    At this point heat oven to 300 degrees. Add a little water to stir up browned bits in pot & then add the rest of the water, soup, hot sauce, & browning sauce. Stir well. Add meat & pasta & make sure as much of the pasta is down into the liquid as possible. Bring to a boil, then cover & put into the oven for 1 hour.
