PASTITSIO (OAMC)

Steps:

• For the meat sauce, put some olive oil in a large pot; saute onion until lightly browned; add garlic; add meat and cook until brown, crumbling with a fork; add remaining meat sauce ingredients to skillet; mix well; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until quite thick; let mixture cool; remove and discard cinnamon stick and bay leaf.
• Prepare pasta by boiling until al dente in plenty of boiling, salted water; drain and place pasta in a large bowl; add butter, milk, eggs and 1/2 cup cheese; gently stir to coat; set aside.
• To prepare bechamel sauce, melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan; stir in flour until smooth, cook, whisking for 2 minutes; gradually add milk, stirring, until thickened; lower heat; add salt, pepper and nutmeg; remove from heat.
• In medium-sized bowl, beat 3 eggs; slowly add hot cream sauce to eggs; stir thoroughly so eggs don't curdle.
• Preheat oven to 350°F and butter or oil (with olive oil) a large baking pan (my pan is about 18" x 10").
• Empty 1/2 of the penne mixture over bottom of pan; cover evenly with all of meat sauce; sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese over meat sauce; add remaining penne mixture, spreading evenly; sprinkle another 1/3 of the cheese over top; pour bechamel sauce evenly over entire casserole; top with remaining cheese.
• Bake until bechamel sauce sets and has golden-brown patches across top, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour; cool at least 20 minutes before cutting into pieces for serving.
• Freezer Notes: Once the baked pastitsio has completely cooked, cut serving-size pieces, double-wrap in foil and freeze. Defrost in the usual manner and reheat in microwave (or oven) for a delicious, quick meal, when there's little time to cook and dinner is ready and waiting in the freezer!

KITTENCAL'S FREEZER FRIES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into about 1/2-inch wide strips, or to desired thickness.
• Place them in a large bowl and cover them with cold water, drain and cover them again with cold water (for extra crispy fries mix 1-2 tablespoons sugar with the cold water until completely dissolved before adding in the potatoes).
• Place the bowl in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours, even overnight or up to 2 days.
• When read to make, drain as many as you are going to fry in a large strainer and leave the rest in water (you will be working in batches).
• Have another large bowl ready to put the fryed fries into, and have a large slotted spoon ready also to remove the fries from the oil.
• In about a 5-quart non-stick Dutch oven or a deep fryer, heat 10-12 cups oil until hot with 1 tablespoon salt or more if desired (must use the salt in the oil!) I just throw one French fry in, if it bubbles then to the oil is ready, this will take about 8 minutes to heat until hot.
• Carefully place the drained fries into the hot oil (no need to pat them dry!) and fry only until the edges begin to turn a little brown, and fries feel soft (do not cook them totally).
• Remove with a slotted spoon and place into a large bowl.
• Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• When the fried potatoes are room temperature prepare one or two large cookie sheets.
• Spread the fries on the sheets (you may pile them on top of each other they will come apart when defrosted) and place in the freezer until completely frozen, then just pop them into a large zip-lock freezer bags and store in the freezer.
• **NOTE** Of coarse you can make some right away if desired, after they have come down to room temperature just re-fry them again until desired crispness.
• After freezing just drop the frozen fries into hot oil, there is no need to thaw them first.
