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 Jones No Sugar Pork Sausage Roll 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

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.
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.

I doubled the recipe so I would have leftovers, used spiral pasta instead of macaroni because that is what I had, and used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce, since that's what I had. After it was done baking, I added mozzarella cheese and covered it to melt it. This was very good and easy and I'll be making it again!!
