HOT DOG CASSEROLE
The original version of this recipe came from "The Northern Exposure Cookbook" by Ellis Weiner. This is a real family-style kid-pleasing recipes that I often bring to potlucks and family gatherings. It is like a pot of macaroni & cheese but with the added surpise of the hotdog slices. It is easy prepare, is inexpensive, and doubles nicely. I have even prepared the ingredients the night before and baked it the next day with success (just allow the ingredients to come to room temperature before baking or add a little extra cooking time). You may use reduced fat ingredients if you have health concerns, but it will not be quite as rich. That being said, I do just about always use "light" hotdogs with no real sacrifice to taste. Prep time includes cooking the pasta.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
- Grease a 2-quart casserole.
- Add the freshly cooked and drained macaroni into the casserole along with the sliced hot dogs and just 2 cups of the cheese; mix well.
- Combine butter and onion in a medium saucepan and saute over medium heat until the onion is wilted (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk flour into the butter mixture quickly until flour is absorbed, then remove from heat.
- Add milk slowly, whisking to combine well- make sure you whisk very quickly and thoroughly or you will have doughy clumps.
- Return to heat, whisk in the salt and pepper, and bring to a boil (still whisking)- just be careful not to let it burn.
- As soon as it starts to hit the boiling point, remove from heat and pour evenly over the macaroni mixture.
- Stir to gently to combine.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake, uncovered, for 18-20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese has melted and browned (If you prepare this in advance, wait to add the remaining cheese until you are ready to bake the casserole the next day).
- For variety, I have tried other types of cheeses and thought Cheddar blended with Monterey Jack was also very nice in this.
- NOTE: This does not freeze well.

Tips:
- Choose the right macaroni. Elbow macaroni is the traditional choice for macaroni and cheese, but you can use any type of small, tube-shaped pasta. Penne, shells, and rotini are all good options.
- Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that the macaroni should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the most important ingredient in macaroni and cheese, so it's important to use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux will help to prevent the cheese sauce from curdling.
- Add milk or cream. Milk or cream is used to thin the cheese sauce. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or even skim milk. If you want a richer cheese sauce, you can use cream instead of milk.
- Season the cheese sauce. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings for macaroni and cheese. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder.
- Stir in the macaroni and hot dogs. Once the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy, stir in the cooked macaroni and hot dogs. Stir until the macaroni and hot dogs are evenly coated with the cheese sauce.
- Bake the macaroni and cheese. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroni and cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Conclusion:
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect macaroni and cheese that will be a hit with your family and friends.
