Ingredients
- Olive or canola oil spray
- 500 g lean beef mince
- 2 teaspoons Mexican Chilli powder
- 250 ml MAGGI All Natural Beef Liquid Stock
- 575 g jar tomato-based pasta sauce
- 440 g can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 300 g can corn kernels, drained
- 1 green capsicum, diced
- 500 g spaghetti
Method
- Spray a large saucepan with oil and heat.
- Add beef and chilli powder and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until browned, breaking up any lumps.
- Stir in stock and pasta sauce, and bring to the boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add beans and vegetables and cook a further 5 minutes.
- While sauce is simmering, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water.
- Drain and serve with the sauce.
- Garnish with shredded parsley and spring onions, if desired.
- Note: Mexican chilli powder, a blend of herbs and ground chilli is not as hot as regular chilli powder, so if substituting with chilli powder, use half the amount.
HINT: This sauce keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days - in fact, the flavour improves if made ahead. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Freeze individual portions (remember to label and date them), and when required, transfer to the fridge in the morning for eating that night.
