Baked Crackers and Cheese No. 1.
| 9 or 10 butter crackers or Boston crackers. | 1½ cupfuls of milk. |
| ¼ pound of cheese or 1 cupful of grated cheese. | ¼ teaspoonful of salt. |
| Flour. |
Split the crackers, if the thick sort are selected, or with a sharp knife cut them into pieces of uniform size. Pour the milk over them and drain it off at once. With the milk, flour, cheese, and salt, make a sauce. (See p. [23].) Into a buttered baking dish put alternate layers of the soaked crackers and sauce. Cover with bread crumbs and brown in the oven, or simply reheat without covering with crumbs.
The above is a very satisfactory substitute for macaroni and cheese, and can be prepared in less time.
