❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
There are many opinions about pasta in chili but we enjoy it. We make many different variations of chili but this one is great. We also use spaghetti at times or really any pasta you have on hand. It also stretches this dish, makes it last longer. Great way to stretch a dish!
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Ground beef
- Ground turkey
- Chili hot beans
- Kidney beans or pinto beans (I use whatever I have available)
- Onion
- Diced tomatoes
- Salt and Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Chili powder

SWAPS
This recipe can be made with all ground turkey or all ground beef or half and half. You can also make this with ground pork or ground chicken. It’s super versatile and a dish you can make to your liking very easily. You can also add a chili packet for added flavor.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This is made in a skillet but you can easily make up the meat, throw it in a crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients, minus the pasta. You will want to add that before you eat, so it doesn’t get overcooked.
📖COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Brown turkey, beef and onion in skillet and drain. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then turn to simmer for about an hour.
⭐TIP
We love to serve this with cheese and a little sour cream. Of course you have to have saltine crackers!
