This past weekend I got a hankering for some homemade baked macaroni and cheese, and came across some delicious-looking tzatziki sauce at the store, so our dinner of chicken gyros and mac and cheese was born!
Jean's baked macaroni and cheese
7 tablespoons butter
7 tablespooons flour
salt and pepper
a dash Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard
3 1/2 cups milk
3 1/2 cups milk
12 ounces of shredded cheese, whichever's your favorite
3 cups elbow macaroni
Melt butter over medium heat, then whisk in flour, one tablespoon at a time, making sure that it's smooth. Stir in salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add cheese; let mixture come to a boil and boil for one minute, stirring frequently to preven milk from burning. Cook macaronis for about six minutes - you want them a bit firm. Combine sauce and elbows and bake for about 30 minutes at 350.
-I top mine with bread crumbs before it goes into the oven, and put a few squirts of Frank's Red Hot sauce when it's plated.
Easy chicken gyros
one pound chicken tenders
salt, pepper, oregano
a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice
lettuce, tomato and onion
pita bread
tzatziki sauce - I bought premade this time, but it's very simple to make - basically just plain yogurt, cucumber and dill
Toss chicken with spices, saute in a little olive oil. Squeeze some lemon juice over the chicken while it's cooking. Warm pita in the oven. Fill pita with chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and sauce, fold up and enjoy!
