1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1 (15 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups V-8 juice
1 tsp. bacon drippings
1 Tbs. butter
2 tsp. sugar
black pepper to taste

Place the macaroni in 2 cups salted boiling water and cook until the pasta is just starting to soften. Add the tomatoes, V-8 juice, bacon drippings, butter, sugar and black pepper to taste. Cook just until the pasta is done and has absorbed some of the juices. Don't leave the bacon drippings out, that is one of the keys to the flavor!
