Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Pour the macaroni into a saucepan and place over medium heat; stir in the butter, bacon grease, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes with juice, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Stir while cooking until butter and bacon grease has melted and incorporated completely, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit about 20 minutes before serving.

STOVE TOP MACARONI AND TOMATOES
My parents made this often when I was a child and it is still one of my favourite meals as an adult. Quick, tasty and cheap! We usually have this as a main dish with a salad and rolls. Measurements are approximate as I don't follow a recipe and it can be adjusted for personal preference. Can use whole, crushed or diced tomatoes

Steps:
- Cook macaroni according to direcions.
- Drain and return to pot.
- Add tomatoes including juices and heat on low/medium until hot.
- If using diced or whole tomatoes, crush.
- Be careful macaroni doesn't stick to bottom of pot - stir frequently!
- I have added butter and/or cheese whiz for additional flavour.
- Depending on amount of macaroni cooked, I have used 28 oz can of tomatoes.
- I have also used italian style tomatoes and chili tomatoes which give it a slightly different flavour, but plain tomatoes are best for our family preference. I have tried canned tomatoes with olive oil and spices (to be used for brushetta) and they are too oily and doesn't result have good results.

STOVE TOP MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:
- Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water for recommended cooking time on box.
- Drain and return to pot and add butter.
- Stir macaroni and butter until well blended.
- Add the rest of the ingredients (evaporated milk through pepper) and stir well.
- Set pot over very low heat and cook macaroni mixture.
- Stir constantly until sauce is smooth and macaroni is steaming, 5-10 minutes. The sauce should thicken, if not, slightly raise the heat and cook another 5 minutes.
- DO NOT OVERHEAT OR SAUCE WILL CURDLE.
- If you have family members who like baked macaroni, you can put this into a baking dish and top with breadcrumbs, and then cook in a 350 degree over for 5-10 minutes. Macaroni will still be creamy, and there will be a nice crunchy topping.
Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to ensure that the macaroni has enough room to cook evenly.
- Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Al dente macaroni is the best choice for this dish.
- Use a variety of tomatoes for a more flavorful sauce. Cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes are all good choices.
- Add a pinch of sugar to the sauce to help balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Garnish the macaroni with fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Stove top macaroni and tomatoes is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
