Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
6 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
1 quart half-and-half
2 cups chicken broth
4 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
  • 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, return macaroni to pot, and stir tomatoes into the macaroni. Cook over medium heat until the macaroni absorbs some of the liquid from the tomatoes, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly stream half-and-half and chicken broth into the butter mixture while stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook while stirring continually until thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Melt mild Cheddar cheese and sharp Cheddar cheese into the butter mixture one handful at a time, stirring to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Season the cheese mixture with pepper and pour over the macaroni; stir to coat pasta evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with crushed crackers.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the liquid is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

BAKED FETA AND TOMATO POLENTA (MAKE AHEAD CASSEROLE)



Baked Feta and Tomato Polenta (Make Ahead Casserole) image

This is my ultimate comfort food. Tomato, basil, cheese and polenta with garlic and onions....I'm the only one in my family who likes polenta so I don't make it very often because I'd eat the whole thing in 2 days. I first made this 2 weeks before my due date with our last child when my friend was coming to visit. She now makes it as well. She uses 2 tubes of the already made polenta (tomato and basil flavor) and just layers the cheese in between for a faster meal. Adapted from Simple Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin. She is one of my ultimate favorite cookbook authors. Approximate cooking times.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, minced
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and crushed in hands
fresh ground pepper, generous amount
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
2 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For filling, heat oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and saute until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, season with pepper, and cook until the juices thicken and are almost evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in the basil, and remove from heat.
  • For polenta, preheat the oven to 400 degrees (if making right away). Grease a 2-to 2 1/2 quart shallow baking dish.
  • Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Place the cornmeal in a large bowl and whisk in the cold water. (For lump-free polenta) Continue to whisk while pouring it into the boiling broth. Bring to a boil, whisking almost constantly. Once the polenta begins to boil, reduce heat to medium. Whisk polenta continuously until it begins to tear away from the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes. Whisk in salt, 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Immediately pour half of polenta into baking dish. Quickly spread on the tomato mixture. Crumble the feta evenly over the tomato mixture. Immediately spoon on the remaining polenta, covering entire surface. Sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Dot with butter bits.
  • Let the polenta rest at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours. If longer than one hour, cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before baking. Bake 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and golden on top. Let polenta sit 10 minutes or so before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Heirloom varieties are a good choice, as they have a more intense flavor than hybrid tomatoes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to mix and match different types of cheese to create a casserole that's uniquely yours. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and ricotta.
  • Add some herbs and spices: To give your casserole extra flavor, add some herbs and spices. Good choices include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done cooking when the tomatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will make the tomatoes mushy and the cheese tough.

Conclusion:

Baked tomato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover tomatoes, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor, baked tomato casserole is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
