Dried Beef and Macaroni

This recipe would have good on the boat when we were cruising. Dinner from the pantry.

• 4 oz pkg dried beef
• 6 oz elbow macaroni
• Boiling water
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Paprika

1. Tear beef into moderate-size pieces and cover with boiling water. Let stand a minute or two and then drain well.
2. Cook macaroni in large pot of boiling water, for 8 or 9 minutes. Drain well.
3. While macaroni is cooking heat the soup and stir in the dried beef. Taste for seasoning. Dried beef is usually salty enough.
4. Mix the soup and macaroni and pour into a medium casserole.
5. Top with the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with paprika.
6. Bake about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
