Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• ½ teaspoon white sugar
• ⅓ cup chopped onion
• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• ½ cup ketchup
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
• ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
• 1 ½ cups frozen corn

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot oil until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add corn, tomato sauce, ketchup, water, chili powder, sugar, and seasoned salt to the beef mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir macaroni into beef mixture; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese; remove from heat and let stand until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
