Texas Dump Stew

Ingredients:

2  pounds ground beef or ground turkey
1 large onion, cut into quarters
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) tomato soup, condensed and undiluted
1 can (16 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) whole kernel corn, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) cut green beans, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) sliced carrots, undrained
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni

Directions:

In skillet, cook ground beef until nearly browned. Add onion. Saute until
just tender and ground beef is cooked through.
Dump all ingredients, except macaroni, into large stockpot; salt and pepper
to taste. Cook over medium-high heat 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
Simmer on low heat another 20-30 minutes this allows flavors to really come
together). Stir in macaroni.

Serves 8-10.

Recipe Notes:
This is really good with cornbread.
This can be made in the crockpot. Cook meat as above, then dump everything
but macaroni in crockpot. Set on LOW; cook 4-5 hours. Turn off heat; mix in
macaroni and let stand for 20 minutes, covered.

Freezing Notes:

This freezes very nicely, but I don’t like to freeze with the macaroni. I
cook that up the day I serve and then stir it in.
