MOM'S BAKED TOMATO AND CHEESE MACARONI
This is not your everyday mac & cheese. It always tasted best when Dad would stop in Pinconning MI on his way home from deer hunting each year to pick up a huge round of Pinconning cheese. Mom had 5 hungry kids sitting at the table waiting for this to come out of the oven!

Steps:
- Note 1: If you can't find Ready-Cuts, use a small penne pasta or mostaccioli. Elbows don't have enough substance for this recipe.
- Note 2: You may use stewed or diced tomatoes.
- Note 3: I use a combination of Pinconning, Colby, and mild Cheddar cheese. You may use your favorite(s).
- Boil macaroni in salted water, 3 minutes less than package directions. Drain. It will finish cooking in the oven.
- Sauté onion in butter until soft and translucent. Add the can of tomatoes to the onions and let simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Cut cheese into small chunks and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Spray a 9X14" glass pan with non-stick cooking spray. Layer half the tomatoes and cheese in the pan. On top of this, layer 1/2 of the cooked, drained macaroni, then the remaining tomatoes, then the remaining macaroni, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Pour 1/4 cup water over the top. Cover with foil.
- Bake in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
