MEXICAN SKILLET DINNER




1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can (1 lb) tomatoes, crushed
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) whole kernel corn (I use cans)
1 tsp. crushed fresh garlic (I dump in tons)
8 oz. whole wheat macaroni (I use whatever noodles I have, whole wheat or not)
1 1/3 cups unsalted beef broth
1 TBSP chili powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt

I also like to add an onion and a can of beans (kidney or black or pinto).

Brown the meat in a skillet and then add all of the remaining ingredients.  Stir.  Bring mixture to a boil.  Reduce to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 - 12 minutes or until the noodles are tender and the liquid has been absorbed.  Serve hot.  I also like to add a dollop of sour cream on top (fat free, of course!).

Makes 6 servings.
