The combination of canned kidney beans and macaroni is a rather unusual one, but it makes a very appetizing dish, especially when canned tomatoes are added, as in the recipe here given.
Sufficient to serve eight.
Ingredients
* 1 cupful macaroni
* 2 quarts water
* 2 teaspoonfuls salt
* 2 tablespoonfuls butter
* 2 tablespoonfuls flour
* 3/4 cupful hot milk
* 1/2 cupful canned tomatoes
* 1 teaspoonful salt
* 1/4 teaspoonful pepper
* 1 cupful canned kidney beans
Instructions
Cook the macaroni in the salted water until it is tender and then drain it.
Prepare the sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan, rubbing the flour into it until a smooth paste is formed, and then adding slowly the hot milk. Cook this sauce for 5 minutes.
Force the tomato through a sieve, turn it into the hot sauce, and season all with salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the macaroni and the kidney beans, and then heat all together. When the food is thoroughly heated, turn it into a dish and serve.
