Talerine Recipes

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with chopped onion until beef is thoroughly cooked and onion is soft and translucent. Drain fat.
• Place DRY noodles in bottom of 9x13 pan.
• Spread ground beef mixture evenly across the noodles.
• Drain 2 cans of corn and spread in pan on top of ground beef.
• Open tomatoes, but DO NOT drain. Layer in pan evenly, breaking tomatoes up slightly so that the tomatoes are evenly dispersed.
• Cut Velveeta cheese into 8 thick slices and layer on top of casserole. You can substitute other processed cheese loaf-type cheese, but be aware that some do not melt well on this casserole, so I always use Velveeta.
• Bake 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees (no need to preheat oven) until cheese is melted and brown.
• Noodles will be cooked and soft - infused with the flavors of the ingredients. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Saute garlic, onion and green pepper in a large skillet in a small amount of olive oil for about five minutes.
• Add ground beef and cook until brown and crumbly. Drain.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a spatula or large spoon.
• Fill 8" X 12" and 8" X 8" glass casserole dishes and bake at 325 degrees for one hour.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350° F Bake in a casserole dish, uncovered, at 350° F for 30 minutes; cover with foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until heated through.
• 2. Remove from oven and put cheeses on top, return to oven until cheese is melted.
• 3. CHEESE: Approximately 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese with 1 cup cubed velveeta cheese, (or 2 cups of a 4-cheese blend with 1 cup cubed velveeta...I like it this way).
• 4. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over top of plated servings (as some do not like parmesan cheese).
• 5. Suggested Sides: Toss Green Salad, Garlic Toast, Homemade Bread or Hot Rolls; (or maybe a loaf of homemade beer bread).
• 6. Beer Bread: 3 c self rising flour 3 T sugar 1 (12 oz) can beer Preheat oven to 375° F Mix all 3 ingredient together with wooden spoon and pour into bread loaf pan. Melt 3 T butter and pour over top of dough before placing in oven. Bake for approximately 1 hour. When done remove to cool for 15 minutes on wire rack before taking out of pan. TIP: Sometimes I add 1 T garlic powder and 1 T of Itilian Herb Mix and blend into the flour before adding the beer. P.S. oooh...BTW, you may want to grease the loaf pan or spray some not-stick spray in it (on bottom and up the sides)...guess I forgot to tell ya that!!!
• 7. I serve a light dessert with this meal...such as my "Cin's Tarts".
• 8. P.S. The Italian Village in Tontitown, AR....is celebrating their 114th year for their "Italian Grape Festival" this year Aug. 7th thru 11th, 2012.
