Step 2While macaroni is cooking, saute onion and green pepper in oil. Add Recipe Crumbles™ (or cooked ground beef) and heat through.
-
Step 3Add diced tomatoes and seasonings and heat through. (If necesssary, turn heat to low and keep warm until macaroni is done.)
-
Step 4When macaroni is done, drain and return to pot. Mix in onion mixture and tomato juice. Return to stove and simmer for 10 minutes, check seasoning and serve. Garnish with cheese if you like. - Last Step: Don't forget to share! Post a picture of your finished recipe here and on your favorite social network.
