Good, but felt like it was missing something. The tomatoes have a lot of flavor, but that flavor doesn't go into the macaroni enough. Maybe I just should have put more salt and pepper, or maybe it would be good with some other spice added, like garlic as another reviewer mentioned.

This is very simple to make, and a good base, though without additions, I found it too bland. I think I'll throw in some garlic next time.

I used a 1 lb. 12 oz. can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, and used 2 c. uncooked elbow macaroni. I topped with 2 T. butter and a little pepper. I didn't feel it needed extra salt as the tomatoes and chilies were salty enough. It was a quick simple meal to prepare and gave me lots of comfort :) I used whole wheat macaroni. I will be making this again, and I think the next time I will brown up some pork chops and put them on top of the macaroni, and then cover with the tomatoes and bake. The last 5 minutes of baking I took the cover off. YUM! Thanks for posting Jen!

I added freeze dried red onion and freeze dried crushed garlic to add some taste to it

Really good! I will make this again. I did it a bit differently though. I pan fried some chicken breast tenders then once golden brown tossed the can of tomatoes, undrained, and the garlic on the chicken breast tenders and got it hot. Poured all that on top of cooked Mac with the butter and cooked per recipe. Then before serving, grated fresh parmesan on top. Great!
