BAKED MAC AND CHEESE WITH ITALIAN STEWED TOMATOES
I was surprised at how much I loved this mac and cheese. It's creamy, cheesy and has just enough Italian seasoning and tomatoes to make it a bit different. This would be great for a potluck or as a side dish. The Italian seasoning isn't overpowering so this would go nicely with just about anything.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven at 375 deg. Boil elbow macaroni with small amount of oil and a little salt. Drain and return to the pot.
- 2. Cut up the Velveeta cheese into cubes and put in a microwave friendly bowl. Add the butter to the bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove, stir and put it back for 1 minute. Remove and stir and put it back for 1 minute more. Repeat until cheese is creamy and butter melted.
- 3. In a small sauce pan put the 2 cans of stewed tomatoes and heat. Add the spices. When bubbly remove.
- 4. Pour the milk into the macaroni and mix well. Then mix in the cheese. Add the stewed tomatoes, but use a large spoon with holes to drain away the sauce. Save the sauce.
- 5. Mix everything well in the pot and then transfer to a 9 x 14 baking pan. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Top should be golden brown. Remove and let it sit for 15 minutes. And serve.
