SHIPWRECK DINNER

SHIPWRECK DINNER
We love this easy to make dish. And I usually have everything on hand. It came from a Kraft food & family magazine.  See below for ways to hide veggies in this dish (also Bea tip).

1# ground beef or turkey
1 box Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
1 can (16 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 cup frozen green peas (brocolli & corn good too)
1 cup milk
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese

Brown meat. Stir in macaroni, cheese sauce mix, tomatoes, peas and milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Simmer 12 minutes or until macaroni is tender.

Sprinkle with cheese. Let stand 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Hidden Veggies:
Bea Stewart gave me a great tip - if you grate a zucchini you can hide it in spaghetti sauce or chili.  Just let is simmer all day and it pretty much dissolves.

I cut up some cabbage (about 1 cup) pretty small and grated a zucchini.  I put in the meat, some water and stewed tomatoes.  Let it simmer for 1+ hours (could do it all day). Then I added everything else.
