Skillet Goulash

By McLean

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. elbow macaroni
• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1/2 medium-sized green pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (28-oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and cover to keep warm.

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, bell pepper and onion over high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until no pink remains in the beef, stirring frequently. Drain off excess liquid.

Add macaroni, spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and simmer 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted; serve.

Note: Any leftovers will freeze well.
