2 1/2cupsof dry macaroni
2cupsshredded medium or old cheddar cheese
Instructions
Fry the ground beef in a large stock pot until cooked completely then drain the fat.
Add in the garlic and cook until browned. Fry up the pepper at this point if using.
Add in all of the remaining ingredients, except the macaroni. Stir and bring to a low boil.
Add in the macaroni noodles and stir until mixed through.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, until the macaroni is soft, stirring once in a while to ensure that the macaroni doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
Remove from heat and serve with cheese sprinkled on top.
Notes
The sugar in this is the key to reducing that acidic taste you get when you cook with tomatoes. Sprinkle it in and taste test until it's perfect for you!
