MEXI GROUND BEEF CHILI MACARONI CASSEROLE
Sausage meat can be used in place of the ground beef, and any small pasta can be substituted for the macaroni. If you like more chili flavor then add in a couple tablespoons of chili powder. I have even added in some red kidney beans and sliced green olives to this casserole, but that is optional. This casserole can be completely prepared up to 24 hours in advance, cover the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate until ready to bake, increase the cooking time slightly. For taco seasoning see recipe #76616.

GROUND BEEF CHILI WITH CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER
Making use of a well-stocked pantry, this weeknight chili takes inspiration from the flavor profile of mole negro, an Oaxacan sauce made with chiles and chocolate that traditionally takes a full day to make, but results in a pot full of depth and nuance in less than an hour. It relies upon ground beef or turkey, and uses canned chiles in adobo, paprika and ancho chili powder for heat, plus a mix of warm spices, chocolate in two forms, and a little bit of peanut butter to round it out. In essence, this recipe is another variation of the combination of sweet and heat.

EASY AND QUICK GROUND BEEF AND SALSA CHILI
This meal can be on the table in around an hour, even faster if you have freezer-ready ground beef mix, or you can simmer it for longer. If you do not have any chili seasoning mix use about 2-4 tablespoons chili powder instead, you can substitute 2 cups tomato sauce mixed with 1 cup water in place of tomato juice. This is great served with crostini or crusty buns
