The above is a very satisfactory substitute for macaroni and cheese, and can be prepared in less time.
Baked Crackers and Cheese No. 2.
| 9 or 10 butter crackers or soda crackers. | 1 cupful of grated cheese. |
| 2 cupfuls of hot milk, whole or skimmed. | ¼ teaspoonful of salt. |
This is more quickly prepared than the preceding recipe, but as the milk is likely to curdle, it has not so good a consistency.
Soak the crackers in the milk; place them in a buttered baking dish in alternate layers with the cheese; pour the remaining milk over them and bake. This dish may be covered with buttered crumbs. Variety may be secured, in either this recipe or the preceding one, by putting a very small amount of mixed mustard on each cracker.
Cheese Rolls.
A large variety of rolls may be made by combining legumes, either beans of various kinds, cowpeas, lentils, or peas, with cheese of various kinds, and adding bread crumbs to make the mixture thick enough to form into a roll. Beans are usually mashed, but peas or small Lima beans may be combined whole with bread crumbs and grated cheese, and enough of the liquor in which the vegetables have been cooked may be added to get the right consistency. Or, instead of beans or peas, chopped spinach, beet tops, or head lettuce may be used. Homemade cottage cheese, and the soft cream cheese of commerce, standard cheese, or English dairy may be used.
Boston Roast.
| 1 pound can of kidney beans or equivalent | Bread crumbs. |
| quantity of cooked beans. | Salt. |
| ½ pound of grated cheese. |
Mash the beans or put them through a meat grinder. Add the cheese and sufficient bread crumbs to make the mixture stiff enough to be formed into a roll. Bake in a moderate oven, basting occasionally with butter and water. Serve with tomato sauce. This dish may be flavored with onions, chopped and cooked in butter and water.
