Mac and Tomatoes

This is a recipe from Sydney's family that we have come to love and have altered a little as well.

Recipe: (The amounts we use are for us 2 with a little left over for Rick's lunch)
1/2 box rigatoni
1 large can diced tomatoes, italian style
1 small can tomato sauce
1 lb. ground turkey
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Oregano

Directions:
1. Cook the noodles as directed on the package.
2. Brown and season the ground turkey.
3. Combine the noodles, cooked turkey, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce and heat it all up.
4. Enjoy! :)

We absolutely love this dinner and it is very cheap. We like to eat homemade hashbrown's with it as well. Also, if the tomato flavor is too overwhelming you can take out the tomato sauce. Enjoy! :)

This is a great dish if you are a meat lover!! It's easy to make, tastes delicious and would be good for a party! We had potato salad, but this would also be delicious with grilled veggies!
