Here’s what you’ll need:
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil
Butter
1/2 pound elbow macaroni or cavatappi
2 cups of milk
4 tablespoons, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Pull Apart Cheesy Garlic Bread, Something The Whole Family Can Fight Over
Why not have a tasty tug of war over the dinner table this Thanksgiving with our pull apart cheesy garlic bread?
Here’s what you’ll need:
5 Cloves of Garlic
⅓ Cup Parsley
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Small Loaf of Sourdough Bread
3 Tbsp Butter
Salt
4 oz. Sliced Gruyere Cheese
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF
Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. When the butter melts, add the chopped garlic to the butter along plus a pinch of salt and allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes, stirring as necessary so the garlic does not brown. Remove from heat.
Using a sharp serrated knife, make 1 inch diagonal cuts across the loaf of bread making sure you don't cut the bread all the way through.
Add the parsley to your mixture then stuff evenly throughout your bread. Finally stuff your slices of cheese into the bread.
Place on a baking sheet the cover with foil. Place in your oven then bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Bacon Cheeseburger, Decadence Incarnate
Direct from Canada, here's how to make the latest trending hamburger mashup.
Ingredients:
Reeces peanut butter cups
ground beef
Hamburger buns
Bacon
Salt
pepper
granulated garlic
2 Jalapeños minced
Shoe string onion rings
Directions:
For the Bacon
preheat oven to 400, then lay in single layer on parchment paper and bake for 20
minutes.
For the Burger
Mix ground beef with what ever fixins’ you like in your burger. Take peanut butter cup
and form meat around it. Heat oil and Skillet and cook to desired liking.
For the Onion rings
1 large onions
1 C buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour x’s 2
1 scant tablespoon salt x’s 2
Plenty of black pepper x’s 2
1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Canola oil, for frying
Begin by peeling the onions and slicing very thinly, use a mandoline slicer. Soak onions
in buttermilk for 1 hour.
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and set aside. ***We’ll
use the same flour mixture for the chicken (so i’ll double the flour mixture)
Pour 1 to 2 quarts canola oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees F, or until a
pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
Using tongs, remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and immediately dunk
into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the
inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
Reeces Peanut Butter Burger
Plunge the onions in the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them
up, and watch them! They'll be ready to remove from the oil in no time flat.
When they're golden brown (this should take just a minute or two), remove them from
the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
