What’s not to like? Chili with pasta and cheese. This is by far our favorite version, which comes from the Tex-Mex Cookbook.

This recipe is from my Great Aunt Arlene Clark, and it reminds me of my youth. It’s hearty, filling and tasty. It’s kind of like a skillet casserole or a homemade hamburger helper.

We will definitely make this one again. Ingredients: 4 c. water [...]
