Might try that one, it looks easy just gotta google the cheeses and miracle whip...lol

 

[sorcer3ss]

I love the answer

What would be an Australian substitute for 'American cheese' please?
It's to be used in a macaroni cheese recipe, with the same amount of butter and twice as much extra sharp cheddar as American cheese as the 'cheese' ingredients. Any ideas? I'm wondering whether just basic cheddar would substitute ok.

Plastic cheese like singles or that disgusting block of kraft cheese that they sell un refrigerated, it is wrong..it's not cheese but that's what they mean by "american chese"...I'd go for normal cheese like cheddar and none of this fake crap

and this one is a great help - Miracle Whip is sorta-kinda-not-really-like-mayo, but multiplied by awesomeness.

 

[judyb57]

Just use shredded cheddar and mayo, lol

Just a reminder you can use your pressure cooker to get your ribs ready for the grill. You can season them as you like, and even use bbq sauce as part of the water you use in the cooker. They're ready for the grill in about 20 minutes under pressure, but watch out they'll be fall of the bone tender!!! yum!!

Oh and you can do the same with chicken, but it's ready in 9 minutes under pressure.

ENCHILADAS SUPREME


1 lb lean ground beef, cooked and grease free
1 can (15 ounces) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (10 3/4 ounce) can of Cheddar Cheese Soup (I used Campbell’s)
2 cans (10 ounces each) enchilada sauce (I used Mild)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar & 2 tablespoon water (add to enchilada/cheese sauce)
1 can (4 ounces) diced green Chile peppers, drained
1/2 to 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese (10 ounces) or other favorite cheese
1 to 1 1/2 cups of your favorite Salsa or Picante sauce (HERDEZ SALSA is one of my favorites)
8 (6 1/2-inch) fajita-size flour tortillas
fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish (optional)

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

(This recipe could be made without the ground beef. Substitute chicken or leave the meat out entirely!)

1. Brown ground beef until done. Drain the grease very well. I like to use paper towels to squeeze out any remaining grease. Add drained and rinsed red beans, chile peppers (opt), corn, chili powder, salt and cumin. Add the salsa or picante sauce and stir well to combine.
2. In medium-size bowl, stir together two cans enchilada sauce, sugar and 1 can of cheddar cheese soup. Stir 1 cup of the enchilada sauce into bean mixture. If you want this to be milder, you could use 1 can of enchilada sauce and 2 cans of cheese soup. I used Campbell’s brand.
3. Spread 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce in 13×9-inch baking dish. Brush one side of a tortilla with enchilada sauce. Spoon the hamburger mixture down the length and towards the center, on sauced side and then roll up. Place rolled tortilla in baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas and meat & cheese mixture. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over top to cover. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese.
4. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, until hot & bubbly and slightly browned along the edges. If desired, garnish with cilantro.
Place your baking dish on top of a cookie sheet, just in case it bubbles over!
