Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground chicken, browned ( I prefer lean turkey)
1/2 cup chopped onions, sauted with the meat
2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables ( OR 1 can cut greenbeans with juice and 1 can whole kernel corn with juice)
1 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes ( I prefer Hunt’s with spices already in it for more flavor)
1 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce ( I prefer Hunt’s with spices already in it for more flavor)
1/2-3/4 cup small elbow macaroni ( or dice 1 extra large potatoe or 2 medium potatoes instead of noodles)
3/4 cup water ( I use one of the empty veg. cans)
salt and pepper ( I prefer the grinder kind of sea salt and black pepper or mixed pepper)
Directions:
In a stew or dutch-oven pot, saute meat and chopped onions until brown.
Pour off any grease (I use lean turkey, so I don’t have extra grease).
Add to browned meat& onions all of the remaining ingredients (the order doesn’t matter).
Stir and bring to boil, then turn down to medium-low or simmer and put lid on pot.
Simmer 20 minutes or until noodles (or potatoes) are done.
Stir occasionally to keep from sticking to bottom of pot.
