Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

8 ounces elbow macaroni
12 ounces Italian sausage, mild or hot
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced

3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup provolone or jack cheese shredded
directions
Cook the macaroni in boiling water; drain thoroughly.
Crumble sausage and cook until well browned. Lift sausage out of pan with slotted spoon and set aside. Discard all but 2 tab drippings.
To the drippings add the butter and onion and cook, stirring, until onion is limp. Add garlic, pepper and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Gradually stir in the milk to make a smooth sauce, cooking and stirring until thick, about 3 minutes. Add oregano, basil, salt, Parmesan cheese, sausage and drained macaroni; stir to mix well.
Place in a greased 2 1/2 to 3 quart baking dish. Sprinkle the provolone or jack cheese on the top and bake uncovered in a 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes. May be refrigerated before cooking; if so, cook for about 35 minutes or until center of casserole is hot.
