Cathy, from the United States, sent us this recipe for macaronni casserole.
Category: Casserole

Recipe Name: Spicey Macaronni Casserole

Ingredients and Instructions:

• 1 Large box of jumbo elbow macaronni
• 1/2 package of bacon,cut into 1 inch pieces(I think the thicker cut bacon tastes better but can be a bit more costly)
• 1 can of "Rotel" diced tomatoes with chilies
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium brick of "Velveeta" cut into one inch blocks
• 1 jalenpeno pepper, chopped (This is optional as the "Rotel" tomatoes will already make this spicey)

Preheat oven to 375 deg. F.

Cook the macaronni per the instructions on the box. While the macaronni is cooking, cook the bacon until crisp in a large skillet. Be careful not to burn the grease.

Spoon out the bacon pieces onto a plate and alow to drain on a paper towel. Add the chopped onions, celery, and jalapeno to the grease left in the pan and saute for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. (Again the jalapeno is optional, adding this extra jalapeno will create a very spicey dish. I don't add it myself because my children and husband cannot eat it this way.)

Add the "Rotel" tomatoes to the celery and onions and let simmer for another 5 minutes or so.

Once the macaronni is cooked, drain, rinse and place in a large baking dish. (If I'm taking this to a potluck I usually bake it in a large disposable lasagna pan) Pour the onion, celery, and tomato mixture over the noodles and fold together until evenly distributed. Then add the bacon pieces and fold them in until evenly distributed.

Taking care to get the cheese in every nook and cranny push the chunks into the casserole. I just use my fingers but if the mixture is too hot pushing it in with a spoon or the like works too. Once you have all the cheese pushed in bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until the cheese is thouroghly melted.
