12 Achievable Holiday Oven Recipes You Should Try - Megafurniture

12 Achievable Holiday Oven Recipes You Should Try

Note: We updated this article to provide you with the latest and most helpful tips!

 

There’s something magical about the holidays that makes everyone happy and excited. On top of the home decorations and gift-giving, what many look forward to are the tasty dishes and recipes that we only make on special occasions. Here are some easy holiday meal ideas that your loved ones will definitely anticipate.

 

Before we hop on to the list, here are some things that you must understand when using an oven:

  1. Not all ovens are the same. Before making a holiday recipe, we highly recommend understanding the settings and processes involved when using your kitchen’s oven.
  2. Some oven types come with different oven racks. Always choose a rack that fits your cooking requirements.
  3. Before beginning the baking or cooking process, preheat your oven. This is to get the right amount of heat to achieve the best brown and crisp for your recipe.
  4. Hot air rises, especially in standard ovens. If you are aiming for the slow-cook function, place your food in the bottom part of the oven.
  5. Use transparent or light-coloured bakeware to evenly distribute the heat.


    Must-Try Oven Holiday Meals

    Home-Baked Pasta

    Make your family's pasta recipe extra special by baking it in your oven. Add some cheese and bread crumbs to give it a tasty golden twist.

     

    Baked Macaroni 

    Baked Macaroni

    Prepare big batches of baked macaroni within minutes with a reliable kitchen oven. You can present this dish the way you want it to be, as a part of the main dinner or as a snack when gathering in your living room. The well-loved baked macaroni is something that both kids and adults will look forward to.

    Ingredients:

    • 250g macaroni
    • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 cup of milk
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
    • Bread crumbs for topping (optional)

    Instructions:

      1. Cook the Macaroni

    Boil the macaroni according to the package instructions. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water for extra flavor. Drain and set aside.

      1. Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously to create a smooth paste, known as a roux. Cook for a minute to remove the raw taste of the flour. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens.

      1. Add Cheese and Seasonings

    Reduce the heat to low, and add the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and mustard powder if you're using it. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.

      1. Combine Sauce and Macaroni

    Mix the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until all the pasta is well coated.

      1. Bake

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a baking dish. If you like, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.

      1. Serve!

    Allow the baked macaroni to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the dish set slightly.
