Turn Your Kitchen Into A Classroom!

updated September 16, 2007

Involve your children in the cooking process! Not only does it help children follow directions, complete a step-by-step process, and reinforce reading and math skills, but It's fun and delicious, too! Here's a fun recipe to try:

Baked Macaroni, Tomato, and Cheese Casserole

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) raw elbow macaroni
1 small onion, chopped
1 can (28-oz/796-mL) diced tomatoes
1 cup (250 mL) cubed sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup (250 mL) water
1 tsp. (5 mL) salt
1/4 tsp. (1 mL) black pepper
1 tbsp. (15 mL) butter
1 cup (250 mL) bread crumbs

Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-cup (2-L) ovenproof casserole with a lid.
2. In the prepared casserole, combine macaroni, onion, tomatoes, cheese, water, salt and pepper and stir to combine well. Place the lid on the casserole and bake for 1 hour, opening the oven and giving the mixture a stir about halfway through the baking time.
3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crumbs are lightly toasted.
4. After the casserole has baked for 1 hour, remove the lid and sprinkle the buttered crumbs over top. Return to the oven, place under the broiler element and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until browned.

Servings: 4

How kids can help:
Measure ingredients, mix together all the ingredients in the casserole dish, and sprinkle with buttered crumbs.
