ok, so I got this recipe on the back of a Cambell's soup can... oh well. It's a great meal that shouldn't cost more than $10 to make. But added some great adjustments: 1 can condensed Cheddar Cheese soup 1 can beef or chicken broth + 1 can water 1 lb ground meat, any kind, or tofu 2 cups elbow macaroni 1 can or so sliced mushrooms 1 diced red pepper 2-3 cloves crushed garlic 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped 1 tsp olive or vegetable oil 3-4 slices raw bacon, chopped into bits (optional) Fry up bacon in pan until about 60% cooked. add in garlic, oil, diced pepper, mushrooms and fry for about 3 or 4 minutes. Add in ground meat or tofu and cook thoroughly. Add in broth + water, bring to a boil, add macaroni and cook for 10 minutes or until pasta is soft. Remove from heat and add basil + cheddar cheese soup, mix thoroughly. Serves 4-5 people.
