Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and jalapeño, and sauté until soft, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon, and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Spoon out most of the grease and discard it safely.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring often. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth and bring to a strong simmer.
- Stir in the macaroni. Turn the heat to low and cover. Cook until al dente, usually about 10 minutes. Remove the lid and stir. The sauce should not be runny, but still "saucy." Turn the heat off.
- Stir in half of the cheese (1½ cups) until melted. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place the lid back on the pan and let rest for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted.
- Serve at once with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Notes
- NOTE: Watch the video near the top of the recipe for visual guidance.
- NOTE:
- Ground turkey is a great substitute for ground beef. Ground chicken can be used, too.
- Diced tomatoes can be substituted for fire-roasted. If you don't like chunky tomatoes, you can purée them, or substitute the diced tomatoes with tomato sauce (you would need 1 14-ounce can and 1 8-oz can).
- Leftovers will keep in an air-tight container with a lid for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat with a couple of splashes of broth or water.
