A Little Different Baked Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
• 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, sliced
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.

Spread half the macaroni into a 9×13-inch casserole dish; top with half the tomatoes and half the Cheddar cheese. Repeat layering with remaining macaroni, tomatoes, and Cheddar cheese. Pour milk over entire casserole; sprinkle with crushed crackers.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and crackers are golden, about 30 minutes.
