Kraft Mac and Cheese Pie

Note:  This "pie" was easy to throw together and gave me some downtime while it was in the oven.  It has the veggies and the protein all mixed right in, so no need for side dishes or lots of extras.  It's great leftover, too.

Ingredients
1 pkg. (14 oz.) macaroni & cheese dinner (with sauce packet)
2 cups small broccoli florets (frozen or fresh)
4 eggs
1 cup of cubed or chopped ham (could be ham steak or deli meat, whatever you have!)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey jack works)

Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a 9in pie plate with cooking spray.
2) Cook macaroni noodles as directed.  Steam broccoli in your preferred method
3) In a small bowl, beat eggs and stir in the cheese sauce.
4) When macaroni is cooked and drained, add cheese sauce mixture, ham, and broccoli.  Mix well.
5) Spoon mixture into pie plate and top with shredded cheese
6) Bake for 30 minutes or until macaroni is set and the top is golden brown.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Caramel Apple Jam

Note: Recipe makes approximately 6 pints.  If planning on canning, prepare the water bath during step 1.   Ingredients 6 cups apples, diced and peeled (1/8 inch cubes, roughly – this takes about three pounds of whole apples) 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon butter 1 package (1.75 ounces) powdered fruit pectin 2 1/2 cups sugar 2 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Directions 1) In a pan, combine the apples with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon butter. Cook over low heat, stirring regularly, until apples are soft. Approximately 1 hour. 2) Once the apples are soft, stir in the pectin & bring to a rolling boil. 3) Add white & brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and stir to combine.  Mixture will thicken. Bring it back to a rolling boil. Stir constantly and let it boil for one minute. 4) Remove from heat. Ladle into jars.  If canning, process immediately.  Otherwise, let jam cool before putting on lids and refrigerating. source:  “Caramel Apple Jam”
