Beef Macaroni and Cheese

1-pound box elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped green bell pepper
2 cups chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 pounds lean ground beef
3 cups canned crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon each dried basil, ground cumin, and dried oregano
2 to 3 cups grated Cheddar

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain and set
aside. Heat the oil in a skillet; add the peppers, onion, and
garlic, and saute until soft. Add the ground beef and saute until
browned. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, to taste, and the basil,
cumin, and oregano. In a large bowl, combine the macaroni and the
beef mixture. Spread this mixture into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
Top with the cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the
cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.
