--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/2  Lb.           beef cubes
    1/2  Lb.           Italian sausage
  1      Can           tomatoes -- (16 oz.)
  3      Tbsp.         Lipton onion soup mix
    1/2  C.            dry wine (optional)
  1 1/2  C.            cooked small pasta shells
  1      Pkg.          frozen Italian green beans -- (10 oz.)

Brown beef cubes in small amount of vegetable oil. At
same time, cook sausage for 5 minutes, to remove some fat. Cut
sausage into small pieces and add to beef. Add can of tomatoes
until bubbly. Pour in wine, cooking to boil off alcohol (about
5 minutes). Sprinkle soup mix; stir well and cook slowly until
meat is tender. (If using pressure cooker, cook on high for 15
minutes and let cool down.) Add green beans and let cook for 7
to 8 minutes. Add cooked shells; mix well. Cover and let
stand before serving; leftovers gain flavor.
