MacKenzie Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 Fall is here, there was snow on the ground again this morning. I dug up the rest of the carrots and the garden is now closed for 2017.:) Browned some ground beef, then onions and garlic, add some of my homemade tomato sauce, oregano, fish sauce, salt, pepper and partially cooked macaroni. Cooked at 350F for about 45 mins. covered, then took the casserole to the kitchen oven to brown the cheese. Ready to add the cheese and put the casserole under the broiler. Ready to plate. Plated with corn and beets. 3
tony b Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 You caught my interest when I saw "fish sauce." Interesting addition.
MacKenzie Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks, Tony. 1.5 t with 1 lb of ground beef and 8 ozs of macaroni. I had a red pepper I grew and meant to put that in but forgot and the next time I'd add something to make it a little hot. It was very good though and I did have to servings.
MacKenzie Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Posted November 15, 2017 And, there's always Purple Crack! I did put the purple crack on the corn.
Bruce Pearson Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 Mac that looks yummy! Can you taste fishy with the fish sauce? I have been thinking about buying some.
tony b Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 @Bruce Pearson - get the good stuff. There an incredible balance of flavors when done well. Very Umami. Cheaper stuff is very salty. https://smile.amazon.com/Red-Boat-Premium-Fish-Sauce/dp/B00B617XK2 1
MacKenzie Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Bruce, you know how I hate that fishy smell/taste but that is not present in the dish. Red Boat is only $35 on Amazon Canada, you are getting a real deal, Bruce. Edited November 15, 2017 by MacKenzie 1
Bruce Pearson Posted November 16, 2017 Report Posted November 16, 2017 Mac, Tony thanks for the information, I’ll give it a try

MacKenzie Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Posted November 17, 2017 Aussie, this is the official recipe but I did substitute my homemade tomato sauce for the canned tomatoes that get pureed any way. http://ruhlman.com/2013/11/macaroni-beef/
MacKenzie Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Posted November 17, 2017 My Red Boat is sailing to my door as I write.
MacKenzie Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Posted November 17, 2017 I had to mortgage my little 16.5 inch KK to get this sauce.
tony b Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Yeah, your price on Amazon was way higher than ours. But, at least you can get it. 1
Bruce Pearson Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Mac sorry you had to mortgage your KK lol im thinking that when you use the sauce its very little? 1
MacKenzie Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Posted November 18, 2017 Mac sorry you had to mortgage your KK lol im thinking that when you use the sauce its very little? Bruce I am hoping it will last for the rest of my life.🤡
MacKenzie Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Posted November 18, 2017 Bruce I am hoping it will last for the rest of my life.🤡If it doesn't I can always leave it to someone in my will.
Bruce Pearson Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Mac either you bought a 500 gallon bottle or you only use a dash of this stuff? LOL 1
