KITTENCAL'S CHILI SPAGHETTI



Kittencal's Chili Spaghetti image

Nothing fancy about the chili but it's a darn good recipe to serve over pasta, I strongly suggest to make the chili mixture a day ahead and refrigerate, the flavor really does get stronger and better! Adjust the chili powder to taste, I use half chili powder and half ancho chili powder for a more smokey flavor, for more heat add in dried chili flakes. Although the ingredients listed make a really great chili mixture, you can add in other ingredients to create your favorite chili if desired! You can use ground turkey in place of ground beef, this is also great with penne or rigatoni pasta, see my recipe#168653

2 large onions, chopped
1 large celery rib, finely chopped
2 -3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
5 -6 tablespoons chili powder (I use lots!)
2 tablespoons cumin
1 -2 tablespoon beef bouillon powder
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans (undrained or use one can only)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes or 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (7 ounce) bottle taco sauce (mild or spicy or use 2 bottles 215-ml Old El Paso spicy)
salt and pepper
cooked spaghetti
grated old cheddar cheese (any amount desired)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook the ground beef with green bell peppers, onions, garlic, celery and jalapeno peppers stirring with a wooden spoon until beef is no longer pink; drain.
  • Add in the chili powder, cumin and beef bouillon powder; cook stirring with wooden spoon for another 5 minutes, or until the ground beef is well browned.
  • Add in tomatoes with juice, beans with juice, crushed tomatoes and taco sauce; cook uncovered over low heat breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon for about 1-1/2-2 hours, season with lots of salt and black pepper (you can really simmer this for as long as you want to over low heat until as thick as you like, just make certain to simmer it uncovered, the longer you cook the chili the richer and thicker it will be!).
  • Divide the cooked pasta in bowls, then ladle the chili mixture on top, then sprinkle with grated cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili: Not all chili is created equal. For this recipe, you'll want a chili that's flavorful and has a bit of a kick. You can use a store-bought chili or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make this dish special. Be sure to use a variety of toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalapeños. You can also add other toppings, such as avocado, cilantro, or lime wedges.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti: Spaghetti should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the spaghetti, it will become mushy and ruin the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Chili spaghetti is best served immediately. If you let it sit for too long, the spaghetti will start to absorb the chili and become soggy.

Conclusion:

Chili spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its combination of chili, spaghetti, and toppings, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chili spaghetti a try.
