Hearty Chili Roni

(This was a pretty good dinner. Kevin loved it. We found this one on a recipe card in the grocery store. I like to make something easy and quick on Friday, since we have movie night. We all eat in the living room, so I need something that the kids can easily manage. Another hit!)

2 lbs ground beef

1 medium chopped onion

1 medium chopped bell pepper

2 pkgs chili seasoning mix

2 cans (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

2 (8 oz) tomato sauce

3 cups water

1 (16 oz) box elbow macaroni

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Brown beef, onion and bell pepper. Drain. Stir in seasoning mix, tomatoes, tomatoe sauce and water. Bring to boil. Stir in pasta. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes or until pasta is tender. Remove from heat. Stir cheese into pasta until melted.
