Macaroni and Tomatoes

MJane's Note:

My mother made this often for my daughter and her neighbor friends when they came home from school each day. They loved it and asked their parents to call my mom for recipe. Of course, it would normally be a side dish.

I made this exactly according to recipe except that I only used 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt based upon other reviews. Very good, and my family liked it.

Great kid-friendly dish. Simple goodness. A bit heavy on the salt, but I adjusted to a little less than half. Next time I'll probably just use a teaspoon of Lawry's and some pepper but I tend to go light on the salt. My kids liked the buttery simplicity of this a lot and it is beyond easy. Thanks for posting.
