Baked Elbow Macaroni With Italian Sausage and Peppers image

Found this recipe on the box of whole wheat macaroni, and thought I would give it a try. Very good. I used fat free cheese and it tasted just as good as full fat. Lower in fat, and loaded with fiber.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The peppers and spinach are hidden in the sauce, so they won't even notice them.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used veggie sausage instead of Italian sausage. It turned out great! The dish was still very flavorful, and the cheese topping was perfect.

I served this dish with a side of garlic bread, and it was the perfect meal. The garlic bread soaked up all the delicious sauce from the macaroni and cheese.

I baked this dish for a little longer than the recipe called for, and it turned out perfectly. The macaroni was cooked through and the cheese was melted and bubbly.

I'm not a big fan of Italian sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It turned out great! The dish was still very flavorful, and the cheese topping was perfect.
