Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni (I used whole wheat)
1 pound 95% lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2/3 cup frozen corn (I used 1 cup)
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (I used 1 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

Cook macaroni according to package directions.
While the water is boiling and pasta is cooking, prepare the ground beef and vegetables.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the beef and onion, stirring and breaking up the meat into small crumbles, until meat is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, chilies, cumin, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a gentle simmer and continue to cook, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Drain macaroni and add to the meat/vegetable mixture.
Stir in the cilantro and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, cumin, etc. to taste.
