I used a full cup of uncooked macaroni. This was quick and easy! I used black beans and omitted the green chiles.

Sounds delicious. Do you remember in the early 70s when everyone was cooking food on top of their engines when they traveled? Those were some of the best recipes ever. Been a long, LONG time since I saw anyone pulled over to baste their pork roast.....
Have a great day.
