- 2. While pasta is cooking, break ground beef into pieces in a large skillet. Add onions, garlic, peppers, salt and pepper. Brown over med-low heat.
- 3. Drain off any excess grease and add the meat to the cooked pasta. Place the pot back onto a low burner. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans (do not drain), and all other spices. Gently stir thoroughly until combined.
- 4. Cover and simmer until thoroughly hot (@ 10 minutes). Adjust salt, pepper and other spices to suit your taste. If the mixture is too thick, add some of the starchy water from the macaroni to keep this from being too dry.
- 5. Serve in bowls topped with green onion and cheese. Great with crackers, tortilla chips, cornbread or cheesy garlic bread.
