Elbow macaroni • Margarine • Onions • Garlic (optional) • Ground meat (85-90% lean is best, anything less and you may need to drain off some fat) • Salt • Pepper • 16 oz. Red kidney beans • 16 oz Young Sweet Peas (recommend use Le Suer brand, only kind I've ever used for this) • Chopped Pimentos (usually find them near olives) • Cajun seasoning • Salt & Pepper to taste
