Terry, thank you, I'm sure DH will want to try this, once I show it to him.
A little over a year ago, I posted this recipe that we have been making for quite a few years. The main recipe is simple and easy, but I am posting it here again for you to see the one thing that makes it so good and different from other recipes. The TOMATO'S!! Hope you will try it.
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
1 pkg. (8 oz.) elbow macaroni
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup AP flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated
1 large tomato, thickly sliced
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Cook macaroni as package label directs; drain.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to boiling, stirring. Reduce heat, and simmer mixture 1 minute. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese and the macaroni. Pour into a 1 1/2 qt. shallow casserole. Arrange tomato slices over top. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
4. Bake 15 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown. Makes 4 to 6 servings

Note: In addition to the cheese sprinkled on the tomatoes, I also like to sprinkle some Panko or bread crumbs. And DH likes to go crazy using different types of cheese.
