Simple Basic Pasta with a good flavor

Just created a great little pasta dish that was created from leftovers for lunch today. Turned out so good I decided to post it.

1/2 Bag noodles (Anykind should do) I used ziti
1 16oz jar of pasta sauce(Spaghetti or pizza) I used pizza
Half chunk of pepper cheese( Pepper jack or a Pepper cheddar) I used Pepper Cheddar

All this was left over or getting close to not being used in time. I melted the cheese into the pasta sauce, boiled the noodles and then mixed it together. Turned out really really good.

We will be creating it again.

Simple Basic Chili Recipe

For anyone who wants to cook a chili batch starting with a simple recipe and then adding to it.
Think of it as a starter recipe.

2 cans 6oz tomato paste (Plus 2 6oz cans of water )
2 cans mexican/chili beans
1-2 lbs Meat. I use 1lb of ground turkey. But any meat is good.
2 tbsp chili powder - add more to taste

Cook the Meat. Put it in a 5+ Quart pot. Add everything to the pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Turn down to low and cover for 5 minutes. Serve.

That is a good simple recipe that makes 6+ servings. It will please everyone.

From that point you start adding your own. Start small don't add too much of 1 thing at a time. In ours we add 1 can or 1 small bag of corn. Pepper,sherry wine,garlic powder and onion powder.

At the table we add Cheddar cheese and sour cream.
