Carry-along casserole:

1 pd ground beef 1 8 oz can tomatoes sauce
2 tblsp dehydrated onions 1 pd of fresh tomatoes
1 med green pepper, chopped 3 cups cooked noodles
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt 4 slices of favorite cheese
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
2 tblsp fresh or dehydrated garlic
1 tblsp parsley
1 tblsp fresh/dried basil
1 tblsp of olive oil (buy a small bottle)

Heat olive oil, add onion, green peppers, garlic. Add beef & remaining seasonings. Brown beef thoroughly, add tomatoes & tomato sauce. Cook over low heat 5-8 minutes, then add noodles. Pour mixture into 9" x 9" baking pan, top with cheese.
Cover with foil. Keep in freezer until ready to leave. Once on the road, heat well over medium flame on portable stove, grill, or barbecue. Makes 4 servings.
