1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 larges Fresh Florida tomatoes
2½ cup Elbow macaroni; (uncooked)
6 tablespoons Ketchup; divided
3 larges Eggs; lightly beaten
12 slices American processed cheese; divided (8 ounces)
1 Hot dog; thinly sliced
; (about 1/4 cup)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe. Core and cut tomatoes into ¼ inch thick slices; set aside.

Cook macaroni in unsalted water according to package directions (makes about 5 cups); drain well. Lightly spray a 12-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl combine macaroni with 4 tablespoons of the ketchup, the eggs and 8 slices of the cheese torn into small pieces. Spoon macaroni mixture onto prepared pizza pan, pressing down lightly to even out. Around outside edge, arrange overlapping tomato slices; brush remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup over tomatoes. Cut 4 remaining cheese slices diagonally in halves; place partially over tomatoes. Arrange hot dog slices in center. Bake until mixture is hot, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Yield: 6 portions
