This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This pretty good, I halved the recipes though. Think I will cut down on the milk next time. But it was a fairly quick meal, perfect for the weekday

For a cream of soup casserole, this was quite good! Now, it's not a real tetrazzini (no mushrooms??), but it has great flavor and is easy to prepare. The ingredients can be prepped while the pasta cooks. It also holds well when prepared in advance - we made ours about 2 hours in advance. One suggestion: either turn on the broiler during the last few minutes of baking or pre-toast the almonds before adding to the casserole, it'll add a little extra flavor.
