This cooks up quick and easy. Enjoy!

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey or beef

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 16 oz can corn, drained or equivalent frozen

  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce

  • 1/2 t. chili powder

Brown ground beef or turkey with onion , drain excess fat. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer 10 minutes. Serve over as is or over rice. Makes 4 servings.

Suggestions:
If you have leftovers, double the dish to have planned leftovers, try this: Heat a few cups of stock (how many will depend on amount of leftovers) and add leftovers to it. Instant soup.

Total cost is $2.00. Cost is calculated based on prices at a "bag your own groceries" type supermarket in Southwest Washington. Look for my recipe pamphlet coming in mid January and my book coming out in January 1999. Please e-mail me at inudog@pacifier.com with your questions or comments.
