As a food blogger, I take a lot of photos. Really.

This recipe and the photos are an example. The good news is we have an amazing video that shows how delicious this recipe for Cheesy Chili Pasta is!

This is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I use it for so many recipes. It’s called the Mix ‘n Chop from Pampered Chef. I use it mostly for breaking up ground beef, but it’s also great for chopping eggs for egg salad, chopping chicken or tuna for salad. If you need to make a ton of scrambled eggs, this is the tool to help you break up the yolks! Click on the photo to learn more.

A combination of chili with mac and cheese all combined in one delicious casserole!

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 pound of ground beef
4 cups chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans; drained and rinsed
1 can Mexicorn; drained
1 TBS oil
1 small onion; chopped
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder; more if desired
2 teaspoons cumin
salt and pepper; to taste
8 ounces small shaped pasta; I used mini shells
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream, parsley for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a heavy Dutch oven or large skillet, heat the oil over medium to high heat.
Add the ground beef and begin to break it up. Add the garlic and onion and cook until the beef is browned. Drain off the excess fat if necessary
Stir in the chicken broth, tomatoes, kidney beans, Mexicorn.
Add the chili powder, cumin and season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and then add the dry pasta.
Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat and simmer until the pasta is cooked through. Depending on the shape of pasta you’re using, this could take 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and top with cheddar cheese. Put the lid back on for the cheese to melt or I put it under the broiler for a few minutes; which I highly recommend!
