1. In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is cooked; drain. 2. Stir in beef boullion, dried pasta, bell pepper, kidney beans, water and seasonings.Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. 3. Add any additional veggies at this time; cover and cook 2-4 minutes longer or until veggies are tender, and pasta is cooked. (if not adding veggies, increase cooking time from 15 minutes to 17-20 minutes, but keep checking the pasta to make sure of desired doneness. I cooked my penne for 16 minutes, and it turned out al dente, which was nice). 4. Sprinkle with cheese. Put lid back on for a minute to melt the cheese. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
