- 1 lb. ham steak, cubed
- 8 c. water, as needed
- 1 ( 8 oz.) Portuguese sausage, diced
- 1 large onion, diced

- 1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans, with liquid
- pinch salt, freshly ground black pepper
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cover ham and sausage with water.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. (Bryan says you may want to boil the sausage separately to remove some of the oil).
Add onion, carrots, celery and tomato sauce; cook 10 minutes.
Add potatoes, cabbage and macaroni; cook until all vegetables are tender.
Stir in beans, salt and pepper.
Even better the next day.
