I love how easy this recipe is! Â Plus the creamy cheesy-ness is a winner as well.
And, did I mention, simple.
Â
Start off by cooking your macaroni according to the package. I used elbow macaroni, but shells or rotini would work great too.
While the pasta is boiling, saute the onion and sausage. After the onion is softened a bit add the frozen veggies, and continue to saute for about 5 minutes.
After the pasta is done mix everything together in a lightly greased casserole dish.
Next up is to make the cheese sauce. I just used the same pan that I boiled the pasta in. Melt the butter, then add the flour to make a roux. Slowly add the cream, and stir until slightly thickened. After add the cheese and stir until melted.
Mix the cheese sauce into the casserole dish and then top with shredded cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake for about 25 minutes at 350.
There you have it! An easy and tasty dinner.
