Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 cup elbow macaroni
1 large onion, diced
1 bell pepper, chopped
12 oz white mushrooms, quartered
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes in tomato puree
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt and pepper

Directions:

Heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet or dutch oven that will be deep enough to hold everything. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink (about 8 minutes). Remove the ground beef to a plate. Pour off any extra grease, leaving behind just enough to film the bottom of the pan.
While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt the water, and cook the pasta until it's barely al dente and still a little chewy. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Cook the onions until they are soft, translucent, and beginning to brown (about 5 minutes). Add the mushrooms, and cook until they have released all their liquid and turned golden brown (about 5 minutes). Add the peppers, spices, and salt, and continue to saute until veggies are mostly cooked (about 3 minutes).
Pour tomatoes with their juices into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the hamburger back into the pan, and simmer until the liquid has reduced and thickened.
Stir in the cheese and the pasta, and stir until the cheese is melted and gooey. Spoon into individual bowls, top with an extra sprinkle of cheese, and serve!
