This recipe has been in our family for over 50 years, and it's always been our favorite casserole! Now that our four children are grown and gone, I don't often make family-sized meals...but we still enjoy this casserole often, because it's so simple to prepare and reheats nicely.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup sauerkraut
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook pork over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, sauerkraut and sugar to skillet. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  2. Drain macaroni; add to skillet with cheese. Spoon into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes.
If Cooking for Two: Casserole makes delicious leftovers since it reheats well.
