs over the bottom layer of macaroni. Put the rest of the pasta on top of the hot dogs, then poor the milk mixture evenly over
the entire thing. Bake for eight to 10 minutes.
Add hot dog buns on the
outside and red pepper dust to the top for effect.
The skinny:Tiramisu is as wimpy as they come when it comes to foods, but when it's made out of cheese, pasta and meat it gets a lot better. We thought about using mozzarella sticks around the outside instead of hot dog buns to represent the lady fingers, but by then the store was already closed…and we had already eaten most of it.
Nacho Burrito on a Pizza
Ingredients:1 14-inch premade pizza
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
1 cup grated cheese
1 pound ground beef cooked with taco seasoning
1 1/2 cup sour cream
12 jalepeño poppers
Instructions:If the pizza is raw, cook it, but don't burn it. Take fresh nacho ingredients like we did or a plate of old, leftover nachos and make a line right down the center of the pizza. Apply jalepeño poppers. Then carefully wrap the pizza around the filling, leaving one end open for presentation.
The skinny:Of all the stuff we made out of our leftovers, this was the best tasting and most practical. This one might actually make it into the regular dinner rotation. At least until we die of a few heart attacks.
