I made this one up...hope you like it! It is so comforting on a cool night and is so easy to fix. The longer it sits in the fridge the better it taste so leftovers are always eat here at our house.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. Hamburger
1 large Onion (chopped)
2 cans Beef Broth
2 cups Water
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1 can Black Beans
1 can Pinto Beans
1/2 cup Elbow Macaroni (uncooked)
1/2 cup White Rice (uncooked)
Directions:
Brown Hamburger in large pot, I season it with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of Onion and Garlic Powder. Drain.
Add Onion, Beef Broth, Water and Taco Sauce. Stir it good.
Add Onion Powder, Garlic Powder and Salt.
Add Black and Pinto Beans.
Bring to boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes. Stir every now and then.
Add Elbow Macaroni and Rice. Simmer 15-20 more minutes or until pasta and rice are tender.
Of course you always must taste test several times to make sure the seasoning is right...lol
Cooking Tips:
Boil-N-Bag Rice...just empty the contents into the pot. It makes things easier and it cooks up great.
I have used several different pastas...Angel Hair Spaghetti (broken in pieces) works well. Just use whatever you have on hand. Be careful not to add too much because the starch really soaks up the broth.
If it seems too dry just add some water.
I eat it just like this but you could add Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, Fritos Corn Chips or Cornbread.
A can of Whole Kernel Corn would be great but my son doesn't like corn so none for us.
