Baked Macaroni and Cheese

This dish is really easy and very yummy. If you double it up, it would be a great thing to bring to pot lucks. You can also customize this dish with adding different veggies, cheese and spices.

I derived this recipe from www.chefandphotographer.blogspot.com.

1 egg
3/4 cup low fat sour cream
1/2 cup non fat or low fat milk
1/2 red and 1/2 yellow bell peppers diced (while the water boils saute with olive oil for a few minutes to soften up)
1 pinch of Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 cups (8 oz) grated cheese- you can use all cheddar or your favorite cheese or a combination whatever you have on hand
4 1/2 cups elbow noodles cooked
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tbs melted butter or olive oil
pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika

Pre heat the oven to 350. While you boil the water and cook the pasta, in a bowl mix the egg through the ground pepper until mixed. Add in the cheese and mix, then fold in the cooked noodles. Spread into a greased 9x9 casserole pan and pat down to evenly fill the pan. In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, butter and salt, pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle over the pasta and cover the pan with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
