Did you use fresh tomatoes? My mom would use stewed canned and saute them in butter and a bit of onion. How much cheese and milk? 9x13 pan?Macaroni and cheese with tomatoes. According to Cook's Country, this is a dish that could be found in the automats back around the beginning of the 20th century. People would buy dishes of this for their lunch. I made it a while back one night when Rick's mom came for dinner and she remembered it from years ago. It's pretty good, made with half-and-half (I use skim evaporated milk) and chicken stock. It makes a full pan, so there's always leftovers. And it makes a nice change from regular mac and cheese.
