1 reg. size can Lima beans, or large flat Italian Green Beans (Select Brand or DelMonte).
2-3 T. Extra Light Olive Oil (Bertolli).

Add McCormick's Chile Mix, Tomato Paste, Crushed Tomato Sause, Beef Broth, Brown Sugar, stir well. Then add all beans, potatoes, butter & Macaroni, cover,then after coming to a boil,simmer on your lowest burner setting for 45 minutes.
