Measure 2 1/2 cups/625 mL water into the saucepan.
Add the 2 bouillon cubes.
Bring to a boil.
Open and drain the can of tuna.
When the water boils, add the 2 cups/500 mL macaroni.
Bring back to a boil, stirring.
Lower the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, wash and chop some carrots and beans. (Peel the carrots if you like.) You'll need 2 cups/500 mL of chopped veggies in total.
Add to the pot 1 cup/250 mL milk, the chopped vegetables and about 1/4 tsp/1 mL pepper.
Continue cooking until the pasta is tender and the vegetables are as soft as you like.
Remove from heat.
Add the 2 cups/500 mL grated cheese and the 1 can tuna.
Stir until the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.
Tips
Like all good camping meal ideas, this can be modified to suit your family's preferences.
Use whatever vegetables you like - as long as you cut them into smallish pieces. How about trying broccoli, peas or asparagus?
You can leave out the bouillon cubes if you want. The meal will be less flavorful, but still tasty.
Use frozen or canned veggies instead of fresh.
If you'd rather make the pasta the usual way (using lots of water, boiling the pasta until tender and then pouring off the water), you can do that too! Look for a collapsible colander that takes almost no room to pack.
