One of the things that take up most of my cabinet space is my cookware. I am a huge Pyrex fan! It wouldn’t be at all exaggerated for me to say I have over 50 pieces.  Crazy, I know, but, I became so tired of plastic staining and getting mucked up in the microwave. My then mother- in- law, would buy it for Christmas every year and I always looked forward to it! When I think I already have too much, (as if) I see more awesome Pyrex pieces from them! I would love to be a Pyrex Mom or something like that lol Pyrex Ambassador? Hey, I am open to a name alteration! I came across these 4 very important tips for cooking with glass that I wanted to pass along.  Hope they help you in your cooking ventures!

Budget Stretching Recipe: $.74 per serving It’s a fast and easy meal for the times when you’ve had a long day at work and not a lot of time at home. This recipe is used in several school lunch programs because children love it!

Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can Red Gold® Stewed Tomatoes or 1 (14.5 ounce) can Red Gold® Petite Diced Tomatoes with Onion, Celery & Green Pepper
1 cup elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded pasteurized prepared cheese product

Directions:

* In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion. Drain well. Add RED GOLD® STEWED TOMATOES and 1 cup of water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni and bring back to a boil.
* Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until macaroni is done. Sprinkle cheese on top and stir until cheese is melted.

Cook Hint::
Properly wrapped, fresh ground beef can be kept in the freezer at 0° for 3 months. Ground beef wrapped and frozen flat will stack easily and make best use of freezer space. These packages also thaw quicker. Be sure not to stack packages until they are completely frozen.
