Instructions
- Place the sausage and the diced onion in a large sauce pan or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Break up the meat and cook until the sausage is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Then stir in the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, water and half and half. Then stir in the elbow macaroni. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for 14-18 minutes until the pasta is tender.
- Uncover and then remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese and allow the heat from the meal to melt the cheese. Serve while warm and enjoy!
Notes
- *Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
- You can easily make this recipe with ground beef or ground sausage if you prefer.
- We recommend shredding your own cheddar cheese for this recipe as it melts smoother and is more creamy.
