Ingredients
1
cup
uncooked macaroni
1
pound
ground beef
1
small onion
diced
2
cloves
garlic
minced
1
(15 oz)
can kidney beans
drained
1
(14.5 oz)
can diced tomatoes
undrained
1
(8 oz)
can tomato sauce
1
(6 oz)
can tomato paste
1 ½
tbsp
chili powder
½
tsp
ground cumin
salt & pepper
to taste
1
cup
shredded cheddar cheese
for topping
Instructions
Boil and cook macaroni until tender.
While macaroni is cooking, cook ground beef along with onion.
Stir and cook until beef is browned and onion is soft.
Add in garlic during last couple of minutes of cooking (so it doesn't burn).
Drain excess grease from beef and put back into pot
After macaroni is cooked, drain.
Stir macaroni and remaining ingredients (minus the cheese) into beef mixture.
Heat to boiling, stir occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15-20 minutes.
Make sure to give it a taste test at this point. I usually find I need to season with a bit of salt.
Then serve and sprinkle each serving with shredded cheese.
