Cowgirl Supper

Been a while since I’ve posted a recipe…
I’m calling this one “Cowgirl Supper” because my little girl loved it (can’t remember the last time I saw her eat with such relish!)… and my husband and I liked it too. Such a rare treat to find something we all enjoy.

What you’ll need:
1 lb. lean (90/10) ground bison (although beef would work fine)
1 can reduced sodium black beans (15 oz) - Undrained
1 can petite diced tomatoes (15 oz) – Undrained
1 cup frozen yellow corn (extra sweet Niblets work great!)
1 jar Traditional spaghetti sauce (15 oz)
1 ½ cups elbow pasta (I used DHA fortified Barilla Plus)
½ cup water
Shredded Colby/Jack cheese

Brown the beef at medium high heat in a large walled-skillet. Then add all remaining ingredients except cheese and simmer until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle top with cheese. Enjoy!
(For some extra zing you can add a couple of tablespoons of chili powder, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you are trying to feed a picky toddler)
