Oops. My mistake. 14 oz cans of sauce I've seen. Diced tomatoes are the ones I can't find in small cans.

We made it in a big pot on the stove, and it's turned out very thick. Let me see if I can figure that one out... we bought whole tomatoes by accident, and Rich cut them with scissors while still in the can (so much easier than trying to slice anything), a 20-oz can or so. Ditto the Hunts tomato sauce - we could only find the bigger can, but it wasn't the full 28 oz. Probably ~ 19. Half a Spanish onion, a whole orange pepper, spices were all as listed.

Brought to a boil, then simmered for about two hours. The only other change I made was to drain the kidney beans (not listed in the directions, but it seemed like too much liquid), and added a small tub of mushrooms. My guess, looking at that all listed out, is that draining the kidney beans (2 14-oz cans) made the difference.
