Guy food, tossed together one Saturday night in a large cast iron skillet. Exactly my kind of comfort food. Ingredient amounts are approximate, as they usually are when a guy cooks (this guy, anyway), so don't fret over amounts and feel free to taste and add whatever. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 (10 ounce) can rotel tomatoes (heat level of your choice) |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (or chili, texas, ranch beans) |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
5 ounces elbow macaroni (uncooked, about a cup) |
1 1/2 cups cheese, shredded (cheddar, mexican or similar) |
water, as needed for consistency |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onions.
3. Drain the meat mixture.
4. Add tomato products and beans, undrained.
5. Add water if needed and chili powder and simmer for 15 minutes.
6. Add the cooked macaroni and reheat to a simmer.
7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
8. Stir in 1 cup of cheese and melt.
9. Add remainder of cheese to top and remove from heat.
