I just have to add an old Itilian dish called Pasta fasool.  (not spelled that way but sounding)  Means pasta with beans.  Boil a pound of ditelene. Drane.  Take a can of red (light or dark ) kidney beans in medium pot and add a pound of hamberger.  two large spoons of butter.  Garlick salt to taste.  You can very any part to your likeing.  Two cans of beans if wanted, etc.  It is good with graded cheese on top.

Last portion I promise:

10 When done, put the lid back on and reduce heat to low for another 5-10 minutes and then turn off the heat.

11 (The best type of pan to use for this is a heavy cast aluminum dutch oven type pan--do not try to use stainless steel pans for this).

12 Beans: In a medium saucepan put the can of beans, the tomato sauce, salt, Goya Sazon con Achiote, Goya Sofrito, garlic powder, and the cubed cooked potato.

13 Place over medium low heat and cook stirring occasionally without a lid until it is thickened and hot.

Alex  I have mine in the freezer while the electric is still working. Where is that recipe for red beans and rice you promised. I will be eating a lot of each.

Be careful with the natural oils that are found in brown rice they shorten its shelf life....
