Recipe Alert! Beef Macaroni and Cheese!

Courtesy Paula Deen

It is time for back-to-school and all this month on Tuesday, I will share some great recipes I find from around the globe. 

Ingredients 

1 teaspoon each dried basil, cumin, and dried oregano
Salt and pepper

3 cup canned crushed tomatoes
2 lb lean ground beef
1 tablespoon
chopped garlic
2 cup chopped onion
2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2
tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb box elbow macaroni
2-3 cup grated cheddar
cheese

Directions

Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside. Heat
the oil in a skillet; add the peppers, onion, and garlic, and saute until soft.
Add the ground beef and saute until browned. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper
to taste, and the basil, cumin, and oregano. In a large bowl, combine the
macaroni and the beef mixture. Spread this mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking
dish. Top with the cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until
the cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.

Cook’s Note: Ground turkey or chicken can be used in place of beef, if
desired.

    Wow, that looks absolutely delicious, and it doesn't seem that difficult to make either. I can probably make this without turning my kitchen upside down!
