Meal MAYhem 1st

So, tonight we're having Macaroni With Beef (that takes you directly to the recipe)


Ingredients

Serves 6
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cans (each 8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked frozen or fresh corn (2 to 3 ears)

I cheat a little bit here and there. It's a Martha Stewart recipe and she assumes that everyone can afford fresh and expensive ingredients. I cannot.


Step One: Get that macaroni going. It takes a few mins to get the water to boil and then more time to cook the macaroni. If you start the water at the same time as the beef it all gets done together.

Step Two: Cook the ground beef and onion until both are done. (Ground beef browned and onion translucent) Season with seasonings

Step Three: Add tomato sauce and corn (drain if using canned) I went ahead and just used a 15oz can of each. Yes, it's more than the recipe calls but it worked out fine. Heat until bubbly.

Step Four: Combine everything together and serve!
