~Macaroni Chili Casserole~

Macaroni Chili Casserole

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 lb. hot Italian sausage
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 can black beans, drained
• 1 little can of hot tomato sauce
• 2 can sweet corn, drained
• 1 cans dice tomato, undrained
• 2 can tomato soup
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 can chopped green chili
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 box of macaroni, cooked and drained

Cook and drain the macaroni according to box instructions. Then in a skillet, brown beef and sausage with the chopped onions. We added sea salt and pepper to the meat and onion mixture while it cooked along with the chili powder. I let it simmer while we waited for the pasta to finishing cooking. Then we put all the ingredients in a big soup pot over the stove and heat it through until hot.

Just before serving add cilantro and shredded cheese.

This was a HUGE hit!!! Our little picky eater, Jolene, not only helped "sample" but had two bowls at dinner time! This is one we will be making lots. It is the perfect winter meal on those cold days.
