GLORIFIED TOMATO BEEFY MAC'N CHEESE image

I make this often because it is tasty, easy and quick to prepare. I wanted something a little different from the regular Macaroni and Cheese or "Hamburger Helper" type dish, so I visited my pantry and refrigerator and came up with this dish. This, along with a small salad and rolls made a great meal. My lady friends enjoy it....

I'm curious to try this recipe with different types of cheese. I think it would be good with a sharp cheddar or a smoked gouda.

This dish was a lot of work to make. It's not something I would make on a weeknight.

The macaroni and cheese was a little dry. I would add more milk or cream next time.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but I loved this dish. The tomatoes added a subtle sweetness that really complemented the beef and cheese.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes on hand, so this dish is a lifesaver.
