MACARONI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
If you like macaroni and cheese, mixed veggies, and Polish sausage you'll love this casserole. ( I always use the hot and spicy Polish sausage, and I always get lots of compliments, but you can use your favorite Polish sausage.)

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated cheddar cheese and creamy milk create a rich and flavorful cheese sauce.
- Cook the macaroni pasta al dente according to the package instructions. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still retain their shape and nutrients.
- Season the casserole well with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Top the casserole with a crispy breadcrumb topping for added texture and flavor. You can use panko breadcrumbs, crushed crackers, or even crushed potato chips.
- Bake the casserole until it's golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut into slices.
