I came up with this one on my own a few years ago. I season pretty strongly so you may want to adjust according to your taste.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup orange juice
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
16 ounces black beans, drained
16 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup cilantro, snipped
12 ounces penne pasta
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Crumble ground beef in skillet and drain. Add onion and garlic and cook until aromatic.
2. Add orange juice, tomato sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and sugar. Simmer for ten minutes.
3. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
4. Add black beans and tomatoes to beef mixture until heated through.
5. Dish pasta onto plate and top with beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.
