  • 5
    Now, blend the mixture with the macaroni.

    Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. ( I used a 10 inch deep dish pie plate ) fits perfectly. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  • 7
    Melt your butter and mix with the crumbs. Spread evenly atop the pasta mixture. I sprinkled the top with a few shakes of paprika.

    Bake for 30 minutes or till golden and bubbly. This casserole is great, served with a Caesar salad.
