Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (19 oz/540 ml) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1/4 tsp granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 cups short pasta
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 sweet green pepper, diced
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preparation
In saucepan, fry bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside on paper towel.
Pour off fat from pan. Fry onion, garlic, chili powder and oregano over medium heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, kidney beans, corn and sugar; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, about 8 minutes; drain and return to pot. Add sauce; toss to coat. Serve with separate bowls of bacon, green onions, green pepper and cheese to sprinkle over top as desired.
