For any one who loves Chili and the Taste of Mexican cooking this is a great hearty dish, filled with veggies, beans, meat and pasta. Great on a cold night, served with warm Breadsticks . My Grandkids beg for more every time.

Serves 6-8  or makes dinner for 2 nights ( This version was made with leftover meatballs instead of ground beef )
 Ingredients :
1 lb Ground Beef ( lean ) or Meatballs
1  16 oz. can Chili with Beans
1  12 oz. can Manwich Sauce ( thick and chunky if available )
1 12 oz. can Mexican Corn or 1 cup Frozen Corn
1 Green Pepper diced
1 Onion diced
1 16 oz. can Delmonte diced tomatoes with mild Green Chiles ( drained ) or Chili Style
1/2 a packet Ortega Taco Seasoning
1 box Wagon Wheel pasta or Cavatappi
1 bag of Taco Cheese or Cheddar Jack Cheese

 Directions :

 In large skillet brown ground beef with peppers and onions. When beef is cooked through drain  and stir in Chili, Manwich Sauce, Taco seasoning, Tomatoes and Corn ( drained ). Simmer for 5 minutes.
 While Beef mixture is cooking cook pasta as directed on package and drain.
Combine the beef mixture and pasta together, pour into baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes then top with cheese and bake another 5 minutes or just until the cheese has melted.
