This was ok. Needed an additional spice or flavor, not sure what. Would make again in a pinch as fast and filling. Thanks!

Very simple and tasty! I used ziti pasta. I did add a few more seasonings, but we really enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing! Made for Gimme 5 tag.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was well recieved by everyone. I left out the green pepper. My 7 year old asked for it again. I doubled the macaroni with no problem just added a little more water. Served with parmesan cheese at the table. Thanks for posting this yummy easy recipe.

I liked this because it is fast and easy to make and the kids really liked it. Is the beef was browning I cooked the pasta for 5 minutes. Then I added it to the rest of the mixture and along with 1 to 1 1/2 cups of water. As it simmered I would add more water if needed. The onions and gr pepper was still had a nice little crunch to them when we ate it. I'll make this again, thank you for posting it. I made this for *Zaar World Tour 4 game* 2008 for the *Italian Region* YUM Oh yes my team is the *Tastebud Tickling Travelers*
