shipwreck dinner

This is a box of macaronni and cheese, one can of diced tomatoes and a can of peas. Make the macaronni like on the box, add one can drained tomatoes and one can drained peas. Total cost $2. My kids love it

The Shipwreck recipe I use usually has seven layers of goodies. I’d have to look up the exact recipe but I do know rice, ground beef and tomatoes are added in layers to make up a thrifty casserole.
