  • 2 cups cooked black beans or one 15 ounce can, drained and rinsed
  • ½ pound whole-grain elbow macaroni, cooked according to package directions, drained, and kept warm

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Place the onion and red pepper in a large saucepan and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the corn, jalapeño pepper, cumin, and chile powder and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and season with salt. Stir in the No-Cheese Sauce, beans, and cooked macaroni.
  • Spoon the mixture into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
