Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 4 cups water
- 1 can (14 1/2 oz.) Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 tsp. instant beef bouillon granules
- 1 cup uncooked large elbow macaroni
- 5 oz. smoked beef sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions
Brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon.
Meanwhile, combine water, tomatoes, mixed vegetables and bouillon granules in large saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in macaroni and ground beef; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in sausage; continue simmering 2-4 minutes or until macaroni is tender. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
