In a Dutch oven, saute onion and green pepper in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the water, macaroni, beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin and salt.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until macaroni is tender. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream.

Made this using lentils and peas instead of beans and it was very tasty, but I'm wondering what type of chilli powder you use because I only added one of the four teaspoons called for, and it was still too spicy for my wife and kid.

Absolutely loved this! Lots of flavor! Will make this again!

This recipe is quick, inexpensive, tasty, and can be made from pantry staples. It's in my personal recipe hall of fame! It is great over a baked potato or tortilla chips with the sour cream accompaniment. To lower the carb count, I use whole-wheat macaroni, and to lower the sodium, I use low-sodium tomatoes, sauce, and chili powder.

I am 72 yrs old. My made this recipe when I was 5yrs old. We called it goulash.

This is a great dish and easy to fix. I have made this several times now and everyone who trys it likes it. If you have a vegan in the family it is appreciated by them. Ed (77 year old cook)

This is delicious! It smelled so good that we completely forgot about the sour cream! My husband doesn't like spicy food and this has just enough bite for the flavor to linger but does not sting.I used all "no salt added" ingredients and then added the tsp of salt it called for. That was perfect -- not too salty, not lacking salt, and it won't make me gain 3 pounds overnight! We will definitely be making this again and again!

If you are looking for a really good vegetarian recipe that will please everyone, this is the recipe to make!!!

Definately add the sour cream. That's what helps make this meal delicious. The whole family loved it and no leftovers!

Hearty and filling.  Every family member loved it (how often does that happen?).  Easy, fast and great for a cold day!  Give it a try.

Excellent and so easy to prepare. Don't be scared by the level of spice - it isn't too spicy at all. Do watch the pot as it as cooking as my batch tended to stick a little but nothing the occasional stir couldn't fix. My husband (vegetarian) and I (not so much) both loved this - a very satisfying and healthy meal! Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed this meal! We’ve been looking for meatless meals for lent and this truly didn’t disappoint. I did add more pasta because I felt like what it called for was not going to absorb all of the liquid (and I am very thankful I did). We also cooked with whole wheat pasta to try and put a “healthier” substitute for regular pasta.

This is such a great recipe.  One that I will make over and over again.  I've made it twice once with mild chili beans but the first time when I used southwest beans was my favorite.  Quick to make and so delicious.

This was good but not spectacular.  My one year old really liked it!

I wasn't able to purchase chili beans or the northern beans.  I substituted with red kidney beans and navy beans.  The dish was mushy and didn't have much flavour.  Maybe the results would have been different if I had been able to get the correct ingredients.  More salt was needed for flavour.Lorie Ligi Canada

This recipe was okay, but nothing special. It was lacking flavor and I added a healthy dose of sriracha to amp up the heat level.

Love it, It really fills you for low calories

Another of my family's favorites. Use diced tomatoes with green chilies and a little bit of cayenne to add some more kick.

My husband and I loved this!  He is a big meat eater and couldn't believe how good this tasted without meat.  I can't wait to make it again!
