Subject: sour cream dessert
I went to Purdue University in the 1980s and in the cafeteria they served a dessert that was cut into bars.
It had a graham cracker crust and a pie filling top (cherry and blueberry are most remembered). It's the
middle I can't nail down. It was a sour cream/cheese cake type filling. It definitely was not 100% cheesecake
and had a lighter feel in the mouth then cheese cake. It was served cold. I have searched your site and anything
connected with Purdue University. I have not found anything that fits the bill. Maybe you can help?
Thank you,
Erin
Hello Erin,
I did not have any success locating any recipes at all that mentioned Purdue University Cafeteria.
There are quite a lot of cheesecake recipes with a graham cracker crust and a sour cream & cream cheese filling and
topped with cherry or blueberry pie filling. I imagine that what you had in the Purdue cafeteria was one of these
adapted for food service use.
See below for some examples.

Baked Cheesecake
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
1/4 c. ReaLemon juice
1 (8 oz.) sour cream
1 deep dish graham cracker crust
Cherry or blueberry pie filling (optional)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large mixer bowl, beat cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
Add eggs and ReaLemon juice, mix well. Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake 50-55 minutes or until set. Cool. Chill thoroughly.
Spread sour cream on top. Optional: Top with cherry or blueberry pie filling.

1/3 c. powdered sugar
18 graham crackers, crushed (1 1/2 c.)
1 stick butter, scant
--For Cake:--
4 eggs
3 lg. pkgs. cream cheese
1 pt. sour cream
1 c. sugar
1 generous tsp. vanilla
1 can blueberry (or cherry) pie filling

Sour Cream Cheesecake (Blender Recipe)
Graham cracker crumb crust
2 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. sour cream
1 lb. soft cream cheese (cut into
pieces)
2 tbsp. melted butter
--Optional:--
Fruit (cherries, pineapple, blueberries or strawberries) thickened slightly
Line a 5 cup pan with a graham cracker crumb crust (uncooked). *NOTE: Blend only 1/2 recipe at a time,
as the whole recipe will not fit in a 1 quart blender. In blender put eggs, sugar, vanilla and sour cream.
Cover and blend on high speed for 30 seconds. After 15 seconds remove cover and, with motor on, add the
pieces of cream cheese and the butter. Pour into prepared pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for
30 to 40 minutes, or until set in center. The filling will be still very soft, but it will firm up as the
cake cools. Chill thoroughly before serving. May be topped with your choice of pie filling.

Subject: Morrisons Cafeteria Recipe for Beefy Mac
I've been looking for the Morrison's Cafeteria recipe for Beefy Mac and cant find it.
Would appreciate if you could do some searching? Really appreciate the help!
John
Hello John,
The recipe below is given in the Morrison’s Kitchen Manual. Remember, this is a cafeteria-size recipe.
I am unable to tell you how to cut down the size of the recipe. A #10 can appears to be 13 cups or 104 ounces.
I have no idea how many portions are in 5 #200 steam table pans. I tried to find out the capacity of a #200 steam
table pan, but they do not appear to be sold that way. They are sold by “full size”, “2/3 size”, “half-size” and
then by depth.
