How to Make Italian Cheddar Bake Macaroni Cheese Casserole
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare 1 (16 ounce) box of macaroni and cheese according to package directions.
- While the macaroni and cheese cooks, brown 1 pound Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to the browned sausage. Stir well and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Gently stir the cooked sausage and tomato mixture into the prepared macaroni and cheese.
- Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
