Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef
  • 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 8-oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 15-oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 3 c. chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Using a large pot, brown the ground beef.  Drain the fat and pour beef into a paper towel lined bowl to soak up any additional grease.  Set aside.
  • In the same pot, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, pasta, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar.  Simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring often to make sure pasta doesn't stick, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Top with shredded cheese and cover for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt.  The sauce will thicken as it stands. Serve warm.
  • Store leftovers in a covered container for up to a week.
