Backstory: My mom really sucked at cooking, so bad, in middle/high school, I started just eating popcorn for supper instead of her cooking. As a kid, the only thing she cooked that I really enjoyed was blue box mac'n'cheese and fried chicken nuggets with an ungodly amount of ketchup. I ate this at least once every week. I always got mad when the ketchup got mixed up in my mac'n'cheese, so I added the sun dried tomatoes (actually oven dried) kind of in spite of my younger self

I tried to make a grown-up version. I enjoyed eating it. Hope you guys like it...
