This is a variation on a recipe I found in Quick Cooking magazine, March/April 1998 issue. I've subsituted spaghetti sauce for the original italian seasoned diced tomatoes and sometimes use italian sausage instead of ground beef. Both versions are tasty.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb italian sausage
24 ounces spaghetti sauce
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
15 ounces beef broth
16 ounces canned kidney beans
15 ounces canned garbanzo beans
14 1/2 ounces canned mixed vegetables
Directions:
1. Brown the ground beef or sausage; drain well. Place in a large dutch oven.
2. Add spaghetti sauce, water, broth and macaroni. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 12-15 minutes or until macaroni is tender.
3. Stir in vegetables and beans, heat through.
