Hey my fabulous Steemians!
My last post was my slow cooked lamb joint.That was an awfully big joint.I would say near enough the size of my 1 year old.😂😂We scoffed what we could but had a fair bit leftover.What do we do with the leftovers? I was going to make shredded lamb pitta but hubby felt like he was eating the same dinner again.He did not want the lamb being the core ingredient.
As I was rummaging through the lader I found half a packet of maccroni looking rather sorry for itself.So I decided to make Pam's leftover style macaroni cheese bake.
Ingredients
500g Macaroni Pasta
Lamb leftovers shredded
3 Small Mushrooms
500 ml Milk
3 TBSP Butter
3 TBSP Plain flour
1 Stock Cube
1 TBSP Carolina mustard sauce
1 TSP smoked Paprika
Pinch of Salt & Pepper
250g Cheese ( 100g Red Leicester,100g
Mozzerella, 50g mature cheddar
Method
Step 1- Boil the pasta in water until pasta is aldente.
Step 2- Drain the water out the pasta and put the cooked pasta in a baking tray.
Step 3- In a seperate pan add butter and flour.Cook on a medium heat Gas Mark 4.
Step 4- Once the butter and flour formed a paste slowly pour the milk in, constantly whisking.
Step 5 - Add the stock cube in the mixture
add pinch of salt, South Carolina mustard, pepper and paprika.
Step 6- Now shred the leftover lamb in small pieces, I had leftover cauliflower and green peas.I took lamb and vegg and spreaded it evenly on the tray with some mushrooms.
Step 7- Put in your desired cheeses in the sauce, mix and pour all over the pasta and lamb leftovers.
Step 8 - Sprinkle with lots of cheese, place in the oven for 20 mins or until cheese is golden Brown.All you have to do is Plate up!
Now Enjoy............

This is such a hearty and comforting dish.In my photos you can see the snow in my garden.It just is never ending.But the mac & cheese sure warmed our bellies! What made me smile were the hubby and kids were like, is there any leftover we want more.Well i was like, sure you can have the leftovers from the leftover of the leftovers I have made! Mummy can always make something out of nothing!!!( I dont know if thats a good trait or a bad one).😂😂😂
