MY GRANDMA'S MACARONI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Boil macaroni according to package directions until almost al dente. Meanwhile, slice the onions into about 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Drain macaroni and rinse under hot water.
• Spread a layer of macaroni about 1/2 inch deep in the bottom of a large, deep casserole dish with a lid. I've found that glass, stoneware or Corningware works best.
• Lay cheese slices evenly on top of macaroni, tearing slices to fill in holes as necessary. If you like this really cheesy, repeat this layer.
• Spread onion slices one layer thick over cheese.
• Slice tomatoes in half lengthwise and place cut side down onto onion layer.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper sparingly on tomatoes.
• Place small, thin pats of butter or margarine on tomatoes. I don't have an exact amount because I just "eyeball" it.
• Repeat all layers beginning with the macaroni.
• When your casserole dish is almost full or you are out of ingredients pour about 1/3 to 1/2 cup (depending on how much liquid you want in the end) of the juice from the tomato cans evenly over casserole.
• Cover casserole dish and put in the oven pre-heated to 350 degrees.
• Bake 2 hours, or until onions look done and cheese is melted (here's where the transparent casserole dish comes in handy!).
• Remove from oven, let stand about 5 minutes and enjoy!
• NOTE: This casserole has a bad habit of bubbling over in the oven. To contain the mess I either put the dish on an old aluminum foil lined cookie sheet, or I put the foil lined cookie sheet under the casserole dish on the rack below it.
