Everyone's bound to want seconds of this satisfying Italian-style bake from Kelli Bucy of Red Oak, Iowa. Oregano seasons the pork sausage, macaroni and tomato sauce mixture that's topped with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. It really hits the spot when you want a quick not-so-big-meal, Kelli suggests.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the green pepper, onion, oregano and pepper. Stir in tomato sauce and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in macaroni and 2 tablespoons cheese. Transfer to an ungreased 1-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 2 servings.
