I found this recipe in a cookbook 33 years ago, when I was newly married. It's tasty and simple to prepare-just right for a busy couple. It's also easy to double for a family of four.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Dash pepper

Directions

  • 1. In a skillet, cook sausage, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the macaroni, tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, water, oregano and pepper.
  • 2. Transfer to a lightly greased 1-qt. baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and casserole is heated through.
