- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

- 1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
 |
Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

2. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
 |
Helpful Hints:
|
Adding dry macaroni to this mixture makes it very easy, and prevents us from dirtying extra pans. This recipe also works well in an electric skillet if you choose. Just be sure to stir the mixture occasionally as the macaroni cooks, so it doesn't have a chance to stick as it absorbs the liquid.
 |
Safety Tip:
|
When removing a lid from a hot pan, open lid AWAY from you. That way, the steam will escape out the back, and it will be less likely to burn you.
