Kittencal's Chili Spaghetti

Nothing fancy about the chili but it's a darn good recipe to serve over pasta, i strongly suggest to make the chili mixture a day ahead and refrigerate, the flavor really does get stronger and better! Adjust the chili powder to taste, i use half chili powder and half ancho chili powder for a more smokey flavor, for more heat add in dried chili flakes. Although the ingredients listed make a really great chili mixture, you can add in other ingredients to create your favorite chili if desired! You can use ground turkey in place of ground beef, this is also great with penne or rigatoni pasta, see my recipe#168653

Steps

In a large skillet cook the ground beef with green bell peppers , onions , garlic , celery and jalapeno peppers stirring with a wooden spoon until beef is no longer pink.

Drain.

Add in the chili powder , cumin and beef bouillon powder.

Cook stirring with wooden spoon for another 5 minutes , or until the ground beef is well browned.

Add in tomatoes with juice , beans with juice , crushed tomatoes and taco sauce.

Cook uncovered over low heat breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon for about 1-1 / 2-2 hours , season with lots of salt and black pepper.

Divide the cooked pasta in bowls , then ladle the chili mixture on top , then sprinkle with grated cheese.

Delicious !.
