Hello March! And the springtime weather that it brings!
Mind you, March is famous around here for its freak snowstorms and unpredictable temps, but for the most part, it’s just a glorious mess of daytime thawing and nighttime freezing 🙂
But before we bid farewell (and good riddance!) to winter, here is a tasty, hearty, and slightly different chili to keep you warm.
Chili Macaroni
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1, 14oz. can tomato sauce
1, 19oz. can red kidney beans
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 cups whole corn, fresh or frozen
3 cups cooked macaroni
METHOD:
In a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain, return to heat and add onion, celery, green pepper, tomato sauce, beans and seasonings. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in corn and macaroni, heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serves 8 to 10.
