====Ghe's Goop==== //The traditional Jones (Ruder) family dish. This simple cheesy-noodle casserole has been a favorite across generations...// ===Ingredients=== * Sausage (about a pound) - the ring kind is best cut into half-circles * Noodles (1 lbs bag) * Cheese (2 lbs) - a substantial portion should be Sharp Cheddar * Milk (2 cups) * Salt & Pepper ===Instructions=== -Preheat oven to 350(d)F -Cook noodles until almost soft; drain and place in casserole dish -Cook down the sausage to remove some of the grease then add to the casserole dish -In a pan, combine milk, cheese, salt and pepper and heat over medium heat; stir constantly until cheese is melted and it is thick. Add this cheese sauce to the casserole dish -Stir together all the ingredients in the casserole dish and add more cheese if desired -Bake for about 45 minutes and add shredded cheese just before it's complete ===Special Notes=== Supposedly invented by Teresa's "Grandma Ghe" (Cindy's Great-Grandma) during the depression with government rations. This recipe should serve 6-8 people and is always good reheated (especially in a frying pan). Go easy on butter, greases, and oils as these will settle in the bottom of the dish and make the whole thing a bit soggy.
