Serves 4
- 1 small onion
- 1 small zucchini
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
- 454 gr macaroni (sneak in whole wheat if possible)
- 1 can tomato soup
- 1 can vegetable tomato soup
- 1 pkg sloppy joe seasoning
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp extra hot red chili powder
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup water, or as needed
Start by dicing the onion, zucchini and pepper. Feel free to incorporate any of your favorite veggies, or whatever you have kickin around in the fridge, into the mix.
Measure out the frozen peas and corn and set aside to thaw.
Place extra lean ground beef directly on a frying pan that has a lid (to be used later). Do NOT add oil to pan. Cook over med-high heat until beef is no longer pink. Drain all excess oil from pan.
Add both cans of soup and all the seasoning to the beef, stirring to mix well. Add all of the vegetables, along with half a cup of water, and stir again to mix. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 20min. Stir occasional to avoid sticking to the bottom. Add small amounts of water as needed if it looks dry.
Bring water to boil in a large pot. Cook macaroni per package instructions. Strain.
Serve sloppy joe mix on top of macaroni, under macaroni, or mixed into macaroni!
