Necessity is the mother of invention. Right? When it gets to the day before payday many people have to become really creative. I created this recipe tonight and it worked really well.
Serves 6-8 people
Basic Ingredients:
4 - 5 medium-sized cans of whatever vegetables you have in your cabinet
1 large-sized can of tomatoes (tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, or whole peeled tomatoes that are cut up will work)
1 lb any kind of pasta
2 - 3 lbs of whatever meat you have in your freezer
Whatever spices in your cabinet that you usually use in a spaghetti or stew-type dish
What I Used:
1 medium-sized can Diced Potatoes
1 medium-sized can Green Beans
1 large-sized can Mixed Vegetables
1 large-sized can Whole Peeled Tomatoes (which I diced)
1 lb Ground Beef
2 Cube Steaks (because they were there and weren't going to be used for anything else)
14 ounces Mini Shell Pasta
3 Bay Leaves
1 tbsp Oregano
McCormick's Steakhouse Onion Burger seasoning
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
1. Cook the meat with whatever spices you choose, drain the grease, and set aside.
2. Cook the pasta to where it is hard but not crunchy. If you are using a long pasta then break it in to 2-inch pieces. Drain then add back to the pot.
3. Put everything canned, including the juice, in to the pot with the pasta. Add desired seasoning. Heat on medium-high until boiling.
4. Add meat then return to a boil.
Note:
Any kind of shredded cheese is good as a topping.
Garlic bread or just plain bread and butter is good to serve with the stew.
