500 g - package of sharp/old cheddar cheese, grated (* add more (or less) to your liking)

Steps:

  • Cook elbow macaroni as per instructions. * I add some olive oil to prevent it from sticking, but that's optional. Drain macaroni through colander.
  • Return to pot or casserole dish and add tomatoes.
  • Mix tomatoes into macaroni.
  • Heat oven to broil (500 degrees F) and top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake macaroni and cheese with tomatoes on middle rack under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned (to your preference). * I put a cookie sheet underneath to prevent spills from dripping down. * Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Serve hot.

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH STEWED TOMATOES



Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Stewed Tomatoes image

Boy, does this bring back memories! When I was in high school, they served this every Friday in the cafeteria. I guess they had to make sure we had our vegetables :) It sounds gross, but I couldn't wait until Fridays, the macaroni and tomatoes were so good together. To this day, almost 20 years later, whenever I have baked macaroni & cheese, I crave stewed tomatoes. With this recipe, I don't have to.
