Thayne's Favorite MORE!

After previously screwing this recipe up twice (mainly because I wasn't following Thayne's instructions or a written recipe), I managed to correctly make it last night in honor of Thayne's "birthweek". Third time really is the charm, YAY! So this recipe is according to Thayne's closely followed instructions last night:

Boil one package of macaroni noodles. Meanwhile, next in the cast of characters in another pot are:

1 onion
1 green pepper
4-5 celery stalks

Slice 'em, dice 'em, and saute 'em in a little oil and/or Worcestershire sauce (makes the onion less tortuous for the eyes).

Add in ground beef and brown it. We are always out of tomato sauce, so instead, add in 2 cans tomato soup and 1 can of diced tomatoes (Mexican if you've got 'em). Mix in a can of corn as well. Season with 2 TBSP chili powder (yes, 2 TBSP) and some dashes of cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir in cooked macaroni and top with shredded cheese. This makes a large batch so expect some leftovers if you have a small family.
