Number Of Ingredients 14

4 ounces dried multigrain or regular rotini or elbow macaroni (1 1/3 cups)
12 ounces extra-lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
3/4 cup Muir Glen™ organic salsa
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Colby and Monterey Jack cheese (2 ounces)
1/3 cup light sour cream
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return pasta to hot saucepan; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook meat and garlic until meat is browned, stirring to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat.
  • Stir the cooked meat into pasta in saucepan. Stir in beans, undrained tomatoes, salsa, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Transfer mixture to a 1 1/2- to 2-quart casserole or baking dish.
  • Bake, covered, about 30 minutes or until heated through. Uncover and sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 3 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
  • In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, 2 tablespoons of the green onions, the cilantro, and lime peel. To serve, top each serving with a spoonful of the sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions.
