Ingredients
1-1.5 pounds of ground beef (we prefer 80/20. We used 1.33 pounds and it wasn’t enough for my tastes.)
1 can of stewed tomatoes (the chunk kind, not the whole kind)
2-4 cloves of garlic, crushed or the equivalent in garlic powder (we used the powder and it was just fine)
1-2 tablespoons of chili powder (you could also probably use a half packet of chili seasoning)
1/2 of a medium onion (we used almost a whole red onion which made it too sweet and the onion flavor too strong. I might be willing to try red onion again if it was a smaller amount)
8-10 ounces of elbow or shell macaroni (we used a full pound of the large elbows and it was too much)
15 ounce can of tomato sauce (we got the other ingredients out of kilter so we added a small can of more tomato paste)
1-2 teaspoons of dried parsley
Can of sweet corn
Chopped green pepper (we used one small one, it was not enough. A large pepper would have been better)
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese to taste (optional…great for if it doesn’t come out quite right or you have someone who may not like the amount of chili powder you used)
