INSTRUCTIONS
TOPPING FOR EACH CAS
Line four 8x8x2-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap. Allow
enough extra wrap to fold over top. Use one pan for each six servings or
one-fourth of the recipe. Do not line pans for food to be served without
freezing.
Melt butter. Stir in flour and seasonings. Stir in hot milk slowly. Cook
until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in macaroni, turkey, cheese,
and pimientos. Pour one-fourth of mixture into each baking pan. Spread
mixture well to avoid air pockets.
TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING: Preheat oven to 350° F. (moderate). Sprinkle
1/4 cup shredded cheese over macaroni mixture in baking pan. Bake 30
minutes or until cheese is melted.
TO FREEZE: Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. Complete wrapping by
pulling paper up over top of food. Put edges of wrap together and fold
several times so paper lies directly on top of food. Fold ends of freezer
wrap over the top and seal with freezer tape. Label with name of food,
date of freezing, and last date the food should be used for best eating
quality (about 6 months). Freeze immediately for 10 to 12 hours before
removing packages from the pans.
TO HEAT FROZEN CASSEROLE: Preheat oven to 350° F. (moderate). Remove
freezer wrap. Place food in baking pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese
over frozen macaroni mixture. Bake 1 1/4 hours or until mixture is bubbly
at edges and center is hot.
