Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

A simple but flavorful dish made with elbow macaroni, ground beef, bell pepper, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and Monterey Jack cheese.

1 1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
3/4 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and diced
3 cans (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash black pepper
1 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the tomatoes, chili power, salt, oregano, cumin, cayenne, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta as directed on the package. Drain well.
Stir the macaroni into the beef mixture and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Stir the cheese into the mixture and let heat through for 2 minutes then serve.
