Lasagna style baked ziti-
http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1123648(this recipe says it yields 4 servings, but it made WAY more when I multiplied it by 6 for our group. I would assume it makes at least 6 servings, if not more.)
Broccoli Cheese Soup-
¾ cup butter 3 ½ tsp. pepper
¾ cup flour 10 cups fresh broccoli florets (I used frozen)
10 cups chicken stock 1 ½ lbs. Velveeta, cubed
9 cups milk (I used skim) 4 cups
shredded cheddar cheese3 tsp. salt 1/3 cup cornstarch
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat then mix in the flour. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1 cup broth and set aside. Mix in the chicken stock, milk, salt, pepper, and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 10 minutes.
Bring pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place broccoli in the
boiling water and cook 2 minutes or until just tender. Remover from heat, drain, and set aside. (Since mine was frozen I cooked in the microwave following the directions on the back of the package. I also chopped the broccoli after it was cooked so it was in smaller pieces.)
Gradually mix the cheeses into the large pot until melted. Mix in the broccoli. Continue cooking about 5 minutes.
