Chasta Chili And Pasta Dish

---

My son zack named this recipe. it's my chili recipe with tiny pasta thrown in. all of the ingredients are to your preference for spiciness, beans and veggie amounts. this is how i make it for us, though. you may need to add more chicken stock the next day if you prefer some liquid with your pasta and bean bowl.

Steps

---

Put pasta into a pot large enough to hold the rest of the ingredients when everything is combined.

---

Boil according to package directions , drain and return to pot.

---

We use whole wheat pasta , but really anything tiny will do.

---

While pasta is cooking , brown the ground turkey or beef with the green pepper and onions in a large pan , using salt , pepper and cayenne to taste.

---

Add chicken , garlic and packets of taco seasoning and ranch seasoning , cook for two minutes while stirring.

---

Stir in undrained diced tomatoes , enchilada sauce and tomato paste , cooking until liquid reduces a little.

---

Put entire meat mixture into the pot containing the drained , cooked pasta and stir.

---

Add drained corn , beans and chicken soup and bring to a boil.

---

Reduce heat and cook , stirring occasionally for up to 1 hour.

---

You may add more chicken broth if you like more liquid with your chili.
