"You totally lose the taste of the mac n' cheese with the tomatoes and tomato paste. I'd probably omit the tomatoe paste if I were to do this again and instead of box mac n' cheese, create a simple mac with elbow noodles milk and cheddar before adding to the ground beef mixture. For a quick meal and large family with simple tastes - this is fine."
