Wow! The easiest and most delicious chili recipe ever!!! I made the following additions: seasoned the meat with various spices, added a can of diced tomatoes(seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano), added a can of corn and peppers, used half and onion, cooked the pasta separately and used a 23.5 oz jar of Prego Chunky Garden Tomato, Onion and Garlic. It was so good! I am definately going to keep this as a winter staple!

This was a fabulous meal. I needed something good but hearty and kid friendly too. Everyone loved it and there was barely any clean up. A definate one pan wonder and family favorite.

Very simple to make. It was enjoyed by everyone. I kicked up the spice a bit with some red pepper.
