1 teaspoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped

1 cup milk
2 ¹⁄₂ cups cheddar cheese, grated (I use Kraft Tex-Mex Blend for extra flavour)

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the macaroni.
Combine the olive oil and butter in a small frying pan over medium heat.
Add the onion and celery and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
While sauteing the vegetables, add the macaroni to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
Combine the soup and the milk in the pot where you cooked the macaroni.
Stir in the sauteed vegetables and two cups of the cheese and stir until the cheese melts.
Add the macaroni and tomatoes.
Pour into a large oven-safe casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the bread crumbs.
Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
Broil until the top is brown and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
