Rainy Day Casserole


LeDonna sent me this recipe a while ago and I forgot about it... with all the rain we've been having you'd think I would have remembered this aptly named casserole before now! She got the recipe from a church cookbook, says it's similar to goulash, and that it's great. Although it's named "rainy day casserole" I'm sure it'll taste good rain or shine - what's not to like about baked cheesy sausage-y pasta? Mmmmmm....




she didn't get a picture before scooping into it - I told her
 no worries, we can see what the inside looks like this way!


1 pound ground Italian pork sausage (remove casings if you buy links instead of bulk sausage)
1 cup minced onion
1 cup minced green pepper
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
2 cups milk
2 cups macaroni
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cups shredded colby jack cheese, divided (1 cup in the casserole, 1 cup on top)

Brown sausage in skillet, breaking apart with a fork. Add onion and green pepper; cook for several minutes. Place sausage mixture, tomatoes, milk, macaroni, sugar, chili powder, and 1 cup of cheese in a greased baking dish. Mix well and cover. Bake at 350' for 45 minutes or until macaroni is tender. Remove the cover, top with 1 cup of cheese, bake an additional 15 minutes more.
