1 lb. ground beef
1 c. cooked macaroni
2 c. sliced or cubed squash
2 lb. tomatoes (retain juice)
1/2 c. red or green peppers
1 Tbsp. chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 tsp. ground peppercorns, crushed

Preparation

Cook macaroni. Scramble ground beef, pepper and onion in skillet.
When cooked, add tomatoes and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Add squash and seasonings. Steam for approximately 5 minutes or until tender. Add macaroni. If making casserole, alternate mixture with layers of shredded cheese and top with bread crumbs. Bake until cheese is melted and bread crumbs toasted.
