Camping For Foodies Dinner Camping Recipes: This warm dinner is perfect for campfire cooking when the weather is chilly.

1 pound bulk hot Italian sausage (for a milder flavor substitute 1 lb ground beef or sweet Italian sausage)
1 small onion chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1 (32 oz) carton beef broth
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes undrained
1 (15 oz) can Great Northern beans undrained
1 (16 oz) package elbow macaroni dry pasta
Water as needed, approximately 1 cup
1/4 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

In a 12-inch Dutch oven over medium heat, fry the sausage breaking it up as it lightly browns.
Now add the onion, celery and garlic and cook until the veggies are softened, stirring frequently to make sure nothing sticks.
Stir the broth, tomatoes and beans into the pot, cover and bring the mixture up to simmer. (see Note #1)
Once simmering, uncover the pot and add the macaroni, raise the heat to bring the mixture to a low boil and cook uncovered till the macaroni is softened, about 10 minutes. You may need to add about 1/2 - 1 cup water (a little at a time) if the liquid is getting absorbed before the macaroni is softened.
Continue cooking until the goulash is slightly thickened.
Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

When the lid is on a cast iron Dutch oven pot, you'll know it is simmering when you see steam coming from between the lid and the pot.
