Taste Test Tuesday: 3 Dry Milk recipes

Today I will be sharing 2 dry milk recipes that I got from www.everydayfoodstorage.net.  The first is a main dish, the second a dessert recipe.  The 3rd recipe I have shared before (see this post), but will share again because it is used in the dessert recipe.  I have really liked the recipes I've gotten and tried from www.everydayfoodstorage.net and highly recommend them.

Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese  http://everydayfoodstorage.net/2008/05/21/the-magic-of-magic-mix-recipes-perfect-for-kids/food-storage-recipes

2 C. White Sauce from Magic Mix 2 C. Uncooked Macaroni 

2 C. Cheese 1-2 tsp. salt or garlic salt (optional)
1/2 C. Ketchup 1 T. Yellow Mustard

1 lb. Cooked Ground Beef (I also like to add cooked cracked wheat to this)
1/4 C. Dehydrated Onion hydrated in 1/2 C. Warm Water, drained (optional)

1 Bag Frozen Mixed Vegetables or fresh tomatoes to top

Directions:  Cook Macaroni. Cook hamburger while macaroni cooks. Drain macaroni and make white sauce in empty pot. Combine all ingredients and heat through. 

**My notes:  This isn’t your store bought mac & cheese, but it IS yummy and a great way to use food storage including adding cooked wheat to the ground beef after it is browned.  MMM....

Ice cream Cups  http://everydayfoodstorage.net/2008/06/09/food-storage-ice-cream-cups-powdered-milk-food-storage-recipes/food-storage-recipes

2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips (or white chocolate chips or PB chips)

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (can use homemade)

1 c finely chopped nuts, pecans, oreos, cookie pieces, etc.

In heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chips with sweet milk (can make own sweetened condensed milk), remove from heat and stir.  Stir in pecans.  In individual paper lined muffin cups, spread about 2 T of mixture.  With lightly greased spoon spread on bottom and up sides of each cup.  Freeze 2 or more hours.  Before serving, remove paper liners--it is easier to remove if allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes first.  Serve with icecream.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 c hot water 1 c dry milk

1 c sugar 1 T butter (optional)

Blend in blender, until thoroughly blended (a few minutes).  Can use immediately or freeze or put in fridge.   In the post I did before sharing this recipe, I also shared a couple other recipes using dry milk--like no bake cheesecake, and homemade yogurt.

Enjoy!
