I was trying to figure out what to cook for supper with the things I had on hand. The cabinets are getting pretty bare, and those that know me, know that "running to the store" is not an option out here. I need a couple of hours to be able to do the shopping. Well, I had ground beef in the freezer and thawed it out. I had a few potatoes, a couple of onions and some cheese. Most recipes would call for some cream of mushroom or broth next, but I didn't have any on hand. I decided to go with a bechamel with a garlic kick. Here's a step by step, and the recipe is at the end. Layer potatoes and onions. Next combine hamburger, spices and bechamel, then top the potatoes and onions. Next Cheese! Another layer of potatoes and onions. More meat mixture. Continue layering. After 4 hours cooking on high. All plated and ready to gobble up! It went fast! 1 1/2 lbs ground beef � cup flour 2 cups milk 2 garlic cloves, run through a garlic press 1 tsp salt � tsp. Pepper 3 lbs. peeled ...

Here in South Carolina, many people remain in the dark with no power. I am lucky. I have my power back on, but just 2 miles down the road they are still without power.

I know that casseroles like this are old fashioned and not particularly healthy because of the canned soups and the mayonnaise, but I made this on a nostalgic whim this past week, and I have to admit that I quite liked it. The asparagus, mushrooms, chicken and pasta worked well together. Very much comfort food. Also, I substituted fresh asparagus and fresh mushrooms for the canned versions, and that was a big plus. I don't know. It just hit the spot. 3 cups cooked and cubed or shredded chicken 2 cans cut green asparagus (I used fresh asparagus, which I steamed. Didn't really measure. At least the equivalent of two cans. Probably a bit more. Cut up into one-inch pieces) 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup mayonnaise 1 can mushrooms, drained (again, I used fresh rather than canned. Probably about a cup and a half of sliced button mushrooms) 1 8-oz package egg noodles, cooked 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds Combine first ...
