List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 to 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey, or any combination of chopped meat
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 (27 oz. each) canned kidney beans, undrained
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup pitted black olives
3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese



Recipe



Sauté onion in oil until soft. Add beef and cook until it is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat and add the chili powder, the 1 1/2 cups cheese, beans, tomatoes, olives and macaroni. Spoon mixture into a 9 by 13 or similar dish. It will be very moist; the macaroni will absorb the moisture. Top with the 1/2 cup cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour
