This recipe is great for making before hand and then adding some water and reheating at the campground. We especially like this during cool or wet weather as it warms you up quick. Also make sure you bring along some Italian bread and some butter/margarine to go along with this meal. Yum-Yum!

1/2 to 1 pound ground meat
1 small onion
3 stalks celery
1 package Birds Eye Italian style veggies (frozen)
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 8 ounce can tomato paste
2 cups elbow macaroni
salt and pepper

PREPARATION:

• Dice onion and celery. Sautee ground meat until blood color free. Use more or less meat depending on your individual taste. We like a lot of meat in our dish. Add onion and celery and cook until celery is soft.

• Add tomato paste, 1 can of water, and bouillon cubes and let simmer until reduced. Add 1 more can of water and vegetables. Cook until vegetables are thawed. Add 1 can of water and two cups of elbow macaroni. Cook until macaroni is soft. Add more water as needed. Salt and pepper to taste.
