  • my version of cheesy bake is cooked slice potatoes in a cheese sauce kinda like a cauliflower cheese without the cauliflower, sometimes with a bit of bacon or smoked sausage through it.

    I havn't got a receipe but I'd do something like this:-

    Cook however much pasta fits into your oven proof dish.
    Fry some onion and bacon (cut into pieces) dry frying would be nice.
    Make a cheese sauce.
    When pasta is part cooked through, roughly 5 mins depending on how much pasta.
    Pour into dish.
    Mix in the bacon and onion.
    Pour cheese sauce over
    Sprinke grated cheese over top.

    If you see an offer, I usually find the ready grated is better for this, it always seems thicker grated to me IYSWIM, you'ed need to use loads of cheese if its was grated on a hand grater.

    I use ready grated for pizza's

    The ready grated cheese has some sort of coating on it, maybe a starch of some sort which may be why it seems thicker. To use less cheese, keep some cheese in the freezer, and grate directly from frozen using a fine grater. Grate directly on to the food, rather than into a bowl, then it doesn't stick together. Doing it this way, you don't need very much cheese at all. Even better, mix the cheese with some breadcrumbs to make it go further, or for an even yummier treat, finely crush a packet of value cheese and onion or ready salted crisps, and use that in the topping too. Think I feel a cheesy bake coming on for our dinner tonight too now!
