Ingredients

1 spray(s) cooking spray   
8 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow   
10 3/4 oz Campbell's 98% Fat-Free Cream Of Celery Soup, or Chicken Soup, or other brand   
1 cup(s) fat-free mayonnaise   
8 oz low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded   
1/2 medium sweet red pepper(s), chopped   
6 oz canned pimento, chopped   
4 oz whole-wheat crackers, mashed into crumbs   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9 X 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, about 7 minutes; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add soup, mayonnaise, cheese, pepper and pimentos; mix well to combine.

  • Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and top with cracker crumbs.

  • Bake, uncovered, until top is golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.

Chef Tips

  • We renovated Macaroni and Cheese Casserole by:
    • Using low-fat cheddar cheese instead of the full-fat variety.

    • Using fat-free mayonnaise instead of regular.

    • Reducing the amount of cracker crumbs in the topping.
