1 lb. lean ground beef

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 onion, chopped fine

1 T. chili powder

2 t. ground cumin

1/8 - 1/4 t. cayenne pepper (to taste, I used 1/8 t.)

1 T. brown sugar

8 oz. whole grain macaroni

8 oz. whole grain macaroni

2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment:

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Heat the oil in a large (12 inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and 1/2 t. salt. Cook, breaking up meat into small pieces, until it looses all the pink color, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds or so. 2. Add brown sugar, tomato sauce, water and macaroni. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting the heat so that it maintains a lively simmer (somewhere between medium/medium-high heat), until the macaroni is tender, about 10 minutes or so. Season with salt & pepper if needed. 3. Off heat, stir in half the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Food Joke

Some daze I just can't seem to focus. Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get A plastic surgeon's office the only place where no one gets offended when you pick your nose! I used to go to an origami class, until it folded. Today everyone wants instant gratification, no matter how long it takes. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? You can lead a horse to water, but, a pencil must be lead. For Rent: 6 room hated apartment. You have two choices in life: you can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead. Have you heard that Revlon and Maibelene have agreed to make-up. Every morning is the dawn of a new error.
