Step 1: In a pot cook the macaroni from the Hambuger Helper package in boiling water until just al dente; drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large pot cook the ground beef with onion, garlic and bell pepper until no longer pink; drain fat. Add in chili powder, cumin, dryed chili flakes and jalapeno pepper (if using) cook stirring for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Add in broth powdered sauce mix from the Hamburger Helper and tomatoes with juice; cook uncovered over medium-low heat stirring occasionally for about 1 hour (can simmer longer if desired the longer you simmer the soup uncovered the richer it will be!).
Step 4: Add in the cooked macaroni, undrained corn and olives, season with salt and pepper and simmer another 10 minutes or until heated through. Ladle into bowls and dollup with sour cream if desired.
