Based on what I could remember of the way Mother made these, plus my own tweaks:
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
16 oz of uncooked pasta (I used large elbow macaroni)
28 oz diced tomatoes (petite, regular, however you like them)
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp (3 cubes) chicken or beef bullion
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups water
OPTIONAL: 10 oz can of Rotel (I used Original – No Salt Added)
OPTIONAL: 1 or 2: 11.5 oz can of tomato juice (I like mine to be a little more ‘saucy’)Instructions:
Place all ingredients into your instant pot. Stir and pat down noodles so they are all covered by liquid.
Lock lid on and set to 4 mins high pressure.
Quick release when finished.
Remove lid and stir. Serve immediately.
Make this your own by tweaking spices, bacon fat or margarine instead of butter, adding a tad of brown sugar (I’m told some folks like this sweetened?), or whatever else you like. My mother makes this in a dutch oven on her stove top and adds ground beef in hers.
