Well, that certainly is a surprise, and in return for reminding me of
my MIL's style of cooking here is one of her terrible recipes;

A panful of boiled drained macaroni
A can of condensed tomato soup, not diluted.
Bacon, chopped up

table spoonful of dried mixed herbs. Ideally, these should be so
ancient that they retain the texture of iron filings.

Add the soup and bacon to the macaroni, stir over heat until the
bacon fat goes rubbery; stir in the iron filings and serve.

* MIL would have made your recipe with her home made salted green
beans, which had always turned grey limp and slippery like slugs.
