This is a really good quick meal - great for weeknight family dinners. You'll probably want to experiment with how much Tabasco to use. I suggest going easy at first. No need to have the whole family in tears on the first go. :)
Ingredients:
10 ounces penne
1 lb ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup salsa (heat level is up to you)
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
tabasco sauce, to taste
Directions:
1. Cook penne according to directions and drain.
2. Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Drain off fat, then add chili powder, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salsa and chilies, and cook for about 5 minutes.
3. Toss pasta and sauce together and spoon into a 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with the cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then serve.
