How to Make Meal In A Mug

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 cup water, 1 (15-ounce) can pork and beans (undrained), 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1 (1-ounce) packet sloppy joe mix to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Stir in 1 cup elbow macaroni.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
