Southwest Skillet Dinner

1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper - chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
2 Tbsp. chili powder*
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1 can tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn or 1 1/2 cup frozen corn
8 oz whole wheat elbow macaroni or other pasta
hot sauce to taste

Saute onion, green pepper, garlic, chili powder,
salt, and cumin until vegetables are tender.
Stir in tomatoes, breaking with spoon.
Add kidney beans and corn; bring to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Toss with elbows.

* The amount of chili powder does not make this
dish hot, and should be added even by those who
don't like spicy foods.

Regular chili powder is quite mild. It is a mix of
oregano, cumin, garlic, spices and small amount of
pepper. For those who like it hotter, add cayenne
pepper or hot sauce.
