A delightful twist on the classic baked macaroni, combining creamy cheese and tangy tomatoes for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
Cook the macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and transfer to a casserole dish.
Don't overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook in the oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, savory, sugar, salt, pepper, green onions, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the tomato mixture over the macaroni in the casserole dish and stir gently to combine.
Ensure the macaroni is evenly coated with the mixture.
Lay the slices of mild cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the entire surface for a cheesy crust.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour this mixture over the casserole without stirring.
Pour slowly to distribute the liquid evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Tomato Macaroni Bake!
Resting allows the casserole to set and makes serving easier.
