#617: Tac-aroni

This does not have a good title for the recipe.  When I hear "tac-aroni" I expect it to have some sort of Mexican twist to it and it doesn't. 

Well my family definitely enjoyed this meal, but it isn't something extraordinarily different than things I've made before for them.  It's basically meat, tomato sauce and cheese.  With that said, this was definitely good (at least to us).  Nothing special, but cheap and easy to make.  Would we eat this again, definitely.  Would we eat this every week, no. 

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
1 T. chili powder
1 T. cumin
2 t. garlic powder
1 t. salt
1/2 lb. elbow macaroni
1 1/2 c. beef stock or broth
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 14.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes
2 c. frozen corn
1 c. shredded cheese

Brown ground beef and onion. Drain. Stir in seasonings.

Add noodles, stock, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes to the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low. Cover skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, about 15 – 20 minutes.  Stir in corn until heated through. Top with cheese and serve.
