Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 pound ground beef (80 percent meat/20 percent fat)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups marinara sauce (pick one with personality!)
One 8.5-ounce bag microwaveable pasta, such as rotini, elbows or penne
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced into rounds
Greek yogurt or sour cream and sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or a grill to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the olive oil, chili powder and cumin to a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Toast and stir until the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the beef, salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, breaking the beef into bits while browning, until fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and stir to coat. Add the pasta straight from the bag and stir.
  • Level the contents of the pan and top with the cheese, then arrange the jalapeno slices around the pan on top. Bake or grill with the lid closed until the cheese melts and is golden on the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the Greek yogurt and scallions. Serve warm.

SKILLET CHILI MAC - SOUTHERN RECIPE



SKILLET CHILI MAC - SOUTHERN RECIPE image

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil
1-1/2 cups of chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper
1 or 2 jalapenos, chopped
1 pound of ground beef
1 pound of raw breakfast sausage
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
2-1/2 tablespoons of chili powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 (7 ounce) can green chilies
2 cups of water
1 (15.5 ounce) can pinto or red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1-1/2 cups of dry medium cut pasta (like elbow macaroni or shells)
1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, divided, or to taste, plus more for garnish
Optional Garnishes: Sliced green onions, fresh diced tomatoes, sour cream or your other favorite chili toppings

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large lidded skillet over medium high heat; add the onion and peppers, and cook for about 4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. To that, add the ground beef, sausage and garlic, breaking up the meat and cooking, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasonings. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and green chilies; stir. Add the water, beans, pasta and half of the cheese. Bring to a boil, stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until pasta is cooked through; uncover, stir and let simmer, uncovered, until reduced to desired consistency. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover and cook over low until cheese melts. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh diced tomatoes, sour cream or your other favorite chili toppings. Cook's Notes: I was conservative with the cheese here using one cup - feel free to increase that as you like. May also substitute 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice for the pasta. I used one tablespoon of chipotle chili powder with 1-1/2 tablespoons of regular chili powder; with that as written, this chili is quite fiery. I also used Hunt's fire roasted tomatoes, using my kitchen shears to break them up smaller. You may also substitute 1 (10-ounce) can Chili Fixin's or diced tomatoes with green chilies (like mild or original Rotel) for the regular diced, but be mindful of the other heat elements that you use in the recipe. For more juice, add in additional tomatoes and/or sauce; to transform to a soup, add beef broth.
