Sometimes I'll add canned or frozen corn to this hearty casserole to give it more color.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups cooked noodles

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in noodles; heat through.
