SAUSAGE, PASTA AND CHEESE SKILLET

MY RECIPE BOX

Posted on September 7, 2011 by The Southern Lady

This is a quick and easy recipe to make for your family anytime. Just add some cornbread and you have a meal. This recipe is very versatile, too, as you can use different meats and vegetables.

1 small onion, chopped

1 pound package smoked sausage, sliced

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth

1/2 cup water

2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked

8 ounces velveeta cheese, cubed

1 (14 ounce) bag Kroger frozen garden blend vegetables (I used the broccoli, sugar snap peas, green beans, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onions and red peppers)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Melt butter in large skillet. Brown onion and sausage. Pour in chicken broth and and water and bring to a boil. Stir in macaroni and simmer about 10 minutes until pasta is tender. Add vegetables and stir. Sprinkle cheese over vegetables and cook about 10 to 12 minutes longer until cheese is melted and vegetables are tender stirring often. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Enjoy!

(Note: You can use chicken, ham or polish sausage and any kind of pasta in this dish. Different vegetables, too)

We really enjoy this dish when the weather starts getting cooler in the fall and I like it even better the second day.
