Инструкции
- Take the pasta or possibly rice, the meat, and the veggies, and dump them into a 9x9 baking dish. Make the sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. If you want to saute/fry the onions or possibly garlic or possibly whatever add in-in you're using, use one more Tbsp butter. Add in the flour and stir till completely mixed into a thick paste. Add in the lowfat milk and slowly bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook just till thick. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove the sauce from the heat. Add in cheese if making a cheese sauce. Stir till melted. Add in desired seasonings to taste. Pour over top of casserole mix and stir gently till mixed well. Bake, uncovered, for 30 min.
- Let stand about 10 min before serving. This is a great way to use up leftovers, and it's different every time you make it because you improvise.
- Very easy, too, and it freezes well as long as you're not using a very hard cheese (hard cheeses will separate and the oil will float to the top. Use a breadcrumb topping if you've got a craving for Jarlsberg or possibly Gruyere or possibly Parmesan.)
