As I will be home over the weekend I made a grocery run to pick up enough supplies to last a couple of days. I should say that I never cook from any recipes, I just kind of make things up as I go along. While shopping I had an idea for a chili mac sort of thing and picked up the ingredients for same.
It's on the stove now and is smelling pretty good. Basically I just browned some lean ground beef with onions, diced red and green bell peppers, diced onion, and a dash of chili powder and red pepper. At the same time I cooked some elbow macaroni.
After draining the macaroni I dumped the beef into the pot along with a large can of tomato sauce, a finely diced tomato,more chili powder, red pepper, cumin, a dash of garlic salt, and some oregano. I added enough water to make the mixture properly liquid for simmering.
I should have picked up some beans for this but didn't think about it at the time. That would make it even better.
I'm hungry.
