Melt butter in stove to oven casserole dish over med-low. Add seasonings and flour, stirring to make a thick paste. Allow flour and butter to cook slightly.

Fold drained macaroni into casserole dish. You can serve this now or add breadcrumbs over top of the casserole, spray with Butter flavored cooking spray and put in a 425 degree oven until slightly browned. Alternative: you can butter a lasagna glass pan and load the mixture into that. Place sliced tomatoes and breadcrumbs over top and bake as directed above.
