Main Dish
- Oven:
350°F
- Skill Level:
Beginner
Prep: About 10 minutes | Bake: About 50-65 minutes | Makes about 4–6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
- 8 ounces Colby or Colby Longhorn cheese, cut into small cubes
- 4 cups (32 ounces) tomato juice
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Add the uncooked macaroni, cubed Colby cheese, and tomato juice to the casserole dish. Stir well so the pasta is evenly distributed and well coated with liquid.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and stir well. If the macaroni is still firm and the dish looks dry, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup additional tomato juice, stir, cover tightly, and continue baking until the macaroni is tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for about 5-10 minutes more, if needed, until the macaroni is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Kid Cooking Tip: This three-ingredient recipe is a good choice for beginner cooks because there is no separate pot of pasta to boil. Kids can measure the macaroni and tomato juice, add the cheese and help stir everything together in the casserole dish.
What is Colby Longhorn cheese? Longhorn refers to the traditional cylindrical shape in which cheeses such as Colby were made. Regular Colby cheese works well in this recipe and is usually easier to find. For the best melting, buy a block and cut it into small cubes.
