Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (do NOT drain)
  • 4 cup beef stock
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can elbow macaroni
  • Optional garnish: shredded cheese and/or sour cream

Instructions

  • In a stock pot, brown ground beef with onion, pepper and seasonings. Drain. Stir in tomatoes, beef stock and black beans. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, just to let the flavors develop. (You can simmer this all day at this point, if you want.)
  • About 30 minutes per serving, remove cover from pot. Bring soup to a boil and stir in macaroni. Return soup to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
