Macaroni and Tomatoes
Print This Post
I don’t know how much more frugal you can get than this, and it’s one of my most favorite comfort foods.
Boil macaroni as directed on the package. Drain. Add a can of crushed tomatoes. That’s it for the basics.
I like to add salt, pepper and butter to mine when it’s done cooking.
I am poor, and this is a filling meal, but if I ever get rich, I’ll still eat this several times a month.

I have had a version of this since I was a kid. My mom use to make it with tomato sauce instead. She would make the macaroni & drain, add a little butter, then a can of tomato sauce, and pepper (salt if desired). I loved it then, I love it now. Agreed that it is a great comfort food.

My cousin showed me a similar version. She uses ramen noodles (no spice packet) and home canned tomatoes (which taste much better than store bought). YUM!

We make a dish that is something like this, only it uses hot dogs. Put a can of tomato sauce and three cans of water in a sauce pan,add a pound of sliced hotdogs. Bring to a boil and add a pound of macaroni.Cook until macaroni is done.This recipie has been in our family for generations and we have not found anyone who doesn’t like it.Have used just 1/2 LB. hotdogs and it is still good.Can use canned tomatoes but we like the sauce best.

I like the sound of Joyce’s version. A nice one pot dish. I like one pot dishes. I’ll bet you could also use the link sausages in this as well too.

This is my family’s version: Cook and drain the macaroni, add 1 can of tomato sauce, sprinkle on some chili powder, and add some dried parsley flakes. Yummy! My mom made this when I was little and I raised my kids on it; now they make it, too.
