Macaroni and Tomatoes is a 1960s classic popular in the south. This dish combines macaroni with stewed tomatoes and butter for a nostalgic, comforting side or main dish.

As a kid I was not a fan. As I got older I learned to appreciate the taste and texture of stewed tomatoes but back then, not so much.
