Pantry Panic

There are times, especially toward the end of the month you find yourself in a panic staring into the pantry for answers. What can I make out of this? Well here is a wonderful hearty casserole that will please and not hurt the budget too badly.


Keep this surprise up your sleeve for those pantry panics. The foil sealed dish will cook the macaroni, the sauce packet will add a depth that hides your desperation – never let them see you sweat!


Ingredients:
1lbs ground beef
1 can red beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 box mac & cheese
1 cup beef stock
¼ shredded cheese (use what's left over)
salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to your tastes
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Open the red beans and drain well


Brown the ground beef and drain on paper towel lined bowl.


In a large bowl mix the stewed tomatoes with the packet of cheese sauce from the box of Mac & Cheese. Add the seasonings of your choice.


Stir in the red beans.


Stir the ground beef and the tomato mixture into the casserole. Mix in the uncooked macaroni. Pour in the cup of beef stock. Seal with foil.
Bake for 50 minutes.


Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle with the ¼ cup shredded cheese.
Return to oven for 20 – 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.


Serve with a side of green vegetables.



What a fantastic come to the rescue meal from a scavenged pantry.


So happy to be serving my Master Indy
