Stove Top Macaroni And Cheese With Roasted Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Place tomatoes in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with black pepper. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
• While tomatoes cook, Toss bread crumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the crumbs on a baking sheet, and bake alongside the tomatoes for 12 minutes or until golden, stirring frequently.
• Cook macaroni in boiling water 7 minutes; drain. Return macaroni to pan; place over medium-low heat, do not heat any higher or cheese and sauce will get grainy. Add cheese and remaining ingredients; cook until cheese melts, stirring constantly.
• Remove tomatoes from the baking dish with a slotted spoon so as not to get too much extra liquid. Stir tomatoes into macaroni and cheese or serve along side.
• Sprinkle each serving with about 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Salt and pepper to taste.

• Be careful macaroni doesn't stick to bottom of pot - stir frequently!
• I have added butter and/or cheese whiz for additional flavour.
• Depending on amount of macaroni cooked, I have used 28 oz can of tomatoes.
• I have also used italian style tomatoes and chili tomatoes which give it a slightly different flavour, but plain tomatoes are best for our family preference. I have tried canned tomatoes with olive oil and spices (to be used for brushetta) and they are too oily and doesn't result have good results.
