    This was a recipe that my Grandma threw together in her kitchen one day during a streak of creativity. It became a family favorite and I have used it for all kinds of events and get-togethers. My grandma passed away a few months ago and I'm sharing this in her memory.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Boil Macaroni According to Package Directions Until Almost Al Dente. Meanwhile, Slice the Onions Into About 1/4 Inch Thick Slices.

    2
    Done

    Drain Macaroni and Rinse Under Hot Water.

    3
    Done

    Spread a Layer of Macaroni About 1/2 Inch Deep in the Bottom of a Large, Deep Casserole Dish With a Lid. I've Found That Glass, Stoneware or Corningware Works Best.

    4
    Done

    Lay Cheese Slices Evenly on Top of Macaroni, Tearing Slices to Fill in Holes as Necessary. If You Like This Really Cheesy, Repeat This Layer.

    5
    Done

    Spread Onion Slices One Layer Thick Over Cheese.

    6
    Done

    Slice Tomatoes in Half Lengthwise and Place Cut Side Down Onto Onion Layer.

    7
    Done

    Sprinkle Salt and Pepper Sparingly on Tomatoes.

    8
    Done

    Place Small, Thin Pats of Butter or Margarine on Tomatoes. I Don't Have an Exact Amount Because I Just "eyeball" It.

    9
    Done

    Repeat All Layers Beginning With the Macaroni.

    10
    Done

    When Your Casserole Dish Is Almost Full or You Are Out of Ingredients Pour About 1/3 to 1/2 Cup (depending on How Much Liquid You Want in the End) of the Juice from the Tomato Cans Evenly Over Casserole.

    11
    Done

    Cover Casserole Dish and Put in the Oven Pre-Heated to 350 Degrees.

    12
    Done

    Bake 2 Hours, or Until Onions Look Done and Cheese Is Melted (here's Where the Transparent Casserole Dish Comes in Handy!).

    13
    Done

    Remove from Oven, Let Stand About 5 Minutes and Enjoy!

    14
    Done

    Note: This Casserole Has a Bad Habit of Bubbling Over in the Oven. to Contain the Mess I Either Put the Dish on an Old Aluminum Foil Lined Cookie Sheet, or I Put the Foil Lined Cookie Sheet Under the Casserole Dish on the Rack Below It.
