Ingredients

  • 1 package Hillshire Farm(R) Smoked Sausage
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper small, chopped
  • 2 garlic minced
  • 14 1/2 ounces chili style diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 15 ounces kidney beans or pinto, drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Method

  • Cut sausage into 1/4" slices; set aside. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and keep warm.
  • While macaroni is cooking, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add sausage, onion, pepper and garlic; cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally or until sausage is browned.
  • Stir in tomatoes, corn, chili powder and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 10 minutes.
