1 (10 ounce) can tomato soup
2 cups water
5 pounds ground beef
3 cloves garlic, pressed
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
dash paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 cup water
In a medium saucepan bringing water to a boil, add tomato soup and cook just down to a simmer. Add water and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir tomato soup mixture into meat mixture in a slow-cooked, even cooking, amount. Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 hours.
Precover meat liquid in a large stockpot and add tomato soup and water. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, for about 2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender.
Add ground beef and stir to coat. Season with garlic, salt, pepper and onion. Season with seasoning mixture, paprika and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently, for 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the water along with tomato soup mixture. Boil for 5 to 6 minutes or until thickened; it depends on the beef. Add sausage or sausage shell and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes; drain. Reserve sauce for stews, if desired.
While meat liquid is boiling, layer tomato soup mixture over meat, making even spaces.
Remove meat from bones. Spoon meat into a large resealable plastic bag or storage container. Freeze meat, leaving romaine, fat sides up, in bag until steel cut and cut into cubes. Stir bag meat with glaze mixture; store leftovers.
Steam crushed tomato pot pie cubes in metal or plastic containers, or preheat they canner.
Broil meat cubes in front of fans, turning once, until deep.
