My neighbor/owner in the twin house we rented 1/2 of, put tomato sauce and
tomato bits into her m&c.

She did some other strange things in other dishes. We never complained
until we "crossed the hall" back into our half, among ourselves. Seeing as
how my ex and she worked together at a certain phone company and she
charged us next to nothing for rent, we never brought it up.

When I first encountered a "white" sauce in macaroni and cheese
I nearly had a reflux event.

Nowadays, it's tolerable and can even be good, but no way is it
what I prefer.

Cheddar and tomato? Was she English? I remember my grandfather
making an open face toasted (cheddar) cheese sandwiches and topping
them with stewed tomatoes. Not my cup of tea.

Sicilian-American. (By that I mean, born in the U.S.
but 100% Sicilian.)

nah. my dad wanted to send me to catholic high school, which was close
enough, but i said 'no way.'

they caught me smoking in the boys' room twice in high school, but the rest
of my crimes were pretty much undetected.

One of my grandmothers was English. One of the things she served most often for dinner was macaroni
and cheese, and she usually served it with stewed tomatoes.

Nor have I. I never cared much for stewed tomatoes.

I actually like them, but tend to use them as an "ingredient" in
tomato sauce. I toss a can's worth in the mini-processor and call
them crushed.

Ahh that is a different thing. I will do that too, but as part of a
sauce/whatever, not just the tomatoes stewed.
