Mexican Macaroni and Cheese

Baked macaroni with beans that have a
Mexican or Spanish slant on the spices.
This is creamy, cheesy and tastes great.

Ingredients:
4 slices smoked bacon
1 (12 ounce) can baked beans in sauce
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
dash of salt or to taste
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup diced green peppers
2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place bacon in a casserole dish and
cook in oven until fat is rendered.
This took me 15 minutes to do.
Remove bacon from casserole,
leaving bacon fat in dish.
In a large mixing bowl combine
cooked macaroni, beans with sauce,
cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt,
diced tomato, and green peppers.
Pour this mixture into casserole dish,
and cover with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake until heated for about 45 minutes.
