PECOS PASTA

Steps:

• 1. Cook elbow macaroni according to instructions. Drain well.
• 2. In large skillet, melt butter. Add onion, and green pepper. Cook until tender, do not brown. Add desired cans of chili, (or if vegetarian, chili beans, with chili sauce), or your own chili, 2-3 cups. Add corn, seasoned salt, and pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Stir in macaroni. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
• 3. Cover and heat on low 5 minutes. Note: If you have an 8 oz box of macaroni, you will want to use the larger amount of chili. I always add more cheese to make it creamier. I like to stir in the one cup, and add another on the top. Makes it very creamy, and tasty.
• 4. NOTE: As mentioned above, I have adapted this dish for a vegetarian easily by usig chili beans without meat. You can use the vegetarian chili as well. GLUTEN-FREE: Use an 8 oz. box of your favorite gluten free elbow macaroni. Continue as directed. Make sure your other seasoning ingredients are also GF. Reheats easily, if you have any leftovers.
