How To Make Macaroni and Tomato (Old Appalachian Recipe)

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

My granny came from Floyd county KY to live with us in Texas for a few yrs. She taught me gardening, cooking, how to sew, iron and do laundry by the time I was 11. This is one of the dishes I grew up on, minus all the sugar. A pan of cast iron cornbread and fresh green onions from the garden and I was all set. It might be simple, but good food doesn't have to be complicated and when she was raising 9 kids it wasn't. Just good and filling.

She is a smart lady, thank you for watching.

These simple recipes will be useful again! My grandmother was a baked potato genius. Anyone else ever been eating a salad and found a loaded baker in the middle 😄

I am retired now. I grew up eating Mac and tomatoes. It is to this day my all time comfort food. Love it with pork chops. Never added sugar just salt and pepper. ❤🇨🇦

[@bonnienardell3961]

I was born and raised in Ga. I use to make this all the time and season with bacon grease. Always a favorite

[@machelleromine2850]

First thing I ever made growing up. W/o the sugar. Delicious. Comfort food Ty for your video

[@paisley1134]

Oh my mom grew up eating this. I love it she taught me how to make it. Her mom taught her. We put celery and onions in ours. Southern MO is where she grew up, no sugar in theirs. Michigan is where I grew up, no sugar in mine.

[@TheNaturesFriends]

Sounds good, thank you for watching.

[@bluewolf4915]

We always made this during canning season back on the 1960's here in Upper Michigan but we cook the macaroni right in the tomatoes. We also didn't use sugar but added a whole stick of butter and lots of salt and pepper. Looks good

[@TheNaturesFriends]

We have eaten this back 50 -60 years ago in my family ! But mom cooked onions first but not to much , must be a little crispy and translucid, not brown . Then she put a big chunk of butter, waited till almost all melted and drop the aldente macaroni in stirring and she put a few tables spoon of cheez Wizz and when all melted she drop the tomatoes can in it with lot's of black pepper and some celery salt , oh my , that was soooooo good , i remember all my friends wanted to eat with me when mom made this !!! I also made a lot's for my daughter's when they was young , i always made a huge huge batch of this for lunch for my girls and their friends and today its her making it and I still make it today.....😊 simple dish always delicious ! 😊 time travel dish!!!!!!!❤

@@TheNaturesFriends It was very good.

[@Mudcat50]

Right there with you, pal! I had fresh half-runners, macaroni and tomatoes and cornbread just yesterday...man it was good!

[@jeezusjr]

Was raised on this. My family called it noodles and tomatoes and it got us through the end of the month after the food stamps ran out. Also Chilaquiles was another favorite.

[@TheNaturesFriends]

Great meal i love it Thanks for watching.

[@TammyGraves-b4h]

I live in Georgia I was raised on macaroni and tomatoes but never had it with sugar we cooked ours with a little bacon grease

[@emilywhitfield2780]

My family made this alot especially when I was I child. Mom used shell macaroni while grandma used elbow! They both used home canned tomatoes bacon and onions!! I don't cook the macaroni separately I add them uncooked to the tomatoes! They absorb more flavor!! I add a little ketchup instead of sugar!! Love it with hot sauce and grated cheese!!

[@TheNaturesFriends]

Sounds good thank you for watching.

[@crissytate4933]

I ate this when growing up from KY still love it some bacon gre

[@MissouriOldTimer]

[@TheNaturesFriends]

[@apt221bbakerst]

I am from Indiana and we never put sugar in it. Simply macaroni or pasta, canned diced tomatoes, butter, salt and pepper. This must have been a Depression recipe. I still make it with Rotini.

[@TheNaturesFriends]

[@traceythomas1622]

[@TheNaturesFriends]

[@tubalcain1]
