Three Cheese Macaroni Recipe

	Breezeatdawn / All my dishes 5 months, 1 week ago Homemade mac 'n' cheese at it's finest! I love a good homemade baked macaroni and cheese and this one is full of flavor. My husband and I both love the added flavor of the tomatoes. My kids love it without (my 6 year old says it's his favorite food EVER!)... More Prep:25m Cook:55m Servings:6	Breezeatdaw

Ingredients

2 c. uncooked elbow macaroni

4 Tbsp. butter or margarine

3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning

½-1 tsp. black pepper

½ tsp. salt

2 c. milk

¾ c. (3 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese

¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese

1 can (14 ½ oz.) diced tomatoes (I've tried the flavored ones but find the plain tastes best, you can also omit the tomatoes if you don't like them)

1 c. (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

½ c. dry bread crumbs

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Spray 2-quart round casserole with nonstick cooking spray (or 9X12 baking dish)

COOK pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, MELT butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, Italian seasoning, pepper and salt, stirring until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Add Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses; stir until cheese melt.

LAYER pasta, tomatoes and cheese sauce in prepared dish.

COMBINE mozzarella cheese and bread crumbs in small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over casserole.

BAKE, uncovered, 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
