How to Make Baked Macaroni Tomatoes Cheese

  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.

  13. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
