3/4 lb. lean hamburger
1 onion
1 green pepper, chopped
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
2 c. water
8 oz. elbow macaroni
16 oz. can kidney beans
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Brown the beef, onion, green pepper in a large non-stick skillet. Add no oil to the pan. After the beef and vegetables are brown. Add 1 cup water and let it come to boil. Drain. This will remove the remaining fat from meat. Add the remaining cup of water to the pan and the other ingredients except cheese. Simmer about 15 minutes, stirring until most of the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the meat and continue heating until cheese is melted.
