Adapted from a BHG recipe Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
3/4 cup onion, chopped |
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can great northern beans |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced diced tomatoes with jalapenos, undrained |
1 cup tomato sauce |
2 ounces uncooked whole wheat pasta |
red pepper flakes, to taste |
2 -3 teaspoons chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/2 cup low-fat cheese (mexican blend) |
Directions:
1. Cook beef and onion in a large skillet until the meat is brown and the onion is tender. Soak up the excess fat with a paper towel, and rinse the meat and onion mixture in a colander.
2. Rinse the beans and add to the skillet. Stir in the tomatoes, sauce, macaroni and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer the meal, covered, and stir often for 15-20 minutes - or until the macaroni is tender.
3. Remove the skillet from the stove and sprinkle the cheese over the mixture. Let the cheese melt for about two minutes and serve.
