How To Make macaroni and cheese with a twist

    Drain cooked macaroni noodles. Add all other ingredients. Mix well.
  • 2
    Put macaroni mixture in a buttered 13x9 inch pan.
  • 3

  • 4
    Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Good with ham, turkey, chicken, pork or alone! Note: you can use more or less bell pepper to suite your taste. I always use the red bell peppers in this recipe not pimentos. I also love onions so if you want to use a small onion, that would work.
