dissolved add the ground beef and rice. Reduce heat slightly. Stir
to keep from sticking. When most of the water has evaporated add the
mozzarella. Turn heat to low.(You can add more or less depending on
how cheesy you like things) When mozzarella has melted stir in peppers
and tomatoes. Salt/pepper to taste Serve - we like to top it with Lea

Chili Beans and Mac Casserole

1 tablespoon olive oil
1-11/2 pounds lean ground beef, chicken or turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 can (15.5 oz) canned kidney beans (undrained)
(Original recipe calls for 54 oz of beans)
1 cup pitted black olives
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Saute onions in oil until soft. Add beef and cook until is no longer
pink.
Drain off any excess fat and add the chili powder, the 1 1/2 cups cheese,
beans, tomatoes, olives and macaroni. Spoon mixture into a 9x13 or
similar
dish. It will be very moist; the macaroni will absorb the moisture. Top
with the 1/2 cup cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
