Description: "Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking" recipe by Vickie Rebholz- West Chester Ohio
NOTES: *I added an extra teaspoon of cumin....I love the flavor! **I simmered for about 20 minutes before adding the macaroni. It seemed to enhance the flavors of the cumin & chiles & cooked the onions through. Original recipe called for regular elbow macaroni & lean ground beef. I think a can of drained & rinsed pinto beans would be a nice edition ...Carol
A very filling dish!!
