Skillet Mexican Pasta

Ingredients:
*1 lb. lean ground beef
* 2 1/2 tsp. chili powder or more to taste
*2 tsp. dried oregano
*1 1/2 tsp. cumin or more to taste
*2 tsp. onion powder
*2 tsp. garlic powder
*2 tsp. paprika
*2 cups beef broth
*2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
*1 can diced tomatoes; undrained
*1 can black beans drained and rinsed
Directions:
Drain and rinse the black beans; set aside.
Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Brown ground beef and drain off any fat. Turn the heat down to medium and add chili powder, oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Stir into the beef and continue to cook for about 1 minute.
Slowly stir in the beef broth then add the macaroni to the skillet. Give a quick stir then add in the tomatoes and the black beans. Stir to combine.
Turn the heat back up to medium high heat. When the liquid starts to bubble, cover and turn down the heat. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Serve and Enjoy!
I like how pasta doesn’t appear to be the main ingredient in this recipe. It’s all about the beans and animal protein. 😋
