How to Make Baked Macaroni Tomatoes Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked macaroni and stir to combine.
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed and the macaroni is coated (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a spoon. Add 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed tomato soup.
  7. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Pour half of the macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Top with the remaining macaroni mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
  11. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  13. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
