Cheesy Penne Pasta and Smoked Sausage Casserole image

Smoked sausage is my new go to meat for a tight budget, so I have been searching for something to use it in besides Jambalaya. I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine and loved it! I just had to share it! For a healthier casserole, I use whole wheat pasta, turkey smoked sausage, 98% fat free soup and low fat cheese.

Time 55m

Yield 1 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups penne pasta, uncooked
14 ounces smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 1/2 cups milk
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 1/2 cups cheddar French-fried onions, separated (I couldn't find cheddar, so I used regular and it was great)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded, divided

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, brown sausage in a skillet and drain. (I skipped this step since I was using fully cooked turkey smoked sausage and wouldn't have any fat to render).
  • In a large bowl, combine milk and soup.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup onions, 1/4 cup of each cheese, and sausage.
  • Drain pasta and stir into sausage mixture.
  • Transfer to a greased 13 x 9 baking dish.
  • Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Sprinkle with remaining onions and cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
