Carol's Notes:

Another family recipe that I have been making for years. My kids still love it and ask me to make it when they come for a visit.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. :)

My recipe and photos.

Directions

In a large pot, saute garlic in olive oil over low heat (careful not to burn it). Add tomatoes, water, bouillion cubes, oregano and pepper.

Simmer, covered, 30 minutes on low heat. Add kidney beans with liquid, and cook 5 more minutes.

Cook macaroni according to pkg. directions, drain well, and add to beans and sauce. (It will be soupy at first, but will dry up a little the longer it sits). We wait 10-15 minutes before serving.

If you are really hungry, you don't have to wait. The taste is the same either way. Enjoy. :)
