“This is a great comfort food recipe that I love to make on a cold winter day. It is also a hit at our church’s potluck dinners.”

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn
  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  3. Stir tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper into ground beef mixture; reduce heat and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook corn in the boiling water until cooked through, about 5 minutes; drain.
  5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  6. Mix corn, pasta, and Colby-Jack cheese into ground beef mixture; pour into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
