I found this one-skillet recipe a couple of years ago on a website, but I tweaked it to meet my limited budget and still fill up my family.
1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey
1/2 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped (optional)
1 carrot, chopped (optional - I like to "hide" veggies ^.^)
1 c. any BBQ sauce
2 c. beef broth
2 c. pasta (wagon wheels are cute, but I usually use plain-Jane macaroni)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Brown ground beef and veggies together on medium heat (at least 10 mins). Drain. Add BBQ sauce, beef broth, and pasta. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 mins or until pasta is tender. Remove lid and allow it to set for 5 mins. or until sauce thickens. Serve and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Serves 4. Total price: around $4
