My Own Rogatoni

 I don't like spaghetti sauce. So I came up with this as a suitable replacement. Its wonderful in a crock pot. And its even better the next day. I like to serve it with a cornbread or a nice warm Italian bread and salad.

one onion
one green pepper
garlic powder
1-2 Tblespoons oregano
1 pound of ground meat( can use Turkey, Beef, Buffalo, Moose)
2 cans black beans
2 cans stewed tomatoes( Italian flavored is best)
1 can of corn

shredded fresh Parmesan
4 cups cooked rigatoni pasta.

This is a simple recipe but really good.  Chop the veggies and cook in olive oil.  Add the meat, cook until browned. Add the canned foods, with the liquids. Add the garlic powder.   Add one tablespoon of the oregano.  Let simmer for a few hours on very low, checking the flavor. If it isn't flavorful enough add the last Tablespoon of oregano.   Its also fabulous in a crock pot. Serve over the pasta.
