Ingredients

– Ground Beef – Onion – Garlic – Tomato Sauce – Petite Diced Tomatoes – Water – Beef Base – Chili Powder – Cumin – Garlic Powder – Oregano – Bay Leaves – Macaroni Pasta – Colby Jack Cheese

Step 1:  In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, brown ground beef. Drain Grease

Step 2:  Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes until onions are soft and fragrant.   Adding the dry spices at this point will help release their flavors.

Step 5: Add pasta and cook for 7-9 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.  Step 6: Stir in cheese and remove from heat.

Recipe Variations:

– Add veggies - Red bell pepper, zucchini and even corn are great addition to the recipe. – Add beans - You'll end up with more of a "Chili Mac" when you add kidney beans.
