• 1/3 cup beef bouillon granules
• 1/4 cup dried minced onion
• 1/2 cup dried split peas
• 1/2 cup uncooked twist macaroni

• 1/4 cup barley
• 1/2 cup dry lentils
• 1/3 cup long-grain white rice
• 1 cup uncooked tri-color spiral pasta

1. Use a canning funnel or any funnel that has about a 2-inch neck. This will make it easier to fill the jar with the ingredients. Be sure to use a wide-mouth, 1-quart canning jar.
2. Layer ingredients in the order given: bouillon, onion flakes, split peas, small shape pasta, barley, lentils, rice, and enough tricolor spiral pasta to fill jar.
3. Attach tag with cooking instructions: In large kettle, brown 1 pound ground beef or stew beef cut into bite-size pieces in a little olive oil. Remove tricolor pasta from top of jar and reserve. Add the rest of the jar contents to the kettle with 12 cups water. Let come to a boil and simmer 45 minutes. Add tricolor pasta and simmer 15 minutes more. Serve with your favorite bread or rolls and a tossed salad.
