You can also make a variation of this omitting the the cheese and the baking process and just have macaroni and tomatoes.

my mom would make the same thing except 86 the cheese and add a dash of oregano and you add your own parm at the table

My mom made this often and we just called it Macaroni and Tomatoes ~ sometimes she added velveeta but never sugar. Try stewed tomatoes for added flavor.

Brings back childhood memories

DH's grandmother made this all his life and called poor man's spagghiti.
It is still one of our favs. I use the cheese and sugar. Yummmm
