BAKED ELBOW MACARONI WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Baked Elbow Macaroni With Italian Sausage and Peppers image

Found this recipe on the box of whole wheat macaroni, and thought I would give it a try. Very good. I used fat free cheese and it tasted just as good as full fat. Lower in fat, and loaded with fiber.
