Mums Macaroni And Stewed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cook 2 cups of elbow macaroni and drain. Put back in pot and add 1 can of stewed tomatoes. (I like the ones with the green and red pepper bits in it.) Return to heat and stir until tomatoes are heated. Remove from heat and serve. Add pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Pour the macaroni into a saucepan and place over medium heat; stir in the butter, bacon grease, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes with juice, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Stir while cooking until butter and bacon grease has melted and incorporated completely, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit about 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the tomatoes, broth, oil and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Add pasta. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 16-18 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine macaroni, tomatoes, onion salt, pepper and 1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese. Pour into a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Dot with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 15 minutes longer.

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.
