Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Tomato

Jared and I were looking for a new macaroni and cheese recipe for this week, which we could prepare Sunday night before our crazy week. We found the recipe on www.allrecipes.com.
We changed it a bit since we did not have tomato soup in the house.

Ingredients:
1 pound macaroni
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup (we used 1 can of diced tomatoes)
1 1/4 cups milk
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
8 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Pour in pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

2) In large bowl, combine macaroni, soup, milk, cheese and 6 tablespoons butter. Pour into 9x13 baking dish. Top with bread crumbs and dot with remaining butter. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Jared thought it was perfect with the diced tomatoes. He thinks a bit of sliced jalapeƱos would be a great addition too.

I enjoyed the change of consistency with the diced tomatoes and the bread crumbs. The recipe makes a lot of food (more than enough for 2...and then some)!
