Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"A wonderful one-skillet meal that's very tasty, and even tastes better if left for next day"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 large cloves fresh minced garlic
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• salt and pepper (I use seasoned salt)
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or adjust to heat level)
• 1 (15 ounce) can veggie-style chili with beans
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream (low fat is okay, do not use fat-free)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder (or to taste)
• 8 ounces cooked pasta (any kind that you desire)

directions

1. In a skillet, cook ground beef with onion, bell pepper until no longer pink; drain fat then add in garlic and chili flakes and continue cooking until the meat is browned (this may take about 10-12 minutes to brown the meat).
2. Stir in canned chili beans, tomatoes with juice, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and chili powder.
3. Mix the mixture with cooked pasta, until well coated then season with salt and pepper.
4. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded cheese.
5. Cover and cook in the same skillet for 20 minutes on med-low heat, until bubbly.

Sorry, Kittencal... out of all of the wonderful recipes of yours I have tried and liked, I have to give this one a pass. I don't know if it was the type of chili I used, or the kind of canned tomatoes I used, but I found this recipe to be bland and mostly flavorless. I was able to help it a bit with some salt and some Pace Hot, but overall, I didn't care for it.

Looking for a quick and satisfying meal? This is it! I also loved the fact that it calls for most of the ingredients that I usually have on hand anyway. I served a simple garden salad and the meal was complete. You did it again, Kittencal.

made this today, was a very good meal. Next time i'll jazzed it up a little, hmm maybe 1.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. The sour cream added a very nice next level of taste. Certainly was as said a full meal, wonderfull. thanks for sharing kittencal
