A quickie dish that I once made for my sister in her kitchen it has
become my nephew's favorite) consists of a can of kidney beans, a can of
diced tomatoes, two cans of water, and a pound of elbows cooked together
until the elbows are done. (The cans are 15 oz., or a pound if you're
lucky.) Add water during cooking if needed. Stir in up to a pound of
grated cheddar if you like. I typically use half a pound. Comfort food!

No credit to me here. The recipe came off the back of a Ronzoni box.
