Old-Fashioned Macaroni, Tomato, and Cheese Bake image

This is a simple and inexpensive version of an old-country style dish just like grandma used to bake. It really takes you back a few decades. I combine macaroni, sharp Cheddar cheese, and petite diced tomatoes with other herbs and spices for a delicious old-fashioned favorite.

Time 1h8m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes in juice
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups milk
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon brown mustard
2 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon paprika, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare an 8 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Pour into the prepared baking dish and add the butter, Cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes; stir.
  • Combine the eggs, milk, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, brown mustard, hot sauce, parsley, nutmeg, pepper, and salt in a food processor; pulse until smooth; pour over the macaroni. Sprinkle paprika over everything.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the middle is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
