Well hello friends! I know it's been awhile, but things have been busy and I haven't been getting creative in the kitchen until last night.
It's an unusual 39 degrees and raining here in New Braunfels and let me just say that cold weather is just fine when I'm in Colorado with my Houston and Tulsa family, but when it's that cold down here, it weirds me out and I'm a tad bit of a baby about it for a few days. But after the 3rd day, which was yesterday, I begin to want cold weather food so I made this chili pasta. Enjoy!
Chili Pasta
• 1lb ground beef (or turkey to make healthier)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 can (14.5) of stewed tomatoes
• 1 can (15 oz) of tomato sauce
• 1 can of ranch style beans; semi-drained
• 1 1/2 cups of water
• 1 bag medium shells
• Garlic Powder
• Chili Powder
Heat up your skillet, brown your meat and sautée your onion. Add your cans of goodness and water bring to a simmer. Season with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to your taste buds.
Cook pasta as directed. Then combine it all together.
Now, I know it seems odd, but have I strayed you wrong before (as far as cooking goes)?? NO! Get yourself from Fritos, put it in the bowl then put the Chili Pasta on top, and garnish with shredded cheese. Mmm it's so good! Trust me!
I always like to give credit where credit is due and I got the chili recipe from allrecipes.com.
yours truly,
