Macaroni and Sausage

This recipe was developed many years ago when living in Guadalajara, attending University of Mexico. I occasionally make this when I get lonely for Guadalajara, and pig out. lol

Ingredients

• 1 lb. tube shaped macaroni
• Boiling salted water
• 1 lb. chorizo sausage (I now use packaged Italian sausage)
• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 3 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
• 1 tsp. oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 oz. Jack Cheese, shredded

Directions

Boil macaroni in salted water to cover generously. Cook until just tender; drain.

Remove the skin on sausage and saute in oil until browned. As meat is browning, break into pieces. Remove sausage; set aside. Cook onion in remaining oil. Add tomato sauce, oregano, salt and pepper. Arrange in a 2-qt. baking dish in layers; macaroni, sausage, sauce, and topped with cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
