- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3 cups canned crushed tomatoes
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon each dried basil, ground cumin, and dried oregano
- 2-3 cups grated cheddar.
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350*. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions; drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet; add the peppers, onion and garlic, and saute until soft.
