Chili Macaroni

Yum! This dish is the ultimate in comfort food. And, I accidentally found a great, healthier alternative to hamburger helper, which I have been searching for for awhile. You can't go wrong with this chili-style pasta dish. I hope you enjoy!

  • 12 oz. lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 14.5-oz can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
  • 1 1/4 cup tomato juice (I used a can and a half of tomato sauce)
  • 2 tbsp diced green chile peppers, drained
  • 2 tsps chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup loose-pack frozen cut green beans
  • shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  1. In a large skillet cook the turkey and onion until brown.
  2. Stir stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, chile peppers, chili powder and garlic salt into the meat mixture. Bring to boiling. Stir in pasta and green beans. Return to boiling; reduce heat.
  3. Cover and let simmer about 15 minutes or until pasta and beans are tender.
  4. Top with cheddar cheese.
