2 of 3 Recipes- SW Goulash

Made this one for dinner the other night and it was VERY easy.  I recommend this one for any weekday night, or when you want something with noodles that's a little more exciting.  This one has a great Southwestern flavor!  Found it in my latest Simple and Delicious magazine.

Southwestern Goulash
1 cup elbow macaroni
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained (I only had the Italian style kind, but tasted just fine!)
2/3 cup frozen corn
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp ground cumin - (I used more like 1-1/2tsp)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro (I did not have any cilantro, but parsley can be substituted - I used dried parsley and only added about 1-2 Tbsp)
Fiesta/Mexican blend shredded cheese for topping

Cook macaroni according to package directions.
Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat in a dutch oven.  Add salt and pepper and cumin to season the meat.  This is where I ended up using about an extra tsp of cumin.
Cook beef until no longer pink and drain if necessary.
Stir in tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, chilies, cumin, pepper, salt.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Drain macaroni and add to meat mixture.  Stir in cilantro or parsley. 
Add cheese blend to each bowl/plate - great topping!
