1. In a large saucepan (which is oven safe) heated over medium heat, add the onion and garlic followed by a good drizzle of olive oil. Salt, pepper and mix. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes to soften.

2. Add the ground beef and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Break into small pieces. Drain the fat.

3. Add the bell pepper, chili, paprika, cumin and Italian spices then mix. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.

4. Add corn, beans, tomatoes and macaroni then season with salt and pepper. Mix and continue cooking for about 5 to 6 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and the liquid has almost all evaporated. Remove from fire.

5. Add the gouda cheese, fresh parsley and mix. Let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to GRILL.

7. Bury with the cheddar cheese and place in the oven. Bake for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely browned on top! Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
