After a long day at work, it is such a relief to have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less. Chili Casserole is filling and tasty, makes a great meal for all ages, and makes a fabulous leftover lunch. Check it out!
4 cups cooked bow tie pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 small or 1/2 large onion, chopped
2 1/2 cups sauce-I use plain, but a seasoned tomato sauce would work fine
2 cans kidney beans, or 1 quart home canned navy or kidney type beans
2 cans of Mexican stewed tomatoes (these have green chilies in them)
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, or 1/4 tsp cayenne (or to taste, this amount is child friendly)
2 cloves minced garlic
s/p to taste
