I found this yummy sounding recipe online. It's from the cookbook Diabetes Meal Planning on $7 a Day Or Less! Time does not include time to cook the macaroni or any small shaped pasta. Ingredients:
1 lb ground chuck |
1 large onion, chopped |
1/2 green pepper, diced |
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, drained, rinsed |
1 (10 ounce) can rotel tomatoes |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon chili powder (or more) |
1 cup cooked macaroni |
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and drain ground chuck.
2. Add onion, green pepper, corn, tomatoes and green chilies, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and chili powder; mix well.
3. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 15 minutes; stir periodically.
4. Add macaroni and cornstarch dissolved in water; stir well.
5. Continue cooking and stirring over medium heat until mixture thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Serving size: 1 cup.
