Delicious and filling. I subbed one whole red bell pepper for the 1/2 green one, added 1T of chili powder, and added 1 clove of pressed garlic. I sauted the onions, pepper, celery, & garlic in a bit of olive oil before adding the ground beef, then drained it all and mixed the remaining ingredients (except macaroni)into a crock pot. Set on low for 4 hours wasn't enough time to cook, so I dumped it all in my dutch oven and finished it by letting it simmer uncovered on the top of the stove for another 30 minutes or so while I made the macaroni, set the table, etc. My daughter gobbled it up: a perfect comfort meal after sitting through a day of Frances aftermath! I will try again in the crock pot...perhaps turning it on sooner in the day, or on high. Thanks for sharing!
