Macaroni and Beef

Taylor and I really enjoyed taste-testing this recipe. I used Unico Scoobi Doo macaroni for a little extra excitement. And it is soooooo simple to make.

Macaroni and Beef

6 servings

6 oz elbow macaroni, cooked
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp pepper
4 oz (1 cup) reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, grated

(I substituted 1/4 cup of homemade pesto for the basil)

In large skillet, brown ground beef, onion and bell pepper until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are softened. Add tomato sauce, basil, thyme and pepper, Stir frequently over medium heat until heated through. Remove from heat. Add macaroni; stir to combine. Sprinkle cheese over top.
