Yummy Chili Casserole

Submitted by jovigirl

"This is an easy one-dish meal that is a little different than just making chili for dinner. I recommend sauteing the onions and celery in a little olive oil before adding the meat to the pan. I've posted the original recipe as I first found it. Enjoy!"

What a great casserole! I loved the can of chili in this. I used less ground beef, and in place of celery I chopped up half of a red bell pepper. I used a mix of purple and green onion. One cup of frozen corn instead of canned. And, finally added 1/2 t. of crushed red pepper flakes for a little intrigue. Heavenly! Thanks jovigirl.

Excellent dish & a fairly short preparation time for chili. The noodles make this a unique chili recipe. I used no-salt-added tomatoes (because that's what I'm used to) and omitted the cheese.

This really hit the spot on this cold winter day. I used stewed tomatoes because that is what I had on had. This is so qick and easy when you are in a hurry. The addition of noodles is really different and one that we LOVED! Thanks for sharing, jovigirl!!!
